We had a great time during our stay at the Mango Inn. We had spent the previous week staying on the beach in Castara, but moved up to Speyside to be closer to the good scuba diving. We were nervous about leaving for a place up in the hills, but we were pleasantly surprised. There is a great view overlooking the entire town of Speyside and the bay, and the trees surrounding the apartments allow for great birdwatching. Being up on the hillside also made the nights a bit cooler, and there were far fewer mosquitoes than down at sea level. The owners were very friendly and helpful, and even brought by some fresh bananas they picked in the morning.

A few things to keep in mind - there are windows you can keep shut, but due to the lack of air conditioning, you will probably want to keep them open. This allows the insects and geckos to come in the room. We didn't find this a problem at all. There weren't too many insects, and the geckos were very cute. In addition, the add an extra level of pest control! Also, there was no hot water in either the shower or the kitchen sink. This didn't bother us too much since we were there in the rainy season and usually were coming home from an excursion into the heat and humidity. The cold shower was surprisingly refreshing.
