A Brief History
Extending right out of a natural marsh of mangroves and into the ocean is a narrow strip of land that leads to what is now Mangrove Bay Hotel and Mangrove Bay Sushi Bar. The entire area, called Mangrove Bay, was a small project made possible through the vision of its owners, Kumer & Antonia Panuelo. They envisioned a small hotel business strongly rooted in idea of providing memorable experiences and simply the best that island hospitality can provide. Through their vision and the hard and tireless efforts of a group of local workers, the humble project became a success. This family-run business, affectionately referred to as a local gem, is highly frequented by both locals and tourists alike.
