The staff at reception are warm and friendly. The room was a reasonable size but could have done with a little tlc. There wasn't really anywhere to hang or store clothes and the little ants ocassionally made their way onto the bed. The pool and grounds were pretty and it was a stone's throw from a gorgeous beach. We tried the 2 closest restaurants and both were good and had entertainment at the weekend.

Good accommodation but not a ‘villa’ and quite a dark apartment. Primary problem was development noise (hammering / drilling) next door stopped us sitting outside or using the pool. Also the gardener was using a leaf blower whilst we were at the pool - too much noise - we had to leave the pool - give him a broom !!

Staff was friendly. The room was clean and well equipped. We had an overall nice experience. We found however that the price was a bit costly from what the hotel offers.

The area is beautiful with a natural beach. The hotel was in need of some TLC with a taped together shower, slightly dingy room and rats / ants. However the aircon worked well and the staff were helpful, finding a solution to our broken safe & booking us into a turtle tour.

This is my second time at Hotel El manglar. Each time I've been sad to leave. It is a private and quiet small hotel that offered great service. The concierge desk will help you book any excursion or transportation. They helped us arrange surf lessons and a tour through the manglar forrest where we saw MONKEYS! Our time in costa rica was so Special but the service we experience here made it even better. I can't wait to visit again. only con is that the wifi service in the room wasn't as strong but who needs wifi on vacation? not me.

This hotel is isolated and it takes us an hour from Tamarindo center The staff are nice especially Andrea and Mario from the restaurant but the rooms are ok on upstairs with no elevators or help offered The hotel should focus on the safety of the guest especially on the floors can be slippery on rainy days as my friend had slipped on the pool side and it’s so dangerous It’s an ok hotel hotel not very clean and too far from tamarindo beach where the action and the restaurants are I won’t recommend this hotel coz it’s too far and it’s so isolated

My stay at Hotel El Manglar was excellent. I stayed for 4 nights and I enjoyed every bit of it. Thanks to my boy Angel. He was so welcoming, caring, friendly and sweet. He was always readyand willing to help. My only draw back with the area was the roads. The roads going to and from the hotel are horrible.
