<h2>El Mangroove Hotel: A Vibrant and Unique Experience</h2>For some people, it's all about location, and El Mangroove Autograph Collection understands this like no other hotel does. After all, it's the closest beach resort to an international hotel in Costa Rica, the first resort you see in Playa Panama at the foot of the Papagayo Peninsula, only 20 minutes from the Guanacaste International Airport in nearby Liberia. As a result, it's possible to be off the plane, on the beach in less than an hour if you're staying at El Mangroove.With views of the Pacific Ocean, world-class service, and a laid-back atmosphere, El Mangroove is a jewel in the crown of the exclusive Autograph Collection by Marriott. An Autograph Collection hotel, wherever it is in the world, seamlessly blends individual style and personality with the Marriott's taste for luxury to create a unique blend of boutique individuality and resort-style service. In short, El Mangroove combines boutique and resort together in a way that other hotels in Costa Rica do not.Guests arriving at El Mangroove will immediately feel a modern, hip, bohemian vibe on the property. The hotel's name perfectly captures the feeling of the place, with a nod to the natural forest and mangroves surrounding it.&nbsp;<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1651030789/el_mangroove_king_bed_garden_view_suite_overview_playa_panama_3c700eb9e0.jpg" alt="el-mangroove-king-bed-garden-view-suite-overview-playa-panama.jpg" srcset="https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1651030789/thumbnail_el_mangroove_king_bed_garden_view_suite_overview_playa_panama_3c700eb9e0.jpg 245w,https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1651030791/small_el_mangroove_king_bed_garden_view_suite_overview_playa_panama_3c700eb9e0.jpg 500w,https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1651030791/medium_el_mangroove_king_bed_garden_view_suite_overview_playa_panama_3c700eb9e0.jpg 750w,https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1651030791/large_el_mangroove_king_bed_garden_view_suite_overview_playa_panama_3c700eb9e0.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw"><h3>Boutique-Style Merges with Resort</h3>El Mangroove is a small hotel as far as resorts go, with 85 suites in two-story buildings, neatly placed around the mangroves and hidden with lush plants.
