Accommodations

El Mangroove Papagayo offers 4 suite categories, including the Presidential Suite with a private en-suite pool and the Grand Canopy Suite with two balconies facing the beach. Each room includes a screened-in terrace with a hammock, allowing guests to relax while surrounded by tropical foliage. The design incorporates local materials and cultural elements, providing a distinct sense of place within a boutique setting.

Dining

Three on-site restaurants-Makoko, Matiss, and Malu-serve international cuisine with a focus on locally sourced ingredients. The breakfast buffet at Makoko offers a wide variety of Costa Rican specialties and an omelet station. Room service is available with touchless delivery options, and the hotel provides complimentary morning coffee tasting sessions.

Wellness & Spa

The on-site spa offers a full menu of treatments including body scrubs, facials, and couples massage in a serene setting with a steam room and relaxation pool. Guests have access to five swimming pools, including an adult-only lap pool with a black tile design that mimics a natural mangrove. Free yoga classes are held three mornings per week on a deck overlooking the gardens.

Activities & Water Sports

Two private tour boats are available exclusively for hotel guests, offering personalized snorkeling and beach-hopping excursions in the Gulf of Papagayo. Complimentary water sports include kayaks, paddleboards, and snorkel gear, plus bicycles for exploring the area. The hotel is located 20 minutes from Liberia airport and close to Santa Rosa National Park for hiking and wildlife viewing.
