I can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed staying here. The staff is super sweet and helpful and the grounds are well maintained and plenty of shade and places to relax when you need time out of the sun. We had everything we needed and the wave out front was never crowded, we never felt the need to travel elsewhere for surfing…love it! The area is very quiet and safe. If you want hustle and bustle it’s about a mile walk up the beach to the river, where you can take boat across and walk into Tamarindo, but only during the day - the boat doesn’t run after about 4pm so be mindful of the time! Thank you for a great experience!

Nice hotel but the roads were horrible to get there. We actually crossed 2 streams and very rocky conditions. The staff, especially the girls were so friendly and ready to help. There was no drawers to put our clothes. We lived out of the suitcases. We really liked the private assess to the beach which was like 500 feet away. Lost power a few times but came back on in 10 minutes. The restaurant adjacent to the hotel is excellent and very affordable. The food is delicious.

Many thanks for taking the time to share us your review Teresa!! We appreciate it! We are happy to know you enjoyed your stay with us! We are located in a National Park area, actually it's just 3 kilometres of not asphalt road, because as a protect area, the jobs that gets done on them are thinking about protecting the flora and fauna; probably you took a shortcut, no streams needs to be crossed in our area or surrounds. Thank you so much for mentioning our great staff! We hope to see you back in a not so far future! Pura Vida. Yorya and Manglar staff!

The property was very stylish and well laid out. The beach access was also very nice with keyless entry with a code. We did have an issue with very loud guests at the pool one day, but they settled them down. The hot water had to be fixed (brrrrr), but the staff was very helpful with meeting our needs. I enjoyed the time there although we couldn't get the tv to work for the whole trip. We really enjoyed the refreshing pool and pool-side lounging areas. The restaurants around the hotel were very good and walkable.

Good choice for a short stay
The staff at reception are warm and friendly. The room was a reasonable size but could have done with a little tlc. There wasn't really anywhere to hang or store clothes and the little ants ocassionally made their way onto the bed. The pool and grounds were pretty and it was a stone's throw from a gorgeous beach. We tried the 2 closest restaurants and both were good and had entertainment at the weekend.

Noisy accommodation
Good accommodation but not a ‘villa’ and quite a dark apartment. Primary problem was development noise (hammering / drilling) next door stopped us sitting outside or using the pool. Also the gardener was using a leaf blower whilst we were at the pool - too much noise - we had to leave the pool - give him a broom !!

Excellent grounds and location; no laundry chances
5 stars for location within walking distance to quiet beach (but swimming next to impossible because of big waves), walking distance to a few bars and restaurants, and beautiful grounds. 5 stars for nice, quiet a/c. 1 star for no reading lamps (1 meter away from the bed; bring your own itty-bitty light if you like to read). 1 star for having to walk 3 meters to the other side of the room to turn off lights before going to sleep! Duh! 1 star for only getting the room cleaned every other day, not even trash emptied or new toilet paper filled (in the tropics... yuck). 1 star for claiming to have a "bar," a "spa," and, worst of it all, "laundry facilities" with the latter being a guy you can call on What's App who never responded!!! It's the tropics. Its humid. You need your laundry done ever so often, even when traveling. We ended up taking ours to a neighboring hotel who helped us by doing our laundry for us for a modest price. Minus points for not having anywhere to hang the wet floor towel/rag, our swimsuits, etc. Others like us had to hang them outside the room on a common wall. A community clothes line or something like that would have been good as things cannot dry out inside rooms in Costa Rica because of the extreme humidity. I asked nicely at the hotel lobby for this and suggested them having a for-pay washing machine and a clothes line. I only got a lot of attitude and a message from the young lady that "when you travel, you sometimes have to do things d

Thank you David for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to hear your stay was not perfect. We are glad you liked our closeness to the beach, and you can swim, even more when its low tide. We do offer the laundry service but unfortunately were not available at the moment since we had to do others more laundry services that got first. We happily gave you a contact of a person that offers the service but he did not worked on Christmas, like a lot places also don't. We always gave you all the options you could choose to get the service, we are always happy to assist you! Hope you are still enjoying our country! Pura vida!

This is my second time at Hotel El manglar. Each time I've been sad to leave. It is a private and quiet small hotel that offered great service. The concierge desk will help you book any excursion or transportation. They helped us arrange surf lessons and a tour through the manglar forrest where we saw MONKEYS! Our time in costa rica was so Special but the service we experience here made it even better. I can't wait to visit again. only con is that the wifi service in the room wasn't as strong but who needs wifi on vacation? not me.
