We had a fantastic stay at Mariposa, the hotel that saved our trip to Manuel Antonio. We initially booked a smaller B&B closeby but were very disappointed with the rooms and service. Luckily, we randomly stopped into Mariposa for lunch and having seen the view decided to ask if they had vacancies. They did, at an excellent rate (well below... more

My husband and I stayed at the Mariposa the first part of this month and had a fabulous time. After reading some of the negative comments I just had to write about my own experience. When we arrived, we walked through reception and out onto the terrace. The view was absolutely breathtaking. Pictures cannot show the sensation one gets looking... more

I have never had worst service at a hotel, ever, and I have stayed at some pretty bottle of the barrel places. Every staff member was rude and literally went out of their way to make our stay worst. The views were absolutely spectacular. You could hear the howler monkeys from your balcony and the view were excellent. No sunset... more

My husband and I spent several days in the Manuel Antonio area, which is beautiful, unfortunately we stayed 2 nights at the Mariposa. The views are breathtaking, room awful, had to request assistance for all mechanical aspects of the room. A/C on the blitz, toilet overflowed, and what is it with the towels, do they think everyone is going to... more

The hotel is a bit dates, but the views are amazing and there's a great pool. I thought the national park was over-rated. There were a lot of scammers posing as park guides and parking lot attendants. The beaches near Manuel Antonio are nice, but if you pay the $10 to tour the park, the beaches are way better inside.... more

My wife and I have recently returned from our yearly trip to Costa Rica where as a tradition we include the Mariposa Hotel as one of our most favorite destinations. For us, it is a return to the warmth and civility of the people at the hotel, the magnificient scenery and the tranquility that is often so very needed after... more

The nightmare is probably an understatement for the accurate description of this hotel. I have traveled around half of the world and I have never had worse experience than at La Mariposa. The hotel stuff was extremely rude and unfriendly. Thank God that my girlfriend was talking to them - otherwise, I would have lost it. We booked a double... more

My husband and I along with our one year old daughter and another couple and their one year stayed at Hotel La Mariposa for three nights in April. It was absoultely beautiful. First of all the view is breath-taking and the location of the hotel is truly in the heart of the national park area. We rented a car so... more

My family and I stayed 3 nights. We had a great time. Called for help with the AC remote and safe, requested a fridge and for cleanup of a broken glass. Each time, hotel staff were at our door in under 5 minutes. Front desk (especially Daniel) were so helpful with advice about restaurants, taxis, etc. Bumped into Yahaira the... more

We just spent 4 nights at the Hotel La Mariposa and left reluctantly. This is a great hotel which gave us all we were looking for and more. The headline item is clearly the hilltop location and 180+ panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean from the pool, restaurant and rooms alike. Sunsets, whales (if you are lucky) etc. WOW !!... more
