Awesome Hotel!
What a great little hotel! The staff at reception (Yorya, J-J, and Andrea) were super-friendly and helpful, providing information and booking me on 2 tours. The pool was lovely and I appreciated the shared kitchen. I loved the hammocks and hammock swings! It's a 2 min. walk to the spectacular beach, and watching the sunset was a highlight for me. It was definitely more difficult to get around as a solo traveller without a car, but I felt safe walking the beach and taking the water ferry to and from Tamarindo. I was not a fan of the hotel's restaurant (located at the sister location the Cantarana) when I ate there twice, but the two other nearby restaurants (1-3 min.walk) were quite yummy!

Our stay at this hotel was amazing. The entire staff were incredibly knowledgeable, professional and very quick to respond to all of our questions and needs. The hotel was very clean, comfortable and conveniently located steps from the beach. The hotel has its own clean private trail through the jungle leading straight to the sandy beach. One day we saw howler monkeys in the trees above us on the trail. We will be back to Hotel El Manglar for sure!
Rene, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Manglar was such a perfect quiet private town. If you enjoy separation from the hustle and bustle of Tamarindo, this spot is for you. The beach is amazing, and you can also take water taxis to Tamarindo which is fun and we really loved the staff!

Hotel El Manglar was the perfect spot for my friends and I. The staff is some of the kindest and most helpful staff I have encountered in my travels. Yorya checked us in and helped us plan a great sunset cruise as she was very knowledgeable about the area. She, along with all the others, was incredibly attentive and thorough. The facility is very nice, and the pool was relaxing. The hotel has its own beach entrance with a well set up sitting area. All of the bars and restaurants in the area were walking distance and the main strip of playa grande is a short drive. We will definitely be staying here again.

Great little place to stay with very friendly and helpful staff. Great food and great beaches nearby. Much better than being in Tamarido.
Shawn, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved our stay at Hotel El Manglar. It was a one minute walk to beach. The beach spot is heavenly and was never very busy during our 6 night stay. The extra amenities like the basketball court were an added bonus for our family. The staff was extremely kind and helpful. The pool is great and grounds are beautiful. Having a two bedroom was also nice for our family of four. The kitchen step up included a full sized refrigerator, stove top burners, toaster oven, microwave, regular coffee pot and a Cafe Britt coffee capsule machine. The Palm Beach Estates area is very walkable with lots of dining options. Our favorite dinner spot was Cafe Mar Azul next door. We also visited Tamarindo on Thursday night for the night market and had a great time.
