We Paid /night

Including room rate, taxes and mandatory resort fees

What does ""We Paid"" mean?

Forbes Travel Guide performs independent, incognito inspections of all hotels we rate. This is what we paid when we stayed at this hotel.

Rates can vary widely by room type and season. "We Paid" is intended to give a general sense of price, but you might find considerably different rates for your trip.

When we book, we aim for the optimum season for the destination, but we avoid holidays and major public events, when prices are highest. We generally book a room at one category up from the most basic.

We take advantage of promotional rates, when possible. That means the rate you see above might have included other benefits, such as spa or meal credits.

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

We are the only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas and ocean cruise ships.

Here are five things to know about us:

1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.

2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.

3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.

4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.

5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

Our Inspector's Highlights

As a fully sustainable resort, El Mangroove follows a farm-to-table creed, featuring fresh, locally sourced foods and organic ingredients in all dining venues.
This stylish resort’s focal point is the 130-foot long fresh-water, black-tiled pool that faces the beach and is flanked by private cabanas and lounge chairs.
Hit the spa for some extra relaxation, but take advantage of your gorgeous surroundings by booking an outdoor massage amid the mangroves.
El Mangroove provides numerous ways to enjoy the outdoors, including beach yoga, snorkeling and paddleboarding.
Decked out with sofas and flat-screen TVs, the poolside cabanas offer private waiter service and mini massages.

The Rooms

This unique Central American boutique hotel blends modern design with its lush surroundings — it features 85 spacious suites boasting mangrove and ocean views from private oversized terraces with quirky suspended chairs.
Simple luxury seems to be the goal in the décor, which includes contemporary bohemian furnishings and regional artwork in rooms and throughout the resort.
Bathrooms are a real treat with airy walk-in showers and dual rain showerheads, but you may prefer bathing in the private outdoor shower instead.
The separate living spaces make rooms comfortable, especially for those who like to lounge in privacy.For an extra treat, splurge on a suite with an indoor/outdoor living room complete with a hammock and plunge pool.

The Restaurants

The menus are sprinkled with regional dishes crafted from a fusion of traditional recipes and a modern, updated presentation.
During the day, dine at Matiss, the hotel’s laid-back oceanfront beach eatery set on sand with an adjacent teak deck.
Matiss serves light fare, such as addictive fish tempura tacos dressed up with papaya relish, and a fruit-filled list of cocktails, smoothies and juices.
Makoko is a sexy indoor/outdoor restaurant serving contemporary dishes like confit duck ragout and hamachi curado.
