Mango Lodge

My overall experience was above average. Excellent service. The facilities were excellent as well. I did enjoy the food as much as everyone else did..

The reception staff are lovely and very friendly. Goowan (incorrect spelling, sorry) was very attentive. The room was excellent, very clean and well furnished. The night staff and grounds caretakers are also very friendly and work hard keep the place clean and well manicured. The food the restaurant serve is very good, but the menu is limited. We ate in the restaurant almost every evening, as we didn't realise there was other restaurants close by until the end of trip. Klub Kembali is 500metre away and serves fantastic food, cocktails and wine. The breakfast is good too and cooked to order, but similar to the all day menu, which ends at 9pm. The staff finish at 10pm but they will let you sit in the restaurant to relax or play chess. The staff are friendly but sometimes it was difficult to place an order. Sometimes it felt like we were bothering them. Tipping didn't change this. We had some lovely chats with the young a gentleman who served us sometimes. A main reason why we booked this hotel was for the very long pool to swim lengths, (maybe just under 25metres) which was great. You have to pick your time though because the water would smell a little off, as the day went on. Also this is child friendly hotel and the children were well behaved. There was no fridge in room and there seemed to be shortage of ice. We needed ice to keep lotions to bathe severe surfing sunburn. They did supply us with ice bucket but I think we had the only ice bucket.
