La Mariposa Hotel

Hotel Mariposa will forever have a special place in my heart after spending three of the loveliest days with my love there. If I returned to Costa Rica in the future, I would want to stay there again. First, the setting is absolutely stunning with one of the best locations in the Manuel Antonio area. You're surrounded by rain forest with ocean views. Our room was beautiful with a large balcony and a view even from our bed. The views from the dining area, bar and pool are also just as amazing. We ate dinner watching the sun set over the ocean and ate breakfast to monkeys frolicking nearby in the trees. There is a beach about a mile driving by 4x4 or walking that is away from the crowd with its own sloth in the trees. But there is a huge pool on the edge of the rain forest with ocean views as well as a bar pool. Second, the staff is incredible. From the front desk to the serving staff and bar, everyone was attentive and treated us with so much kindness. They were always accommodating to our needs and a special shout out to the cleaning staff and gardeners as the property is maintained impeccably with beautiful gardens and fresh flowers in vases in your room and everywhere. Third, Hotel Mariposa is a jewel in a beautiful country that I would happily visit again. The Costa Rican people are some of the warmest people I've met on my travels and their knowledge of the natural environment and enthusiasm to share about it was contagious. They truly live La Pura Vida!

Hotel had Excellent views. We had a brief issue wiith A/C, but staff was very responsive and it has resolved quickly.

The staff was very helpful at all times! We had a water emergency late night and they were quick to resolve the problem. The hotel grounds were beautiful; we were lucky to see a sloth beside the reception desk during our stay. You can’t go wrong staying at this property.

The Mariposa Hotel is one of my favorite hotels. Its proximity to the Central Valley and its beautiful ocean views make for a very pleasant stay. The staff is very friendly and the breakfast is good. Prices at the restaurant are similar to those at restaurants in Manuel Antonio. I will definitely return.
