DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL. Horrible customer service! We had a family emergency and had to cancel/reschedule our vacation. We tried speaking to the hotel managers to explain our unfortunate ordeal where a member of our immediate family had become ill the day before we were expected to arrive and they showed absolutely no empathy and refused to allow us to rebook our vacation. The airline completely understood and gave us a refund, whereas La Mariposa Hotel refused even a credit to allow us to come in a few weeks or months. We tried speaking with ownership, who they claimed made this policy, but refused to put us in touch with them. Our kids are heartbroken. Why would anyone want to do business with such a cold and heartless establishment?!

I recently stayed at Hotel Mariosa, and it was a perfect experience from start to finish. The hotel itself is immaculate, with beautiful decor and comfortable accommodations. What truly made my stay exceptional was the outstanding service provided by Gregory at the Papillon restaurant. He went above and beyond to ensure every need was met, making me feel truly valued as a guest. His attention to detail and friendly demeanor made my dining experiences unforgettable. A special mention also goes to Dayana, who prepares the best omelets during breakfast. Her skill and dedication made each morning a delightful start to the day. I highly recommend Hotel Mariosa and especially commend Gregory at the Papillon restaurant and Dayana for making my stay so memorable.

Everything was great about this hotel, including what really seems to be the best view in the area. I did find the restaurant to be very overpriced for the quality of the food but I think you’re paying for the view. The pool was subpar for sure. The hot tub was the same same temperature as the pool. Overall the stay was really nice and the people were fantastic but I would definitely suggest them improving the pool for those days you might want to hang for a bit at the hotel.

Absolutely gorgeous setting on top of the hill overlooking Manuel Antonio park. Macaw flybys all day, toucan, and butterflies. 10 minutes to the park and good access to activities. Staff was very helpful and nice, even the grounds staff helped me to find birds as I am a photographer. Recommend one of the sunrise or sunset rooms. Thank you for a fantastic stay!

La Mariposa is staffed with helpful locals, who helped book amazing activities in Manuel Antonio area. Property is well located, and walkable to many shops and restaurants. It also offered a shuttle to the national park and beaches. The property sits at a high point in the area, and offers amazing views of the park and coastline. As its name suggests, there are abundant butterflies, and also flocks of macaws and other bird life. They breakfast buffet was good fuel to start active days. The property itself is a bit past its prime, and could use a refresh. There were other oddities that we typically don’t experience at properties at this price, such as having to swap a “towel coupon” for a towel at the pool, and having to pay for a welcome drink with alcohol (otherwise it’s a fruit juice).

Pros: million dollar views, size of the room. Cons: Everything else. There were no amenities in the room except for a small table, not even a chair. I had to get the plastic chairs from the balcony. Very basic coffee with crusted creamer, no water. The bathroom was bare bones and sad looking. The property was ill maintained dirt in the common areas and cobwebs in the elevator. The breakfast was sub par, had better breakfast at airport hotel which was one third in price. Lastly, the service was indifferent at the best. Our worst experience at Costa Rica.
