Amazing location and out of this world sweeping ocean views. We had a room with 2 queen beds and great space on balcony to unwind. The breakfast was extremely yummy and staff were welcoming and helpful and very attentive. Pool was a comfortable depth and we love the fact it was open early (6am) and closed late. Would recommend to others .

The views from the room, restaurant, and pool were breathtaking! The room was immaculately clean & spacious.Sitting on the balcony listening to howler monkeys and seeing macaws fly over the ocean was unforgettable. The restaurant provided a delicious complimentary breakfast with fresh fruit, authentic dishes, and omelets made to order.

This hotel is amazing! Courteous and helpful staff greet you, including a resident cat. Breakfast is good with an outstanding view. Make sure to watch the sunset or the monkeys by the bar. Pool is a perfect place to cool off and relax. Restaurant serves fresh seafood and other offerings. The location is off the main road a bit so it is quiet yet accessible.

We had a beautiful time at the La Mariposa! The hotel is beautiful with orchids by the pool side and an occasional visit from the monkeys. The outdoor dining was fantastic and the drinks and food were incredible as well. It is nice to be so close to dining and shops and be able to walk.

one of our favorite hotels we've ever stayed at. Great location close to restaurants and a short drive to the beach. Can take cheap Ubers anywhere you want to go within Manuel Antonio/Quepos. The best view we've ever experienced at a hotel.

La Mariposa was a wonderful experience from my wife and I. The highest point looking out at the Pacific Ocean in Manuel Antonio. Stunning Views and vast wildlife. The view from the rooms was exceptional. Friendly and welcoming staff. The property has a swim up pool bar on the top floor that outlooks the ocean and an infinity pool on the lower floor. We loved every minute we spent and wish we had booked for more. I will be back to La mariposa every time I visit Manuel Antonio. Also the free breakfast was great and the restaurant dinner was to die for.
