El Mangroove, Autograph Collection

Beautiful Grounds and Architecture: The property is consistently praised for its aesthetic appeal, modern design, and tranquil atmosphere. The resort’s naturalistic vibe is highlighted as a key draw for guests seeking relaxation.

The hotel was nice if you enjoy looking at boats on the ocean. There were 2 public access on both sides of the resort which led to a busy beach. The staff were friendly and the room was clean, however, we felt like we were just at a beach resort. It didn’t feel like an authentic Costa Rica experience like our previous resort. The food was just okay. Do not order the flank steak.

We just returned from an incredible week at El Mangroove, Autograph Collection, and I can’t say enough about the outstanding experience we had. From the moment we arrived, the level of service was simply ESPECTACULAR. Every staff member was warm, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our stay special. A huge shoutout to Maria José and Valeria at the spa — their massages were absolutely phenomenal. Beyond their skill, their kindness and professionalism made us feel completely at ease. It was one of the most relaxing spa experiences we’ve ever had! We also loved spending time at the adults-only pool cabana area. The cabana space was peaceful, beautifully maintained, and the service there was impeccable. Whether it was drinks, towels, or just checking in to make sure we had everything we needed — the staff had it covered. And let’s talk about the breakfast... AMAZING! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. It was the perfect way to start each day. Honestly, the food and drinks throughout the resort were consistently excellent, both in quality and presentation. The entire atmosphere at El Mangroove is pure relaxation. Whether we were lounging by the pool, enjoying a spa treatment, or dining under the stars, we always felt cared for. It's the kind of place where you can truly unwind and let go of stress. We’re already dreaming about our next trip back. Thank you to everyone at El Mangroove for making our stay so memorable!
