Forbes Travel Guide today unveiled its annual Star Rating list, naming El Mangroove as a new Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star Recommended hotel. El Mangroove, an Autograph Collection Hotel, will be showcased with all of the Showbox Star Rating recipients on ForbesTravelGuide.com

El Mangroove is a boutique, lifestyle 85-suite hotel, just 20-minutes from Daniel Oduber International Airport in Liberia, the closest beachfront resort to an international airport in Costa Rica. Spanning for 17 acres, and embracing 150 meters of beach front, the property is naturally inspiring and wholesomely fresh and sexy. The hotel features a spa, a gym, and a 130ft pool flanked by 5 private cabanas. Also on-site, two Sensorial Gastronomy restaurants: Matiss and Makoko. The food reflects the beach front setting with fresh, creative and honest food, and a farm-to-table and ocean-to-table approach.

“Once more, El Mangroove is exemplified as a symbol of world-class luxury; an award parallel to our recent affiliation to the Autograph Collection by Marriott International portfolio”, said Jose Monge, General Manager of El Mangroove hotel. “We invite travelers to visit us and to see for themselves our personalized attention and exceptional service; it´s what we´ve been catering since day one.”

“Our Star Ratings recognize the finest hotels, restaurants and spas in the world. These ratings serve as the most authoritative guideposts for guests seeking exceptional travel experiences. Our primary mission is to contribute to excellence in hospitality, serving the global tourism industry as well as the guests,” said Gerard J. Inzerillo, Chief Executive Officer of Forbes Travel Guide. “We´re proud to be associated with the new additions to our global list.”
