PAPAGAYO BAY, Guanacaste, Costa Rica
Autograph Collection Hotels is further expanding across the Caribbean and Latin America with the addition of its second hotel in Costa Rica, El Mangroove, located off the Gulf of Papagayo.
El Mangroove is a sustainable boutique, lifestyle resort that boasts a modern design which incorporates Costa Rica’s natural beauty through wood and water elements along with bamboo, stone and natural furnishings that merge all indoor and outdoor spaces. The hotel has 85 luxurious guest suites, a pool stretching over 130 feet with views of the Gulf of Papagayo, live music and events in the evenings, on-site bicycles and a state-of-the-art spa and fitness center that includes outdoor “wild-fit” areas and multi-functional exercise decks.
Spanning across 17 acres, El Mangroove is just 20-minutes from Daniel Oduber International Airport in Liberia, making it the closest beachfront resort to an international airport in Costa Rica.
El Mangroove also features two innovative dining options on property. MAKOKO is the central restaurant located off the lobby serving breakfast and dinner with a farm-to-table and ocean-to-table inspired menu. MATISS is the oceanfront beach restaurant set on a teak deck with a fresh, casual and contemporary menu.
“We are proud to welcome El Mangroove to Autograph Collection Hotels and into our family of properties and brands across the Caribbean & Latin America,” said Tim Sheldon, president of the Caribbean & Latin America at Marriott International. “This year we welcomed our 100th property in the region, and I am certain that El Mangroove will bring a culturally rich perspective to the portfolio.”
Travelers can experience Papagayo Bay with the resort´s boats, and enjoy fishing or surfing trips, beach hopping excursions, sunset tours, or whale and dolphin expeditions. In addition, paddleboards, bicycles and kayaks are found on-site to explore the bay or the artsy neighboring town of El Coco.
El Mangroove’s exclusive meeting facilities are ideal for smaller and specialized group opportunities, with more than 3,000 square feet of functional meeting and event space, both indoors and out.
