About us

Where man and mangrove meet with groovy inspiration, El Mangroove, Autograph Collection by Marriott brings a new stature of “hot and hip” to Guanacaste. Located in Bahia Papagayo, at only 20 minutes from touch down to sand, it’s the closest resort to any international airport in Costa Rica. Spanning for 17 acres and embracing 150 meters (492 feet) of beach front alongside Panama Beach it’s also ideally located at only 15 minutes from the artsy and bustling town of El Coco. A hotel surrounding a concept of barefoot luxury, it’s straight up laid-back and down-right cool! Perfect mixes of wood and water alongside contemporary linear architecture, natural furnishings and subtle splashes of color make it evident that true indulgence is actually found in simplicity.

Covert Cocktail Club
Covert Cocktail Club
multi-city
Once upon a time in 2016, Matt Levy, founder of Covert Cocktail Club, hosted a secret speakeasy as an intimate place for strangers to gather in his home. The only way to find out about it was via word of mouth. No address was given, the only clue being a sign placed in the window, “Cocktails Here”. A lot of people thought it was pretty cool, even before The New York Times wrote about it. But that was all pre-pandemic, and this is a new era. Liberated from the confines of a single location, Covert Cocktail Club now brings the speakeasy right to your door—be it at your home, office, bar mitzvah, dinner party, bachelor/ette party or anywhere you choose!
