Yves

Yves's place was perfect for a group of 10 people. The place is clean, spacious, and ideal for relaxing. Yves is very attentive, responds very quickly, and also resolves issues if needed. I would recommend it, and we would go back!

Excellent choice in Cahuita. We really enjoyed it. The house is very nice and fully equipped for cooking, and we even used the grill. Yves is very attentive, responds quickly, and was very flexible with our check-in and check-out times. The entrance to Cahuita National Park is 750 m away (a 10 min walk).

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wonderful Stay and an Amazing Host! My family and I had a wonderful stay at Yves’s beautiful property near Puerto Viejo and Cahuita. Yves was an exceptional host: warm, welcoming, kind, and genuinely thoughtful. He also speaks French, which was especially appreciated by members of my family. He made us feel comfortable right away and shared excellent recommendations for local restaurants and activities. We tried Aroma Café, which he suggested, and everyone loved it! The property is unique, peaceful, and full of character, surrounded by lush tropical gardens, trees, coconuts, lemons, and beautiful greenery. It felt like a relaxing artistic retreat. The accommodations were spacious and perfect for groups, with multiple bedrooms, kitchens, a living area, and a pool. We only stayed one night, so we did not get to enjoy everything, but we would have loved to stay longer. Yves made our short visit truly special and felt more like a friend than a host. This was a 10/10 experienc

We had a fantastic time with our entire family. The rooms were very clean and spacious for everybody, and the garden is all experience on its own. Yves was a very gracious and flexible host.

As a party of 8, we were very comfortable at Villa Mango. The property is beautiful and we enjoyed having two houses to spread out in. The teens took one house and the adults took the other! The pool was wonderful and we also enjoyed the outdoor kitchen. You will hear some road noise from the main road, but it did not bother us at all (we were also there during a very busy holiday week, so the traffic was likely heavier than usual). The property is walkable into the town of Cahuita and the national park/beach. We went to the beach several times, enjoyed the national park trail (runs along the beach) and went snorkeling. Yves is an excellent host - he was proactive with suggestions on places to visit and eat in town, checked in on us via Whats App a few times and also offered to drive us around to give us the lay of the land. Wish we could have stayed longer!

It took us less than a minute after arrival to fall in love with Villa Mango. Walking through the gardens for the first time was like a surreal, storybook experience and it was hard to process all the lush vegetation we were walking through. We feel so fortunate to have stayed here for a week. We particularly loved the outdoor cooking and dining, the excellent pool, and all the howlers, capuchins, agouti and birds that stopped by. And as spectacular as the property is, our host Yves elevated our stay to another level. He greeted us with a big smile and a gracious welcome. Made my Mom truly feel like "the Queen" from the first minute. And although he lives just behind the property he's almost invisible for the most part... but always there when you need. The nice touch of waving goodbye to us when we were (sadly) driving away locked this away as one of my favorite Costa Rican accommodation experiences in our three visits to the country. Yves hospitality won't soon be forgotten.

Yves is the most incredible host. He aims to make sure you have a nice time while there. Yves found and brought sand toys for my granddaughter the first day we arrived. The property is stunning. Yves is extremely helpful, kind and responsive. Yves hooked us up with a local fisherman/restaurant owner named Roberto. Roberto cook the fish we caught and prepared a massive fish and lobster feast at Roberto’s restaurant. Incredible! Hear the family of howler monkeys in the backyard (they are active and loud right before sunrise and again around dusk. The property is walkable to the main part of town. And about 1 mile from the supermarket. Yves answered all my questions and then some. We cannot wait to go back. Actually thinking of booking this property again in August when we go back. My words don’t do it justice. You will NOT regret choosing Yves as your Airbnb host. We got way way more than we ever bargained for and Yves helped us live our experience to the fullest. Pura Vida 💙

We had a wonderful extended family stay at Casa Mango. The house was beautiful decorated, the outdoor kitchen perfect for our group, clean comfortable rooms, and beautiful nature / garden on the property. Easily walkable to Playa Blanca and a great base for exploring the area. Very grateful to Yves for his warm, attentive hospitality. We hope to be back!

We had a great time in Cahuita. The accommodation is in a great location, close to downtown and the national park. Yves gave us some great tips throughout the stay.

Extraordinary!! Villa Mango was the perfect place for our personal work retreat. Everything was impeccable, the pool, the gardens and the beautiful decor. Yves' service was unbeatable, what a nice man, he made us feel at home! All the animals we wanted to see arrived to accompany us and fill us with wonder. Yves' recommendations for restaurants were wonderful! "Roberto, la casa de la langosta" and "Soda Kawe" served us during the 8 days we were there and everything was delicious and the service was punctual and perfect. We can only be grateful for everything we experienced in Villa Mango during the 8 days we were there. Thank you Yves!

The host let us in early, he was always attentive to questions, very friendly and the place is in a good location. Highly recommended place, we would love to go back.

A beautiful place hosted by terrific people don’t miss out on the chance to entertain friends and family here in a low-key atmosphere.

Yves was great host. He stayed away, but was always available for anything we needed. The home beautiful, well equipped and had interesting art. I would go back for sure.

Perfect location with two villas for our large group. We loved the pool, outdoor kitchen, and large lounging spaces. The hosts were wonderful to us and we had an amazing time in Cahuita! Hope to come back sometime!

A very beautiful place, the facilities are better than in the photographs. The hosts were very friendly and accessible, a great location and a very quiet atmosphere

The host was very kind and attentive. The place was very clean and had all the amenities a large family needed to enjoy the holidays and celebrate my son's birthday. The property is very quiet, safe and surrounded by nature. In addition, it has a perfect ranch for barbecuing and sharing in outdoor activities. Thank you very much, Yves and Marie Sophie, for your hospitality and attention. We definitely recommend this place!

Yves is an excellent host!! He was always attentive to our needs and resolved them immediately… excellent service

The truth is, it's quite good, everything is clean, tidy, a comfortable space to vacation for a few days, there are no complaints at all with the place or the host

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Mango! We are a family of five with 3 adult children- we loved enjoying the pool in the garden while we watched the monkeys in the trees and gathering on the lovely porch playing cards while a thunderstorm passed through. The home is beautiful and surrounded by incredible wildlife. Yves was the perfect host and quickly responded to any question we had and provided lots of good local recommendations. We were sad to leave this special place!

We are a large family, and the place gave us the comforts and spaces to be happy and share beautiful moments. A great host, always with a smile and a kind gesture. Thanks Yves

Yves was a great host and the place was so beautiful!

Yves was a super accommodating and friendly host. The place was as good as promised, very spacious and well located!

Our stay in Cahuita was wonderful. Yves’ villa was a peaceful place to watch wildlife in the garden. Yves was extremely responsive and helpful. Including helping us pack up in torrential rain. Thank you!

Great stay at this beautiful place. Yves is very friendly and always available. I recommend this accommodation without hesitation!

Yves was a kind, personable host and he made everything easy for us. His property was beautiful and there was plenty of space for our group of 8. The pool was great after a day in the park to just hang out in and relax. He gave us restaurant recommendations and helped us get groceries as well. We would definitely return if our travels bring us back to the area.

We had the most wonderful family time at Yves Mango house. From the moment he met us out side ushering us to our gated oasis with parking behind a gate to the sad moment we had to leave, Yves was always the most gracious, friendly and helpful just imaginable. He stayed out of site unless we needed anything, but was right there to lend a helping hand or give local advice on great spots. The property is a garden oasis with beautiful tropical plants and trees. During our stay we saw a toucan, and numerous birds, two monkey pods in the trees, iguanas, geckos and the local agouti’s. You will not be disappointed in this location!! The rooms, outdoor kitchen and main house are exactly like the pictures, warm, inviting and very comfortable to relax in. We found it difficult some days to lave and see sights as we were enjoying the Mango House. Highly recommend property and host.

We had a great experience in this home. The place was very clean and very well equipped, ideal for large families like ours, we didn't need anything. Communication with Yves was excellent at all times, always attentive and helpful, which made our stay even more comfortable. We would definitely recommend this place and stay again. Thank you for everything!

We had a fantastic stay! Yves was amazing, super responsive and incredibly helpful throughout our trip. The location was perfect, with easy access to beaches and great restaurants nearby. The house had a warm, homey feel and plenty of space, which was perfect for our big group. We especially loved the pool and all the thoughtful amenities. Highly recommended!

Yves is a very welcoming and very helpful host! Her house is beautiful, surrounded by greenery and perfect for staying with the family. We had a great time in the pool and summer kitchen. Thank you 🙏

Thank you Ivan for all the attention, we felt very comfortable... we'll be back

Yves is a standout host. Easily the most responsive and helpful Airbnb host we’ve ever met. From meeting us at checkin and suggesting local recommendations to helping reunite lost teddies Yves went out of his way to look after us. His place is amazing. Beautiful main house, great outdoor kitchen and a lovely central pool. The surroundings are amazing…we had our closest monkey encounter in the back garden! Easy walk into town or to the nearest beach and nature reserve. A real pleasure to visit and definitely a place and host I’d 100% recommend.

Eleven of us spent a wonderful weekend at Villa Mango and really want to come back here. Yves was very friendly and uncomplicated, the check-in and check-out was flexible, he was always easily accessible. Everything is very nice, a wonderful garden with great pool, the kitchens inside we are equipped with everything you need, the rooms are very nice and airy and all have their own bathroom. The whole system is very valuable and appealing. We felt completely comfortable. Thanks so much! This was one of the most beautiful places to stay here in Costa Rica and very suitable for groups. Unfortunately, you can hear the street.

We loved our stay at Villa Mango. came for a get away reunión with several families with small kids and it was the perfect place ti spend quality time, cook, socialize and use the pool then have separated sleeping and napping áreas. Yves was super accomodating and helpful in all aspects of our stay!

We can’t gush enough about yves’ place! We were a group of 11 with 6 adults and 5 children and yves took such good care of us and was so kind. The kiddos loved the pool and the adults loved the amount of space we all had! The kitchen was well stocked w dishes etc. we mostly used the outdoor kitchen for dinner and the inside kitchen for breakfast. It about a 15m drive to puerto viejo but walkable to the cahuita national park and other beaches/hikes were close. Would definitely stay there again!!!

Beautiful place a lot animals to see

A beautiful stay for a large company. It is even more beautiful and larger than in the photos. Beautiful in nature with plenty of space.

Yves was an amazing host and his property was so beautiful! Perfect for our family. Everyone had privacy (lots of bathrooms!) but there were also great spots to gather. The pool was clean and welcoming and the spacious front porch and outdoor kitchen were favorites. Yves offered us so many extras - a trip to the supermarket, setting up chairs at the beach, access to fresh seafood through his vendor, even a birthday cake with champagne!! He was always available to answer our questions and arrange activities. I would recommend Villa Mango 100% and look forward to returning!!

Ivan was quite proactive from the beginning and left everything perfectly organized so that everything during check-in and the stay was perfect and easy to handle. I have no constructive criticism because everything was really excellent!

Excellent place full of peace and nature👏🏻. We will definitely be back because it is spectacular

A super comfortable and cute place, surrounded by nature and tranquility. Everything matched the description. I would come back no problem. Super recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The place is very quiet and comfortable. The host super attentive and concerned about our well-being, even when we left wondering if we arrived well. Will definitely be back.

The place is beautiful, very well kept and Yves is very warm and friendly.

Excellent care and beautiful place

Lugar super bonito, lots of green area, tranquil, private. Each room with its private bathroom, this is excellent. Super complete kitchenware. has everything. large, safe and clean pool area. the host and his wife are super friendly and very good treatment. I recommend it and would go there again.

Wow! Not only is this gorgeous villa in a perfect location, close to the national park and restaurants yet private, it served as a perfect place for respite and total relaxation after two weeks of travelling Costa Rica. We instantly felt at home and whilst we did not think we needed a villa with a pool, this was a total hit with the kids and gave the adults space to relax! What really made this place stand out for us was the extremely attentive host who really went above and beyond to make us comfortable, welcomed and equipped with everything we needed including recommendations for places to visit and restaurants. Thank you for such a memorable time!

Lovely quiet location close to everything but not in the middle of it. We saw agouti and howler monkeys and birds in the property. Lots of space. Private. Easy to find. Good communication. Walking distance to beach and grocery and restaurants. Pool was refreshing.

Beautiful place, close to ocean and right in the heart of Cahuita/walking distance to village! We enjoyed the large space and pool, and saw many animals on the property! Yves was a very warm and responsive host, and provided great recommendations! I am grateful that my family got a chance to stay here! : )

Villa Mango was perfect for our family reunion. We were able to fit 12 family members with plenty of room and very comfortably. The place has a nice swimming pool and plenty of fans. The owner Yves was a great host and very attentive to our needs. We had an amazing time!!

Great location for family vacations. Close to the national park, close to super markets and easily accessible. As for amenities, everything you need and more. 4 Separate spaces to be together but not scrambled, a good size pool, everything clean and tidy. Yves as a person is exceptional, their attention and communication were excellent.

A very beautiful and familiar place.

The house is very spacious and with lots of greenery. We liked the decor, the pool and that the host was very friendly. The only thing I would say is missing is a washing machine as I went with a 1 year old baby and needed to change it frequently. Overall, we had a nice experience with my whole family.

We had a great stay at Yves's place. Very nice house with more than enough space for the five of us. Yves made all rooms available, wonderful for us and the adolescents to have space and privacy. The kitchen is equipped with everything you wish for and nice lots of cutlery, glasses and plates. The outdoor kitchen was an absolute plus. Especially with the fresh mackerel and lobster that Yves managed to buy for us. This kitchen also had everything you need to cook and bbq with again enough plates and glasses. The house has a lovely garden (self laid out by Yves), where we have seen the necessary beautiful butterflies, birds and monkeys. From the veranda or from the cooling swimming pool. From the house you can easily walk to the beach or to the village. For the latter, Yves also had some good tips for eating out. All in all, we had 4 great days. Wonderful place and a super host!

Mango Villa was a wonderful place to gather for a family reunion of three generations of our family plus a couple of family friends. There was plenty of room for everyone to have both their own space to rest and get some private time in lovely accommodations, in addition to areas where we could all gather. We really enjoyed the pool and the outdoor kitchen, as well as the lovely tropical surroundings where we saw many types of butterflies and birds. We also appreciated how easy it was to walk to the beach. Yves was a terrific host who always responded promptly and had great recommendations for places to eat and things to do. We would love to return to Villa Mango again!

Yves was such a great host, always friendly took the time to give us Restaurants recommendations for me and my family, the place is amazing not to far from Puerto Viejo, it is exactly as the picture, hope to be back soon!

How can I begin to describe one of the most beautiful and unique places that I have ever stayed. The house itself was beautiful but the pictures don’t even begin to do justice to the gardens We saw many different birds and even saw monkeys. The pool was a perfect way to end the day. Yves was so friendly and helpful. He gave us great recommendations and made sure that our stay was memorable. Thanks Yves. We will definitely be back.

Very spacious villa, near the national park. Well equipped, with a beautiful garden, a swimming pool in the middle, ideal for families. The host was very attentive, he answered all our questions quickly, check in-check out flexible would definitely come back

Beautiful place, very peaceful and surrounded by nature. Yves is very helpful and kind. We would definitely like to come back.

Yves was amazing and extremely responsive. Helped us with recommendations and has the cutest gem of a place.

Had a wonderful time! Yves was one of the warmest hosts we've ever had. Clear recommendation 🥰

Yves is a friendly, funny and responsive host. Villa Mango is full of charm with a super well appointed terrace. We rented for 2 couples the main house with 2 large bedrooms and each its bathroom. The garden is also well flowered , the howler monkeys, hummingbirds, agoutis have also made it home. A small path leads directly to the center of Cahuita ,it's nice not to take the car and you feel safe even late at night... Yves also provided us with very good restaurant addresses ( go taste the lobster at Rodrigo's) and outings, he also allowed us to postpone the checkout..You can trust him...

We had an excellent stay in this house, Yves is an excellent host, easy to communicate with him and I help us with recommendations of the area and flexibility at check-in and check-out. The house is just as in the photos, with beautiful outdoor spaces ideal for a family trip. We really enjoyed the outdoor kitchen. We hope to be back soon.

An excellent place! We saw many animals as congos and tepezcuintles and the perfect pool 👌🏻🫶🏻

Beautiful and lush garden and lovely pool. One morning there was a sloth up in the trees and the second morning a flock of monkeys. Nice outdoor kitchen where we cooked all the food. Especially good the evenings we bought fresh fish and seafood through Yves. Yves was really nice and helped us with everything we needed.

Yves was a perfect host! Almost feels like a friend. Helped us with everything We needed! Will for sure Home back!

The cabin is beautiful and surrounded by nature Ives is super friendly

Yves is super friendly, beautiful place. Highly recommended 🤩

A gorgeous place with a lot of tranquility and the host is an excellent person who is very attentive and helpful

What a beautiful oasis for our visit to Cahuita! Lush garden, outdoor kitchen, refreshing pool, and plenty of bedroom/bathroom space for our group of 9. We not only enjoyed the space itself but also the ease of walking into town, to the national park, and to the beaches. Yves was an amazing host. Friendly throughout, providing recommendations to help make our stay even better. A fantastic experience all around!

The Villa is very well equipped, extremely beautiful both the house and around, the area is very quiet and close to the cahuita park. Yves' treatment was excellent, very helpful and attentive. We loved it! 100% recommended 👌

The place is beautiful, lots of vegetation, birds, you can hear the congos.

Villa Mango is paradise, a beautiful house with a garden that looks like part of the jungle :) we were lucky enough to see monkeys inside the property, the house is super complete and has a very nice style. Yves is an excellent host who was always attentive and very quick to respond. Would love to come back ✨💖

Excellent place to enjoy with the family. Yves has a gem. Super recommended.

Great Villa for Entertaintment and get away

Villa Mango was a wonderful place to stay with our 4 families. The outdoor kitchen was a big hit with all. The thoughtful private space for each family and a perfect room for all the kids to bunk together. We absolutely loved the porch on the main house, a beautiful place to sit, sip coffee and plan our day. As well as the perfect location to end our evening. The fans throughout kept it cool, ac was not missed. We all throughly enjoyed the pool. It was everything and more. Yves was the best host, so accommodating & helpful. He drove us to Puerto Viejo to pick up our rental cars, purchased groceries so we were prepared the morning after our early morning arrival and greeted us upon our 1am arrival. He truly made Villa Mango a special place. We would definitely stay again. It was also a very short walk to town to the National Park & restaurants.

The garden had fabulous wildlife. We saw howler and capuchin monkeys almost on the veranda! Also lots of geckos and agouti plus the resident cats. Both indoor and outdoor kitchens are really well equipped and the pool great to cool off. Overall, we had a fabulous week!

We spent three delicious nights at Villa Mango. Spacious and neat rooms. A swimming pool at the perfect temperature in a garden of Eden with its omnipresent fauna. With a beautiful outdoor kitchen with the necessary. And especially our host Jean-Yves who received us in his beautiful property in the rules of the art. Discreet but available, good advice and good company for some Pura Vida anecdotes... We strongly recommend...

The place is amazing, quiet, comfortable and safe. Also Yves was always very attentive to our stay in case we required anything, he was extremely kind and helped us with very useful information about the place, he is really a very good host. One of the best places I've ever been. 100% recommended

Ives was a wonderful host! We absolutely loved the place! There were 7 of us (all adults) and we had plenty of room. We really enjoyed the outdoor eating area and pool. We were close to town and Black Beach. Ives was always available to help if we needed anything or had questions. I would definitely recommend staying here!!

Yves is a very nice and welcoming host. He makes you feel right at home and is always available to answer questions and assist you with every inquiry. The place is beautiful and very well maintained. We really enjoyed our stay and can recommend Villa Mango wholeheartedly to anyone who’s looking for an authentic Caribbean experience!

Yves beautiful home was great for myself and our extended family of 10. We were all comfortable in his tastefully decorated rooms. The landscaping was gorgeous. it was an easy walk to town. he had a lot of recommendations for local things to do. we would definitely recommend it to any other large group..

Excellent accommodation, very close to Cahuita and Puerto Viejo. The house is great, we were definitely comfortable. In full contact with nature, we saw the monkeys from the pool! Yves was attentive to us at all times to see if we needed anything and made several recommendations. Definitely and highly recommended!

My recent stay at Yves' incredible home in Cauhitua was an absolute dream come true! From the moment we arrived until the time we left, Yves went above and beyond to ensure our stay was nothing short of perfect. I can confidently say that Yves is not just a property owner but a true hospitality expert. First and foremost, Yves' warm and friendly nature made us feel instantly welcomed. During the check-in process, he took the time to give us a thorough tour of the property, explaining every detail with patience and enthusiasm. It was evident that he genuinely cared about our comfort and enjoyment throughout our stay. One of the highlights of our experience with Yves was his exceptional knowledge of the local area. He recommended the best places for everything we needed in Cauhitua. Whether it was the finest dining spots, hidden gems for shopping, or must-visit attractions, Yves had an extensive list of recommendations that catered to our specific preferences. Amazing stay!

Yves was the best host. He accommodated all of our requests, including a 1AM arrival. The property is perfect for families and younger kids.

Corner of heaven!!!! We stayed a family week with five kids, and it was amazing. First of all Yves is a Superhost, helped us all the time with any topic we just asked for, and a very quick response. The house is located in an excellent location with full privacy. The yard is very well maintained and very big and the pool is just perfect with outdoor kitchen. The house itself is very cozy with a balcony and hammocks- great fun. We can't wait to come back next time.

Being in Villa Mango is very nice, because of the surroundings (birds chirping, roaring monkeys from afar, overlaps with trees that provide fresh worries as well as close to the entrance of the national park). Maintaining privacy is always possible because of the very good layout of the different cabinas and main house of the villa. And last but not least, we have Ives: he is one of those people who are not easy to find. Very friendly and in has very good features a good and respectful communication: approachable, emphatic and social. We had spent very nice family days over Easter in Villa Mango. Thanks Ives again Muchísimas gracias Ives also from the side of my "Familia" and our German friends. We will come back😊

There are so many good things to say about Yves and our stay at Villa Mango. For a host, I can't imagine a better one than Yves. He was there for anything we needed and offered great recommendations. He is friendly and relaxed, and his love of living here is evident. The location is very private but close to the town and national park, a 25 minute walk to the most enjoyable swimming beach. The main house is beautiful with enough room for our party of 10 to enjoy meals together. There's also a lovely outdoor kitchen and grill. The 2 bedrooms in the main house are spacious and lovely. The 3 in the cottage are small and simple. The pool in the center is lovely, you can float among beautiful flowers and plants, and Yves keeps it meticulously clean. You must remember mosquito spray, but by keeping the bedroom doors closed all the time, we were never bothered while we slept. We would certainly love to stay here again.

Yves was great to work with and provided extraordinary accommodations to me and all my guests that I brought. He went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of and that was appreciated. Not to mention the place was amazing, the pool was refreshing and the outdoor grill/kitchen was a blast to use!

Absolutely amazing place and host. The best experience I have ever had.

Villa Mango is full of charm, close to beach and shops. Yves will give you a warm welcome and will be able to advise you. Don't miss out

Yves place is amazing! The gardens and pool are beautiful and walking distance to town. We saw lots of wildlife right in the yard! Yves is an incredible host, was willing to help book our shuttle to Cahuita from San Jose and also ordered take out for us upon arrival. Really above and beyond. Best Airbnb host I’ve ever had!

The stay was wonderful, it has a perfect location, very near to Cahuita center and different beaches. Yves place is lovely, spacious, and has everything you would need to have a nice stay. We had to work a couple of days and the connection was great. Overall it was a fantastic experience.

Yves place was totally fantastic and private. Such a beautiful house with lot of nice details to the living room and bedrooms. Each bedroom had it´s own theme. I stayed in the Chinese room with authentic Chinese furniture. Yves is also a great host, so friendly and helpful. We got to check in earlier too.

Wonderful stay at Yves’s villa. Our family of 8 adults really enjoyed our stay. Yves is a great host, very friendly and welcoming. He gave us very good recommendations for restaurants. The garden is superb, the pool is refreshing, the kitchen is very well equipped, rooms are beautiful and beds are comfortable. Every room has it’s bathroom, a luxury that we appreciated. It’s a 10 minutes walk to the little town and to Cahuita National park and a 25 minutes walk to the nice beach, playa Negra. If you have a car, you can park there no problem. Overall it was like a little paradise!

Vila Mango is a beautiful place to stay. The landscaping, the pool in the middle of the Vila, the hammocks… The vila is also walking distance from parque Cahuita, a short drive from the village and beach of Puerto Viejo, pinta Uva. Highly recommended!
