ABOUT
The Setting
Imagine touching down at Liberia International Airport and within twenty minutes feeling golden sand between your toes. As they say, the journey is the destination, so now imagine you got there meandering through a land of volcanic peaks, rich flora and fauna, thermal mineral pools, wildlife refuges, quaint villages and National parks to find the mangrove clad coastline. This, in essence, is the authentic Costa Rican experience awaiting you at the five-star El Mangroove. Nestled on the northern Pacific coastline on the prestigious Gulf of Papagayo, this modern Kind Hotel is the perfect homebase for adventurers to enjoy rafting, hiking, scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, surfing or simply those seeking a tropical respite. Groovy, baby.
Sleep and Sanctuary
Grab a book, a tropical cocktail and swing with the ocean breezes from your private suite’s hammock. We could stop there, but we’ll continue to gush about the seven varieties of suites El Mangroove offers weary travelers expecting tropical comfort. Ranging from the cozy Bark Suite to the presidential-esque Mangle Suite, all suites boast outdoor spaces, separate living rooms, natural jungle-inspired furnishings, floor-to-ceiling glass (in some) and in the case of the Mangle, an outdoor whirlpool.
Eat. Pray. Eat.
A convivial blend of ambiance, conversations, and gastronomical sensations await diners at El Mangroove’s two separate eating outposts. Both casual in nature, Makoko is the main restaurant and welcomes you for honest food celebrating local farmers for breakfast and dinner.
Matiss mixes up a colorful palate of flavors and creativity in an oceanfront beach shack. Find sustainable comfort food with menus celebrating the farm and the sea in spaces that tip the hat to tropical refinement. 24-hour private dining is also available to satisfy those round the clock cravings.
