Mango Dive & Bungalow

Several things stand out as why this was such a great week. First, the entire staff was friendly, courteous and very willing help any way possible. I was finding Gili T confusing and they were there to answer all my silly questions. I took advantage of the dive school to earn my Basic Diver certification. Diving was a little scary and my instructors both provided exactly the encouragement I needed to make it through each step of the process. Sebastian was my instructor day one. I really appreciated how he paid attention to both verbal and non-verbal indications that I needed reassurance. With his help, I quickly overcame the fear and was able to enjoy the training and the first dive. On the second day, Victor was exactly the right person for my training. The two instructors took the time to communicate my progress and what I needed to work on so that Day 2 progressed seamlessly. The entire experience was exhilarating and felt very safe because of the kindness and expertise of these instructors. Snorkeling was just a 2-minute walk from my room. I saw turtles every day along the shore between Mango and Turtle Point. Lastly, I was super happy that my standard room was quiet, nice air-conditioned and very comfortable. The unheated shower was not a problem as the weather provided all the heat I wanted.

Nice people who works there. But the breakfast was unfortunately poor. Not well cooked pancakes, unfresh fruits and old bread. I recommend this place for everyone but don’t take breakfast. The place is in front of the beach, there you find turtles. What i love that the place is near everything but you don’t hear the parties in your room.

Good accommodation with a brilliant vibe. We returned here after visiting 2 years ago and still love it. Very accommodating and friendly staff. Clean room with very cool outdoor bathroom. Right on the beach with private (free!) beach loungers and towels.

We had a perfect time when we’re taking our Advanced diving course. We had a really good teacher (Katharina), she was really good at teaching and we feel very safe by diving with her. She was calm and sweet. The dive club was a very comfortable to be at, and everybody was so open and sweet.

1st and best diving experience ever! I am a non-swimmer and I didn’t I would ever be able to do this! Fede was amazingly patient and made me feel safe. He promised and he did stay with me the whole time before, during and after the dive. I cried so much after, it was that incredible!

Had the best dive with Freddy. He was so so nice, calm and funny and very patient with explaining the dive site and equipment. We saw lots of sharks and turtles which was so awesome! Will definitely be back next time, I can highly recommend diving here!
