About the Hotel
At only 20 minutes from touch-down to sand, El Mangroove is a contemporary boutique hotel with a unique personality. It contains 85 bohemian-chic suites surrounded by forest, beach and mangrove that are only steps away from the ocean. Large rooms, with seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces, create a comfortable and relaxing haven. The suites are situated within 3 two-story buildings, which are set in front of glass-like water mirrors and nestled amongst the mangrove. The two on-site restaurants Matiss and Makoko offer a combination of laid-back modern cuisine and sensorial gastronomy. Service is personalized and attentive; guests call it outstanding. The resort captures the simplistic yet exotic character of Costa Rica, with natural wood furnishings, regional artwork and contemporary stone finishes. The beautiful spa, fitness center and long, cabana-flanked swimming pool make up the perfect mix of indulgence and barefoot luxury.

Reviews for El Mangroove, Autograph Collection
Incredible Experience, Property, and Service
El Mangroove and the staff were fantastic. The property was immaculate and exactly what we needed for our 20th anniversary. All levels of service; the spa, restaurant, housekeeping and facilities maintenance, valets, and the hospitality team were first class. Special thanks to Pablo (Concierge Agent) for his exceptional attention and service to us. He and the team made our trip one we will always remember fondly. We look forward to being back in mangroves soon!

My favorite place to relax
This was our third visit to El Mangroove and will definitely come back again. Caesar was especially welcoming as we arrived and during our stay.

A lovely experience at El Mangroove
My husband and I just returned home from a week's stay at El Mangroove, and I'm ready to visit again! The property is beautiful, and the staff was friendly and more than helpful. Our room was very clean and comfortable. If you ever visit the Gulf of Papagayo, I highly recommend staying at El Mangroove! ¡Pura Vida!

Everyone is super friendly and respectful. The food was sooooo delicious. Must try guacamole with octopus, Maremoto ceviche, Seafood rice, rice noodles with shrimp. Breakfast was amazing too. Rooms are lovely and great decoration. We love the fact they respect nature in all ways. Ladies at the FD were very nice and their dresses very cute. Very different and fresh uniform.
