El Mangroove Autograph Collection

Beautiful property. Very clean and upscale. The pool had complimentary water, sunscreen, and bug spray. They brought you a different test (snack) every night! They gave us a king room for our anniversary although we had the Nesto. The hammock and sitting area was very nice! The room was beautiful. Comfortable bed. Channels that had English. Very large and innovative shower (panoramic view into sunroom). They care about your safety. We had local tour vendors pick us up at the gate. The guards nicely approached them and asked their information and where they were taking us and for how long. Then they asked our room number . They want to make sure they know you are safe and return safely. That is great!

No place to grab snacks or souvenirs. Very far from other things. The menu is great at Matiss but you will want to leave for other options by the second day. Makoko is too pricy for a place with no other nearby options.some servers charged the service charge (tip) while others did not do you have to check your bill so you don’t double tip. We made that mistake the first day paying $60 for two burgers and 2 fries, sparkling water, and smoothie. The travel agency onsite can’t promise adequate participation for tours resulting in you going nowhere. I suggest heading to Coco Beach to book with local vendors so you get what you want even if it’s a private tour for you!! I recommend Coco Beach Tours. We got to do Adventure Tours and Rio Celeste.

Lovely oasis

Beautifully appointed resort, lovely staff, great view of sunset from beach. Loved the smart architecture.

Problems getting Marriott points credits. A little more mellow than I wished it was, felt like we had to tiptoe in the evenings and the bar was not open outside of the restaurant. I would have enjoyed a little bit of music and conversation after dinner.
