While still staying at Puerto Escondido we took another side trip back down to Puerto Angel to check out a 'new' RV park that we had heard about and that wasn't in the Church RV book yet.
A view of Los Mangos
It's called Los Mangos and is quite nice. There's not a lot of RV spaces, maybe max 10 and although they offer electric, water and sewer, we were told that the electric isn't strong enough for A/C.
Some RVs at Los Mangos
It has some lovely landscaping and a nice pool. They are also building a small hotel and they already have a couple of villas and some regular rooms for rent, as well. They charge $100 pesos per person, so that's more than twice what we were paying in Puerto Escondido, so we weren't interested, even though it looked nice.
The pool at Los Mangos
The place were we stayed in Puerto Escondido was not fancy, but the strong electric and the $600 pesos per week price made it plenty good enough for us to stay for over about 6 weeks. Also, Roberto, the owner, was making many efforts to make improvements. He had asked me to give him some ideas, which, anybody who knows me knows that I will always do that! He had already cleared a lot of cluttered areas of branches and started to level some other areas. All towards organizing the electric, water and sewer hook-ups better. Also, he had the peeling cracked plaster scraped from the bathroom walls and started to re-paint them. However, he used a dark kelly green that really wasn't very nice and it was sort of a messy job with paint droppings on the floors that needed cleaning, etc. They needed a supervisor or something. Oh well, he's trying.
