My wife and I stayed at the Mariposa B&B for two nights. The place is lovely and the family goes to great lengths to ensure you have a wonderful stay. Esteban even helped us find a mechanic & negotiate with our rental car company to get the repair paid for after our muffler fell apart! The toast is homemade bread... more

I really hope that everyone chooses this place when trying to decide upon Monteverde accomodations. This is a family owned bed and breakfast. The older son, Esteban, was more than helpful every step of the way. He helped us book tours and transportation prior to our stay. His mother makes THE BEST breakfast in the morning, which consists of fruit,... more

It was hard leaving the Mariposa ! The cabin we shared as a group of 4 exceeded our expectations with two bedrooms with baths, a lovely kitchen/dining area, a porch and even a washing machine. All this was located in a gorgeous Monteverde setting! Mariposa is located very close to the Monteverde preserve (indeed, about as close as you can... more

The Mariposa B&B is located on a really beautiful property very near the Cloud Forest Reserve. While you occasionally get a little noise (read: two-stroke motorcycle engines) from the street, it is generally a very peaceful and serene place to stay. We loved it! The room where we stayed was in a 4 (or 5?) room two-story structure set against... more

My cousin and I (2 girls) stayed at Mariposa Bed & Breakfast for 2 nights and it was absolutely wonderful. The B&B is owned and operated by the very nice Vargas family. Esteban is the main guy but the entire family is involved as well. The family is extremely sweet and they speak English very well. The rooms are very... more

My wife and I drove straight to the Mariposa B & B after our red eye flight into San Jose. My wife lived in Monteverde 9 years ago and the landscape had changed greatly with many new hotels, homes and development. At the Mariposa, it's evident the culture of Costa Rica and Monteverde is still alive. Our hosts were patient... more

We stayed at the Mariposa five years ago m/l. This was when they had four rooms only and just begun constuction of a second building. The accomodations at the time were pretty basic, but after all we came to see the Cloud Forest, not the holiday inn. (I would be curious to see their new facilities.) The food was absolutely... more

I can agree with all the other reviews, Mariposa B&B is a great family run place! Esteban was like a professional hotel manager: very friendlt\y, knowledgeable, professional and spoke excellent English. The location is great, only about 3 miles from the Monteverde reserve, and next to the Hotel Fonda Vela, which had excellent dinner (and a god bar with a... more

The 7 of us was very excited to actually be in the Cloud Forest! Wow, how can anyone come to Costa Rica and not stay in the Cloud Forest! The Mariposa B & B is somewhat a B & B, but not, let me explain. My aunt, uncle and husband and I stayed an actual treehouse, house. It was very... more
