Guanacaste Hotels

"Excellent staff and view"

"Everything was clean. The food is not the best. Check in was terrible. So is the wife"

"This was such a peaceful vacation — the views were absolutely breathtaking! It’s a lovely local hotel with plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance. I booked an ocean-view room, and hearing the waves while watching the sunset each evening was truly magical. A quick note for future guests: the hotel is divided into two areas, though all part of the same property. If you book a pool view room (which overlooks the larger pool), it’s located across the street from the main entrance. That side features a beautiful pool surrounded by rooms, complete with a swim-up bar. You’ll just need to cross the street to reach the beach. If you choose a beach view room, you’ll be on the main entrance side of the hotel, which has a pool, a kiddie pool, direct beachfront access, and the main restaurant. Both sides are wonderful, and guests can enjoy the amenities of each no matter which side they stay on. The breakfast buffet was excellent — plenty of fresh options — and the pool stays open until 9 p.m., which was perfect for a relaxing evening swim. Overall, I had such a peaceful and enjoyable stay and would definitely come back!"

"This was a great vacation and all of the staff were very friendly. It’s a two hour drive from Liberia but is quieter than most all inclusive resorts which is what we were looking for. They had rotating restaurants to reserve for dinner with unique menus and made great drinks. "

"Clean and close to the airport"

"Amazing Vacation"

"Breakfast was ok but should have More bead and pasty options and if you want to appeal to Canadians/Americans you should have bacon available."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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. "
