El Mangroove is an absolute gem in Playa Panama, situated conveniently close to LIR airport while being tucked away in a stunning natural setting. The atmosphere is peaceful and the amenities are luxurious, making it a perfect spot for both relaxation and family fun. The staff is attentive and service is excellent, but the gym facilities could use some improvement. Overall, this place offers incredible value for a luxurious stay, especially for families.

I just returned from an amazing week at El Mangroove! The resort feels like a slice of paradise with its beautiful beach and five-star service. The included breakfast was fantastic, catering to everyone’s tastes. However, it’s a bit isolated, which can make finding activities a challenge without prior arrangements. Overall, it’s an ideal place for a relaxing getaway.
