Why should you trust us?
The Swank Guide has partnered with Booking.com and Tripadvisor to provide easy booking links for the hotels we recommend. Why? Because it ensures we can get you the lowest price, and it helps us continue to bring you empowering and entertaining content.
This new booking feature does not signal a change in our total editorial independence or in our status as a fully fan-supported business. Simply put: we have no financial relationship with any hotel or experience we recommend. We do not accept bags of cash, Dodgers tickets, sacrificial animals or blushing flatteries. The only way to get recommended by Swank is if we've tried it, loved it and would recommend it to our family and friends.

Swank you!

Welcome to El Mangroove, your next potential escape in Costa Rica, just 30 minutes from Liberia’s International Airport, Costa Rica’s second international airport. This 120-room resort offers a mix of laid-back luxury and accessible beach vibes, though don’t expect any surfing thrills here. Perfect for those who prefer their vacations smooth and unruffled, with plenty of sun loungers to claim as your territory.
El Mangroove doesn’t skimp on dining options. With three distinct restaurants, you’ve got your all-day dining at MAKOKO, where Costa Rican meets international cuisine, and Matiss, the open-air bar and restaurant with a sand floor that screams “kick off your shoes and stay awhile”. For Mediterranean cravings, Malu serves up wood-fired pizzas, pastas, and fresh fish. If you’re feeling indulgent, the on-site spa offers a chance to unwind, and there’s even a gym to work off your hangover.
Who’s this place for? If you’re an adventure-seeker, you might find the beach a tad too tame, but luxury mavens and city slickers looking for a quick, easy escape will appreciate the convenience and comfort El Mangroove provides. It’s a solid option for families too, with its multiple pools and dining choices. So if you’re after a relaxed, hassle-free getaway with a hint of Costa Rican charm, El Mangroove might just be your slice of paradise; but it’s not very unique… a safe predictable hotel formula. But hey, we’re all about helping you make the best choice, so check out our video and see if this resort works for you.
