Disliked: Staff & service
In general, hotel was ok, bathroom smells like mold, room was not very spacious. Half of tanning chairs stays reserved. Dinner is only available at one restaurant, very overpriced with small portions. We per-arrange transportation from the airport to the hotel. When we got to the airport no one met us, so we have to take a taxi, but as soon as we arrived we were told that we have to pay regardless. They claimed that driver was there but we just somehow didn't see him (at the video he recorded to prove he was there, no one else was around, however when we arrived there were many drivers there), they blamed us we didn't see him, didn't even apologize that we have to look for a taxi, and it was dark, no wifi, no phone service. The vibe at this hotel was all about money. I would not recommend this place.

Wouldn’t go back. Terrible food - a few other guests were sick from the Mediterranean spot (thank god for Haciendo Bleu 5 minutes away, ginger is great too). Drinks take at least 20 minutes. Unfriendly front desk staff (rest of the staff was nice and wanted to help but clearly work out of fear). It’s in a swamp, not the nicest areas around here. Bugs in all rooms. Weird vibes as half of this is an adults only resort and the other half is full families. The lighting (very dark and poorly pointed) and finishes are all junk as it’s falling apart (tile and decking were cutting many people in the pool). Strips of attitude that does go is pulling up like cheap carpet. I don’t know exactly how to put it in works other than a bad episode of the white lotus where you go to die. Luckily we made friends with a number of people staying and made the most of it but look around. It is not a Marriott grade resort,

Rundown and Dirty
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.

I am not in the wedding party
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 Expedia. 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 Expedia 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 Expedia again
