Lock in a great price for El Mangroove, Autograph Collection – rated 8.8 by recent guests!

to get started.

The setting is great, the location is superb. The styling of the hotel is trendy and gives you an instant feeling of luxury and happiness. We spend 3 days here, crowded in tye weekend during low season, much less people during the week.

beautiful setting; very relaxing atmosphere; friendly staff; very comfortable room and beds

Shelley, United States of America

Food was fantastic. Breakfast buffet was awesome. Close proximity of all facilities was a plus. TAM and Avis on site was a real plus too. We used both.

John, United States of America

Peaceful and scenic location for reading and relaxing. Good variety of local and Yankee food at breakfast buffet. Definitely worth getting the buffet!. All beaches are public. So the beachfront will be crowded on the weekend. We arrived on Sunday, so it was lively and festive. But then nice and quiet during the week. All activity centers around the large pool area. Great layout and not at all crowded while we were there. Its easy to find either sun or shade when you want it.

We stayed at El Mangroove the night before our flight home to Canada. It’s such a beautiful property and only about 25 mins from the airport. We wish we had stayed here longer! Playa Panama is also a beautiful and calm beach. Perfect for families with kids.

A little bit pricey for meals/drinks and stay per night without it being an all inclusive. Much cheaper to just eat and drink in town.
Everything about it was wonderful.

“3 days at El Mangroove during our tour in Costa Rica”

If you want a cappuccino at breakfast, you need to pay extra, which, seeing the room rate, should not be the case. The food at dinner was certainly not the best experience we had after 16 days in Costa Rica to be honest..

Spent 4 nights at this resort in July and it was a great stay! The beach views, calm ocean and ability to watch the sunset and lizards on the beach were highlights of the trip! The hotel restaurants Makoko and Matiss were exceptional, not only because every meal we enjoyed had a variety of options and was flavorful but also because the prices were so reasonable for an oceanfront resort! Room was spacious and modern with a closet. I'd imagine there's a bit more traffic during high seasons, but either way, we'll definitely be back! Highly recommended!

Would definitely rent a car next time- there resort is fantastic but if you want to explore the country (which I highly recommend) you need a car- the nearest town is 20 min away. Arrange tours in advance, especially if you are a single or a couple. Tours from the hotel require 4-6 people at a minimum and on short notice they often don't fill up
Great variety at breakfast- the rooms were delightful with a separate sunroom with a hammock that grave you a very restful place away from everything

In my opinion they should consider having a kids pool separate from the main pool, that way you can fully enjoy the golden sun with a frozen Margarita!

“Nice family or couples resort.”

The pool area is actually rather small, so was tough to get a chair in the afternoon. A cab to the airport ordered through the concierge was $50, which is almost certainly not the actual going rate for a metered cab in the area. Likely a much better value stay away from peak season/holidays.
The rooms are great - I liked the "outdoor" entryway with the hammock. They have beach bikes to borrow and a lot of activities (mostly for a fee). Service overall was friendly, and the food and drinks were good.
