エル マングルーブ パパガヨ、オートグラフ コレクション(El Mangroove, Autograph Collection)

Fabulous !! Beautiful hotel. Staff very accommodating! All as described plus there are lounges on the beach.

Very disappointing stay. If you are going to market a rundown and poorly maintained hotel as mid-level luxury, then it should at least be clean and well managed. Our room smelled terrible, had mold growing in the sink and shower, had dirty and stained surfaces throughout. Unfortunately, the same was true in all other areas of the resort as is evident in the photos. The pool was full of leaves and other debris and couldn't really be used. When someone did finally decide to clean something, it was a staff member using a leaf blower right next to the chairs we were using. We also got a nice wakeup call at 6:30am when someone decided it would be a good time to use a blower right outside our window. During our two-week journey across Costa Rica, our stay at the El Mangroove was the absolute low point. We ended up staying only a single day, but even that was too long. ** Since the lack of cleanliness kept us from eating at the hotel, we did find a nice little local restaurant (La Marina) about 15 minutes away by car. We would highly recommend if you're looking for a local experience.

The place is amazing. Excellent food, rooms are so comfortable and the pools are beautiful. Only problem…there was a huge wedding going on across from our room. The music was so loud until 10pm that is all you could hear at the restaurants, pools, and in our room. El Mangrove prides itself on Eco Friendless and the noise pollution was out of control. It would have been nice to get just a heads up about the wedding so we would know in advance and be prepared

Pros Staff was very nice. Very quiet place to stay. Maid service was very attentive to details Beautiful pool and beach area! Loved those Cons Its a minimum of 20 minutes driving from anywhere Our room had no hot water- they did fix it within the hour Our coffee pot wouldn’t work. They did fix it The coffee pot had old water with bugs floating in Our biggest issue was with *******. They advertised this as all inclusive. I had the screen shots of this. When we got there we were told it was not. We called ******* and said it was in the fine print. I asked what about the very large letters saying all inclusive. They said it wasn’t their problem. Don’t believe I can use ******* again

This is a top notch hotel and provides everything you need. Abundant pools, great food choices and a great staff. Highly recommend.

We paid nearly $500/night for a room with a view of a chain link fence and construction behind it, the room had a hint of sewer gas smell which was in the bedding, and they wouldn’t move us to another room. We ordered room service the first night and my wife got food poisoning and spent our three days at the hotel in the room very sick, and the staff responded to us with, “you should have told us of any allergies you had before ordering”, completely ignoring it was food poisoning from a margherita pizza! Huge disappoin**ent from a Marriot hotel and for ruining our 25th wedding anniversary trip and first time to Costa Rica. I’ll never stay at an AC Marriot hotel again.

We spent a week at the hotel in Papa***o. Overall the hotel state is not too bad, rooms are dark and oldish, needs some renovations. There’s no room with sea views, very surpising… Humidity problem inside the rooms, aircon needs to be upgraded. Food menu has to be redone, not tasty and overpriced for what you get. Overall disappointing…

We stayed here for a week as a family. Everything was exceptional. Despite construction in the neighboring area, there was no disruption. Staff was great. Location is excellent. A separate pool provided a nice escape for the adults and the kids didn’t want to leave the pool and play area all day.

The staff was awesome, all of them. The food was great and had options of three different restaurants. Would definitely recommend to go there!
