El Mangroove Hotel: A Vibrant and Unique Experience
For some people, it's all about location, and El Mangroove Autograph Collection understands this like no other hotel does. After all, it's the closest beach resort to an international hotel in Costa Rica, the first resort you see in Playa Panama at the foot of the Papagayo Peninsula, only 20 minutes from the Guanacaste International Airport in nearby Liberia. As a result, it's possible to be off the plane, on the beach in less than an hour if you're staying at El Mangroove.
With views of the Pacific Ocean, world-class service, and a laid-back atmosphere, El Mangroove is a jewel in the crown of the exclusive Autograph Collection by Marriott. An Autograph Collection hotel, wherever it is in the world, seamlessly blends individual style and personality with the Marriott's taste for luxury to create a unique blend of boutique individuality and resort-style service. In short, El Mangroove combines boutique and resort together in a way that other hotels in Costa Rica do not.
Guests arriving at El Mangroove will immediately feel a modern, hip, bohemian vibe on the property. The hotel's name perfectly captures the feeling of the place, with a nod to the natural forest and mangroves surrounding it.
Boutique-Style Merges with Resort
El Mangroove is a small hotel as far as resorts go, with 85 suites in two-story buildings, neatly placed around the mangroves and hidden with lush plants. The design, impeccable service, numerous amenities, and beach access make it perfect for couples and families alike.
All rooms are designed to blend nature and simple luxury, highlighted by indoor/outdoor living spaces featuring natural elements, regional artwork, and subtle touches of color. And El Mangroove will help you out with some chill time, including flat-screen TVs, wifi, and more. You'll find all the amenities and luxuries associated with the Marriott brand in your room at El Mangroove.
Gourmet Dining
You don't have to go for the all-inclusive option at El Mangroove. However, if you're eating at either of the two El Mangroove restaurants, you might wish to opt for all-inclusive.
The all-inclusive package at El Mangroove includes three a-la-carte meals a day at either restaurant, snacks, and a selection of soft and alcoholic drinks. Room service is also included with an a-la-carte menu.
Makoko is an indoor/outdoor dining area with diverse a la carte menu options for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The menu provides Costa Rican favorites and flavors. Matiss, a casual beach bar restaurant, is perfect for snacks, salads, and lunch while sitting outside by the ocean. Both restaurants focus on a sustainable, farm-to-table approach with honest food.
On-Site Activities
And then there's the beach. El Mangroove sits just steps away from the coffee-colored sands of Playa Panama, where the calm waters of the Gulf of Papagayo wash ashore.
Guests can relax oceanside, enjoy swimming and paddling in the gulf, or get more active. Complimentary bikes and kayaks are available, and paddleboards are for rent (they have LED lights for paddling at night!) to explore the coastline.
El Mangroove can also arrange other adventure tours around Guanacaste, off-site boat, diving, snorkeling, or fishing tours for guests who want to explore. Closer to home, there's a relaxing spa at El Mangroove, famous for its couple's massages and other treatments.
The air-conditioned fitness center is also available for those who want to keep up their daily routine and exercise with views of the forest outside.
A highlight of life at El Mangroove is the hotel's pool area, with easy access straight to the beach.
The long, rectangular pool has unique black tiles that make it stand out with a super-hip elegance. A bar just steps away from the pool for cocktail lounging with style.
For added poolside privacy, cabanas are available to rent for the day. These cabanas come with shaded areas, four lounging chairs reserved just for your use, a TV, and waiter service.
El Mangroove is a family-friendly, all-inclusive hotel and features an area for kids with indoor and outdoor activities available. All children aged four and up are welcome, and babysitting services are offered for younger kids. The kids' club is open all day from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with a break for lunch between noon and 1:30 PM.
