Excellent hotel. Located near shopping areas and the beach. Awesome vibe. Fantastic service. Great pool.

Completely surrounded by lush tropical forest, El Mangroove perfectly mixes wood and water elements with contemporary architecture and natural furnishings. The whimsical resort features 85 sleek units, two mouthwatering restaurants, a spa, a gym and a long, cabana-flanked swimming pool. Aside from carnal pursuits, the focus is on food and drink. A mix of ambiances and flavors, El Mangroove's dining experiences will entice all palates. There's casual dining throughout, with specialized restaurants including an oceanfront beach shack, and 24 hour private dining. You may also dine at the pool. Bearth Spa is a retreat that offers full-featured spa facilities. The serene atmosphere soothes the spirit and embraces natural treatments. The spa features outdoor terraces and massage decks, as well as exclusive products.

Ensconced between the Pagagayo Peninsula and the bustling Playa del Coco, Playa Panama offers a tranquil setting to swim, kayak, snorkel, paddleboard, bike, boat, and hike. It's also a great base to fly through trees and explore volcanoes. Golfers will be well served by the nearby Arnold Palmer signature golf course, and serious scuba divers shouldn’t miss a trip to the Bat Islands.

Located in the Gulf of Papagayo, at only 20 minutes from touch down to sand, it’s the closest resort to any international airport in Costa Rica. Spanning for 17 acres and embracing 150 meters of beach front, it’s also ideally located at only 15 minutes from the artsy and bustling town of El Coco.
