Very nice property for the most part. My room was nothing special but staff was great and breakfast great. Short stay. Highly recommend for layovers reasonably close to Liberia airport.
I had an amazing stay! The room was very clean, the staff knew exactly what they were doing and explained everything clearly, and the space just felt professional and peaceful. Definitely stood out to me.

Excellent attention to detail, wonderful staff, and superb location.
This was a top tier stay, we loved it here, and it was a very high quality resort. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a luxury stay near the Papagayo Pensinsula.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Birthday Stay at El Mangroove – Papagayo Peninsula, Costa Rica
I celebrated my birthday at El Mangroove Hotel in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, and it was absolutely outstanding! From start to finish, the experience exceeded every expectation.
The property is stunning — lush, modern, and perfectly designed for both relaxation and luxury. The staff went above and beyond to make me feel truly special throughout my stay. Every interaction was kind, attentive, and genuine.
The food was delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented at every meal. My room was spotless and elegant, cleaned thoroughly every day with attention to detail. The atmosphere across the resort was serene and inviting, ideal for unwinding and celebrating.
It was everything and more than I could have hoped for. I sincerely enjoyed my birthday trip and would highly recommend El Mangroove to anyone looking for an unforgettable stay in the Papagayo Peninsula.
Beautiful resort, food was amazing, people were friendly & eager to please, everyone spoke English. My only complaint is they charge Manhattan prices , which you don’t expect when visiting Costa Rica
Clean and somewhat attractive location, however, staff is not that great. Ssssllloow !!!
And remember to use bug spray on your legs when you get there… especially if you go for a walk on the beach or on lawn
I enjoyed my stay at the El Mangroove. The property was lovely and the staff was friendly, kind, attentive and helpful. Look forward to returning to CR in the future.
Nice property. Comfortable rooms and good food. Gym could be better but adequate for a basic workout. Everyone is very nice and service quite good. Like the access close to the airport.
