Review
Forbes ★★★★☆ 4-Star
Character and identity
El Mangroove sits on 17 acres of beachfront forest along Papagayo Bay, on Costa Rica's Pacific coast in Guanacaste province, with preserved mangroves wrapping the property. The design register is boutique and stylish rather than grand resort, anchored by a 130-foot black-tiled freshwater pool that faces the beach and is lined with private cabanas offering waiter service and mini massages. Two restaurants follow a farm-to-table approach with locally sourced and organic ingredients. The spa programme extends outdoors, with massages staged among the mangroves, and the service register is attentive without being formal.
Who's it for
Best for:
Design-minded couples, families and groups of friends who want a stylish, low-key Pacific Coast base with serious outdoor access. If you value beach yoga, snorkeling, paddleboarding and long pool days punctuated by cabana service and an outdoor spa treatment, the property delivers on its promise.
Should look elsewhere:
Travellers wanting a large resort with extensive dining choice should note there are only two restaurants on site. Those after a manicured, traditional luxury feel or a livelier scene may find the serene, mangrove-fringed setting too quiet.
Bottom line
The defining quality here is atmosphere: a stylish, sustainable boutique resort that trades scale for seclusion, with the pool, mangroves and Papagayo beach doing most of the work. Best suited to guests who plan to actually use the outdoor programme, snorkeling, paddleboarding, beach yoga, rather than hotel-hop for dinner. Book a suite with a private pool if the budget allows, and target the dry season for reliable sunsets.
