I was in Boca Chica recently and stayed at the mango hotel, it is owned by a nice italian guy named mario , they have rooms there with a very nice pool and the surroundings around the pool are really nice during the day when the sun is out . they have a guy who speaks english ther , his name is John and he can help you with almost anything and every situation possible that can occur there . they have 24 hour service there for food and drinks which I especially liked . there rooms are as follows for 29.00 us you can get a room with cable and a fan and small refrigerator in your room for snaks and sandwiches etc. then for 34.00 you can get a similar room with air conditioning, then the efficency are better and have cooking facilties and are bigger in size and have two beds. they go I think for around 45.00 and 50 with air . I think you can negotiate with mario if he knows you , listen it might be a little more then say costa lunga but to me the pool area is much nicer although costa lungas is a little bigger , there never seems to be anyone there and they close the pool area early as the mango if your cool can take a little dip before you hit the sack
. anyway I think it is worth checking out . I mean there are a lot of differneces between the costa lunga and mango , both are great, mango also offers free to and from airport service for pickup and drop off
