Nicoya Peninsula Vacation Rentals

"Beautiful boutique hotel. Loved the pool and the beach. It wasn’t busy in early November. The bar services excellent cocktails with quality alcohol. Friendly staff. Loved the certified yoga instructor. More 8am classes would be awesome Cons-AC not working in gym. Increasing size of gym would be an asset. Terrible bathroom, designs a solid door would help. "

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Birthday Stay at El Mangroove – Papagayo Peninsula, Costa Rica I celebrated my birthday at El Mangroove Hotel in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, and it was absolutely outstanding! From start to finish, the experience exceeded every expectation. The property is stunning — lush, modern, and perfectly designed for both relaxation and luxury. The staff went above and beyond to make me feel truly special throughout my stay. Every interaction was kind, attentive, and genuine. The food was delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented at every meal. My room was spotless and elegant, cleaned thoroughly every day with attention to detail. The atmosphere across the resort was serene and inviting, ideal for unwinding and celebrating. It was everything and more than I could have hoped for. I sincerely enjoyed my birthday trip and would highly recommend El Mangroove to anyone looking for an unforgettable stay in the Papagayo Peninsula. "

"Everything stood out for me: All staff were incredibly happy and helpful. The property is a boutique hotel located on Playa Hermosa beach (perfect waves for kids without getting thrashed around). The rooms are meticulously kept, the pool is surrounded by lush tropical greenery with a troop of howler monkeys that call it home. This property is also perfect for those who require a levelled hotel with no inclines. It took 10 seconds to the pool, 10 seconds to reception & restaurant, and 10 seconds to the beach. This property is best for those looking to unwind and relax, even with kids. There is no swim up bar so it’s not suited for parties. The staff were happy to deliver food and drinks no matter where we were located. An absolute gem! "
