This Marriott in Costa Rica Has a New Resort-Within-a-Resort  

By: Caitlin Sullivan - October 29, 2024

You’re in the heart of a Blue Zone, with your own private pool, surrounded by the wild, vibrant nature of Costa Rica. This is the pure vida you’re looking for. 

While Costa Rica has countless resorts, finding the right one for a unique getaway. You have to dig, to uncover the places that really stand out. 

That’s where El Mangroove comes in. It’s carved out a rarefied position as one of the country’s top resorts, and now it just got a little bit bigger. 

The 121-suite hotel, which is part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection, has added a new resort-within-a-resort concept called El Mangroove, Autograph Collection Residences. 

The new residences are set within the 17-acre property, with design by Garnier Arquitectos and Ronald Zürcher and a collection of three and four-bedroom villas with private pools, outdoor decks, barbed areas and state-of-the-art kitchens. 

Every villa is outfitted with locally-sourced furniture, expansive outdoor spaces and an indoor-outdoor concept. 

So what do they cost? 

If you’re booking between Jan. 3 and Aug. 12, 2025, rates start at $1,130 per night for a two-bedroom villa, $1,630 per night for a three-bedroom and $2,130 per night for the four-bedroom.
