A Culinary Journey at El Mangroove 

Gourmet Experiences 

At El Mangroove, fine dining is a sophisticated celebration of sustainability and the local flavors of Guanacaste and the Papagayo. With a commitment to farm-to-table and ocean-to-table traditions, our culinary offerings cater to every palate, from those who crave the simplicity of a perfectly grilled catch of the day to the comfort of a gourmet burger. 

Our dining experiences are anchored by two distinct beachfront restaurants: Makoko and Matiss. Makoko, located just off the lobby, is our fine dining venue where the farm-to-table philosophy shines. Open for breakfast and dinner, Makoko offers a refined buffet breakfast with omelets, fresh fruit, and pastries, while dinner features an international menu highlighting fresh seafood. For a more relaxed atmosphere, Matiss offers a casual, beachy setting by the pool, serving up tacos, ceviche, burgers, and pizza for lunch and dinner. Both restaurants invite you to indulge in the rich flavors and laid-back luxury that define El Mangroove.
