"Exactly like nothing else, El Mangroove, located off the Gulf of Papagayo, is a sustainable boutique, lifestyle resort that boasts a modern design which incorporates Costa Rica’s natural beauty through wood and water elements along with bamboo, stone and natural furnishings that merge all indoor and outdoor spaces. The hotel has 85 luxurious guest suites outfitted with every imaginable amenity, a pool stretching over 130 feet with sweeping views of the Gulf of Papagayo, live music and events in the evenings, on-site bicycles and a state of the art spa and fitness center that include outdoor “wild-fit” areas and multi-functional exercise decks.
Spanning across 17 acres, and situated on 150 meters of beach front, El Mangroove is just 20-minutes from Daniel Oduber International Airport in Liberia, making it the closest beachfront resort to an international airport in Costa Rica.
El Mangroove also features two unique and dining options on property. MAKOKO is the central restaurant located off the lobby serving breakfast and dinner with a farm-to-table and ocean-to-table inspired menu. MATISS is the oceanfront beach restaurant surrounded by sand on a teak deck with a laid-back atmosphere and a delicious Fresh, casual and contemporary menu."

"A casual, luxury, boutique hotel surrounded by forest, beach and mangrove. El Mangroove was awarded by Condé Nast Johansens 2016 Awards for Excellence in the “Best Waterside Hotel” category, and in 2015 as “Best Newcomer.” In 2015 the hotel also received a 4-star rating by Forbes Travel Guide 2015, as well as the highest ranking in the Certification for Sustainable Tourism (CST). The 17 acres property embraces 150 meters of beachfront space, a 130 ft pool with 5 private cabanas, a spa, a gym, two on-site restaurants, and 85 bohemian-chic suites. Perfect mixes of wood and water, alongside contemporary linear architecture, natural furnishings and subtle splashes of color make it evident that true indulgence is actually found in simplicity. Guests can find paddle-boarding escapades, bicycles to explore the neighboring funky town, yoga sessions to reenergize, or kayaks to venture into the Gulf of Papagayo."
