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
Pura Vida at the El Mangroove
Wonderful location with open restaurant seating to take in the beautiful views. Staff was outstanding and extremely helpful. Kitchen staff consistently attentive to our special dietary needs. Concierge, Pablo, went above and beyond coordinating our stay and assuring us a restful and exhilarating vacation. Pablo was so very responsive to our suggestions, brought in two nights of live musicians as entertainment. It was truly enjoyable. Our suite was comfortable with terrace and swinging, cushioned chairs, allowing views of interesting birds and even an early morning chorus of howler monkeys passing by. The hotel is secluded but not far from town. We snorkeled at a nearby beach using equipment supplied free by the hotel. The concierge happily assisted us in choosing interesting excursions. Many choices for all types of nature lovers. Our package included a private sunset cruise. The boat captain knew just what to do to attract dolphins for our amusement. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and highly recommend this hotel and staff. Mil gracias, Pablo. You made our stay memorable.

Amazing staff
Antonio is an exceptional professional and an understanding and compassionate human being. He went above and beyond to help us get the Costa Rican experience we desired. We feel fortunate to have met him. Melanny was amazing, and had outstanding customer service.

Exceptional Service at El Mangroove, Thanks to Natalia
Our flight was canceled due to technical difficulties, and we came directly to El Mangroove. The hotel graciously provided a fantastic room for the four of us. Natalia at the front desk was exceptional—her positive attitude, welcoming smile, and attentiveness made us feel immediately at ease and truly cared for, even during our short stay. The hotel also offers a wonderful breakfast buffet and complimentary access to the steam room and kayaking, adding to the overall experience.
