Beautiful views!!
Incredible experience!! The view from our room was breathtaking! Hands down the best view we’ve ever had at a hotel. Such a sweet little gem to stay at. We saw 8 scarlet macaws off of our balcony!

Stunning hotel!!
Had a great time at the hotel. You really don’t need to go to Manuel Antonio park as you can see macaus, parrots, humming birds,sloths, Tucans around the hotel it self. Beautiful sunrise and sunsets by the pool. One of the best hotels we stayed in. Will come back for sure. Great for families.

With over 50 years of traveling around the world Hotel Mariposa is right at the top. No wonder it's listed in the famous book 1,000 places to see before you die. I'm glad we did.

A fun vacation in Costa Rica
The La Mariposa Hotel was amazing. The staff was friendly, the food was delicious, and the view was fantastic. We were told we would only have a partial ocean view and were very pleased that we had a beautiful view. The cleaning staff did an excellent job and was very thorough.

Gorgeous views, but ...
Positives: the views, the views, the views! Breakfast selections and service were excellent. Loved that breakfast was included. Lunch and drink selections were great. Enjoyed the pools and location. Negatives: The furniture in our room was very uncomfortable...bed was extremely from and had a wide wooden frame around the mattress which made it difficult to get in and out, futon/couch was overly soft and hard to get out of, chairs both in the room and on the balcony were inexpensive plastic chairs and not what we expected for the cost. Towels were clean but well worn. One hand towel and no washcloths provided in room. Our garden view included a view of the roof and backyard of another residence...which was fine but the pictures were deceiving making it seem much more private.

This place was fantastic when it came
To the staff, view, dining option too. However, the bed in our room has to be the WORST mattress I've ever slept on.
We spent 4 nights here and honestly were ready to get out of there because of the bedding situation.
I'd highly recommend the hotel change out the mattresses because they are not comfortable, not remotely.
Otherwise the place is lovely
