Comments: As LarryL noted , when it rains, the street in front of the Casa Mambo
becomes a lagoon.Fortunatly there was snorkaling gear provided for guests.We didn't have to walk  to the beach. My biggest concern was that we would have to pay more for beachfront property.
When my wife and I arrived at the Casa Mambo there was a work crew in front of the villa with a huge smoke billowing diesel truck vacuum device trying to suck the water out of Lagunita  Mambo. This concerned me because it was LOUD and the diesel fumes were awful,But once we walked through the front door all was forgiven.The workers failed in their mission and packed up their gear and went to get a cold one and brag about how they single-handedly did nothing.It didn't really matter because it was Monsoon season and Lagunita Mambo was not going away,But when we walked through the front door,like I said,all was forgiven.This place is a great bargain. I know the pool is small,but you have it all to yourself.The soothing waterfall is sooo nice at night, it will put you to sleep if the Tequila doesn't. For the price and privacy this place is a thumbs up.The In fact we've booked the Casa Mambo for Nov. 2003 for a week.

November of 2000.  It's OK.  The rooms are separate from the main living area, but all interior spaces have A/C.  The courtyard is beautiful, but the pool was too cold to use the week we were there.  It doesn't seem to get much sun.  The interior decor is all done by hand and quite striking.  

If it rains you'll instantly have Laguna Mambo right in front of the house.  Unfortunately for us it rained the first day, and the laguna stayed the rest of the week.  At its deepest point it was probably 2 feet.  

Also check out Villa Miranda.  We stayed there last November.  Good points are a larger pool with much more sunlight and a great rinse tank for gear.  The only major problem is also rain-related -- A good thunderstorm puts an inch of water in the downstairs common room, requiring much squeegeeing.
