The Wooden Mongoose is very comfortable place to stay in the Maya Beach area. The living/kitchen/dining area is really large and allows plenty of room to gather or move around. The area is very quiet, with the buildings set back from the road, and the grounds are kept clean and raked. The beach and pool are just a few steps across the road, but close enough to enjoy. A warning to watch for wildlife. We had a boa slithering across the driveway one morning as we were leaving! It is, after all, not in a paved city. A vehicle is required as it is located in an area away from the airport and many of the local eating establishments. Overall, we found The Wooden Mongoose was a great value in Maya Beach area.
