I have basically opted out of this 'discussion' because it is obvious that considering anything NOT 100% positive about Costa Bonita is not going to affect its defender in the slightest. But when I read the lines "Mangroves are usually moist, wet, and the consistency of the soil (and smell) could be confused with sewage" I had to wonder how much wine was being consumed on the balcony.
Mangroves - are comprised of salt-tolerant tree and other plant species from a range of plant families. They thrive in intertidal zones of sheltered tropical shores, islands, and estuaries. So yes, they are moist, wet. Probably mostly wet.
Here's a little reading on mangroves...you know, those funky looking plant things next to and in the water, before they are taken out to have a view...

While mangroves do catch and filter sediments, the smell, in my lifetime of living near and next to (and I currently and for the last 8 years live about as close to being surrounded by mangroves as anyone could who isn't on a boat IN the mangroves) them, I can say unequivocally that mangroves NEVER smell like sewage. When the tide is very low and it is very hot, they may smell like dried out fish nets, but that's another smell entirely. The smell described to me as recently as last Easter weekend by people who STAYED at CB (though this is never addressed by Alberto) was that of sewage.
I won't even address the "There is really no beach on the complex..."
because what was ain't there anymore. And what is there is no longer worth being called a beach...
