What Enjoy Group Costa Rica does

Enjoy Group Costa Rica is a privately held, family-founded hospitality and real estate development company that develops, owns, and operates hotels, resorts, restaurants, residences, and a marina across Costa Rica. Founded approximately in the early 1970s and headquartered in San José, the company has built a multi-property portfolio that includes El Mangroove, Royal Corin Thermal Water Spa and Resort, Punta Islita, Amaka Ocean Living Lodge, Marina Bahía Golfito, and Santa Lucia Jungle Hacienda, with several assets affiliated with Marriott International's Autograph Collection brand. The company also sells branded residential units at resort locations, including Mangroove Residences and the Santa Lucia residences.

The business is organized around three operational pillars: Management (hotel and restaurant operations), Development (real estate development for hospitality and mixed-use projects), and Procurement (strategic sourcing and supply chain management), supplemented by property administration services for third-party owners. Revenue is generated through four streams: hotel operations (rooms, F&B, spa, ancillary services), restaurant operations, real estate development and sales of residential units, and recurring property management fees. Distribution is direct to consumers through owned properties and through Marriott's global distribution and Bonvoy loyalty network for affiliated assets.

The company employs approximately 397 people, has no disclosed external funding, and is not publicly listed. Pricing for hotel stays, dining, and real estate units is quote-based and varies by property, season, and unit type; no public pricing is disclosed. The company maintains an active corporate website, a LinkedIn presence, and an Enjoy Rewards loyalty program intended to drive repeat visitation across the portfolio.
