This Place is a Must!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/10/08
My family just got back from the Mambo and I can not get enough of it. I wish I could jump on a plane tomorrow and go back.
My thing that mostly made my trip was the Entertainment staff: Froggie, Salami, Bossy Boots, Lamar were my favourite. For people having to do the same routine everyday, work extremely long hours and not once look bored or ...

I have to say that the shows ...

The staff were all very friendly and welcoming and I was surprised to find that not only do they speak English, but also German and French as well as their native Spanish. I find this very impressive considering this is a ...
