Dive Into an All-Inclusive Tropical Paradise in Guanacaste, Costa Rica for Five Days & Four Nights at El Mangroove, an Autograph Collection Hotel in a Bark Suite for Two (Land Only)

Welcome to Guanacaste, land of volcanic peaks, scenic waterfalls, hot springs and rich flora and fauna, where national parks, wildlife refuges, quaint villages, historic sites and a countless sum of golden beaches in the area provide a variety of activities for guests that seek an authentic Costa Rican experience. Located on the prestigious Gulf of Papagayo on the northern Pacific Coastline of Guanacaste, El Mangroove is the closest beach resort to an international airport within Costa Rica at just 20 minutes from touchdown to sand. El Mangroove takes you seamlessly from day to night, and from relaxation to energizing moments that inspire, with an ambiance and amenities that are meant for those young at heart.

Make your way to one of the most popular provinces in Costa Rica, Guanacaste, which has gained a name for itself as a tropical paradise with a pristine shoreline, beautiful mountain ranges and a number of volcanoes. Located in the far northwest corner of Costa Rica, Guanacaste's geographical features are diverse and exotic, drawing visitors to the long summer days, active culture and unparalleled wildlife. With endless options for recreation, there are countless reasons why locals and international visitors alike travel to Guanacaste, where the unique cultural notes are an after-effect of once being part of Nicaragua.

El Mangroove's all-inclusive plan is the best way to enjoy sensorial gastronomy all day, every day. The resort stands out for having a wide variety of different wines and premium liquors and multiple restaurants with a la carte menus. Sustainable comfort food with farm-to-table, or ocean-to-table, menus are a tradition in the making. A mix of ambiances and flavors, El Mangroove's dining experiences will entice all palates, from burger bashers to the appreciative catch of the day grillers. The restaurants beckon you to come in and stay awhile so you can chat, play, eat and engage with others.

When it comes to activities, there is no shortage of options at the resort and beyond! El Mangroove offers private and complimentary group yoga classes upon request and a multifunctional gym that is open 24 hours. If you are inspired by the ocean, take a stand up paddle session, rent a kayak and snorkel equipment, go fishing, surfing or simply go beach hopping. Relax, rejuvenate and restore at Bearth Spa, the tree-topped retreat that offers full-featured spa facilities, outdoor terraces and massage decks, exclusive products, and a serene atmosphere that soothes the spirit and embraces natural treatments. El Mangroove is just 15 minutes from the artsy and bustling town of El Coco, which has dozens of different restaurants and bars. Natural wonders such as Rincón de la Vieja Volcano and the iconic Río Celeste "a blue volcanic river" and thermal mineral pools are just a short drive away, too!
