El Mangroove, Autograph Collection Hotel Pacific North Coast / Guanacaste

Perched in the stunning natural spot of Bahia de Papagayo, this fabulous hotel has a unique personality, set within a tropical forest surrounded by a pristine mangrove in Guanacaste, while neither interferes with another and seem too silently and perfectly support each other. At only 20 minutes from touch down to sand, it's the closest beach resort from International Airport Daniel Oduber Quirós. Perfect mixes of wood and water alongside contemporary linear architecture, bamboo, stone and natural furnishing makes evident that luxury here is simple. The light-filled suites feature bohemian-chic décor, offering a haven of tranquillity in which to completely loosen up at the end of the day. Visitors may indulge in savoury dishes served at the hotel restaurant, invigorate at the well-equipped gym, relax at the spa or swim in the large outdoor pool.
