El Mangroove, Papagayo

El Mangroove is a laidback and stylish resort in the coveted Papagayo Bay, which as its name suggests, is surrounded by lush mangroves, tropical trees and the sounds of nature.

Just steps from the chocolate coloured beach and the idyllic Papagayo Bay, the hotel is only a 20-minute drive from the international airport of Liberia.

Guest can swim, kayak and snorkel directly from the beach, or organise boat trips to neighbouring beaches. Nearby attractions include the Santa Rosa National Park and the colourful town of El Choco, but there is plenty to keep guests entertained at the hotel, including the hotels’ centre piece – a huge lap pool, surrounded by sun loungers and private cabanas.    

There are 85 modern and stylish rooms, many of which are suitable for families and some of have ocean views. There are two restaurants for guests to choose from, but both offer a relaxed ambience and guests can enjoy both room and poolside service.

Yoga classes, a wild fitness circuit and 24-hour multifunctional gym are all available to guests and for those inspired by the ocean, stand-up paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing and even surfing can be organised. There are bikes available for guests too, which can be used to explore the nearby towns and beaches.

Open-air spa cabanas set amongst the mangroves and outdoor relaxation areas, make for the perfect place to switch off and relax at the start or end of a holiday.
