Mango Drift is a great lodge in a beautiful setting. The private beach is like paradise and the water is crystal clear. The huts are simple but effective, and the shared bathroom is clean and the water hot. The food is good, and the night time dinners help to create a friendly atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and helpful and made my stay extra special.
