    Excellent restaurant! We had a great breakfast with many options, but dinner was outstanding! We met Chef Bruno who whipped up the best ceviche we’ve ever had! This chef is a rock star! All the other dishes were also amazing! The service which is just as important as the food was great as well. Xavier. Joao and the manager Luis who we had a great conversation with were super attentive and helped make it a wonderful experience. We will be returning a few more time before we depart. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Great experience on property at El Mangroove. A variety of menu options including unique starters, entrees, desserts and cocktails. Can do either seafood or red meat or vegan if desired. We had the oysters, which were fresh and lovely plus a sashimi dish then ahi tuna and short rib dish. Nothing disappointed. Our service was timely and attestation. The chocolate souffle w French press coffee was the best way to cap it off.
