What guests think

Travellers describe Hotel La Mariposa as all about the panoramic ocean views and abundant wildlife, with friendly, helpful staff and relaxing pool areas making stays memorable, plus a convenient hilltop location near restaurants and Manuel Antonio National Park.

Breakfast and sunset dining with sweeping vistas earn frequent praise. Several reviews note dated or sparsely furnished rooms, very firm mattresses, spotty Wi‑Fi and TVs, and occasional maintenance issues such as elevator outages. Guests also mention steep walks to the beach (shuttle available), strict towel policies, inconsistent restaurant value, and occasional bugs. Expect stunning views and warm service, with some trade‑offs in room finish and convenience.

The hotel was nice, however, for the price we paid, it had a stringent pool towel policy, the balcony sliding glass door had a 3 inch gap that let bugs in, all around the property was under construction. Pool was not warm, spa was not hot.

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.

Stay a week and you won’t be disappointed. We only stayed for 2 nights and wish it was more. Free breakfast, friendly staff, clean rooms, tons of pools and spectacular views. Macaws, monkeys and toucans were seen on site. Breakfast and dinner were delicious. Free shuttle to and from beach. Everything was very clean.

This hotel definitely has the best views in Manuel Antonio. The sunset and the view of the ocean were absolutely gorgeous. I highly recommend eating dinner at the hotel restaurant during sunset. We were on the top floor with ocean view and it was stunning. The only issue was that the elevator would go up to our floor but it wouldn’t go down. We didn’t mind walking down the stairs but it was tough when we were going to check out and had to carry our luggage.

This hotel is beautiful with a stunning view, beautiful pool area, spacious rooms and excellent service. The restaurant was superb. A few notes: it is hard to walk to the beach. The hill is extremely steep and narrow with lots of cars. The shuttle runs a few times a day. There is no spa as listed on Expedia. The beach is crowded and there are lots of hawkers unless you walk to a quieter place some distance away. However, overall it was a wonderful stay and I would go back!

We have stayed in the area several times before, further down the road by Playa Biesanz, and remembered passing La Mariposa on our way to town, so this trip decided to give it a try. It’s conveniently located near shops and restaurants but is still quiet enough to have plenty of wildlife on the property. We saw not one but TWO sloths on the property, and both Capuchin and Squirrel Monkeys, not to mention the adorable Agouti that played near our patio. Then there are the birds…. So many! The room was a little weird with the bathroom sink quite a distance away in the living room, but this gave room for a bidet in the bathroom and for that I say THANK YOU! Also we almost died slipping on the bathroom floor but they provided a second towel and that issue was resolved. The bed, and the red lights by the bed were really nice. We had a lot of privacy off our patio so we slept with the curtains open and enjoyed the 5AM wake up calls of the Macaws and spent a lot of time enjoying the view. Our room was down a flight of stairs, and we had a few tent making bats surprise us at night. This is not a complaint….we loved it! The pools are all amazing with incredible sunset views and comfy chairs. We enjoyed the drinks the staff made for us and watched a sunset from the swim up bar one night. We had dinner twice at the hotel. Both times the food and the service were premium. The octopus appetizer is excellent! During dinner we had a 2-Toed Sloth make its way by even.

The hotel offers the best views in town and boasts a beautiful pool along with well-maintained property grounds. However, the building is quite old, and the rooms feel more like hospital rooms than cozy accommodations. It would be a nice touch if bottled water were provided in the room and if wine glasses were available instead of paper cups. Additionally, the bathroom lacked shower gel and hair conditioner, and the towels were stained. Lastly, we had the worst dinner of our 10-day trip to Costa Rica at their restaurant.

This was the most expensive hotel we stayed at during our trip, and was the least impressive. Other than the view, not sure why a basic room, that’s dirty with dead bugs would cost $550/night. Breakfast was marginal at best.

Unfortunately the young man who took us to our room, was probably new and overloaded the elevator and broke it. The other staff rescued us quickly. There are iron spiral staircases, which we used the remainder of stay, being very careful because it was raining. Beautiful property with beautiful views. Close to Manuel Antonio national Park.

They did not give the room shown in the picture it was much smaller and only one window with a dark hall to walk into the room. 1st night was sleepless due to the amount of spiders and mosquitoes nested in the ceils above the beds. Which was not evident when we check into the room after waiting 3 hours for it to be cleaned. The sliding door did not close properly and when we returned to our room after 10 pm there was NO staff available to help us until the next morning. Next afternoon we asked maid to clean the ceiling and the bedding after cleaning the ceilings which she did.

The location and views make it worth it! I was disappointed that the room was so sparsely appointed. There was no where to sit other than on the bed even though the room was huge. I was also shocked that the bathroom was stocked with the bare minimum. One hand towel and two bath towels. We made a VIP reservation for the sunset dinner which required buying a bottle of wine. We were happy to do so but patrons than were not required to make the same investment continuously walked behind our table to take pictures while our food was being served. It would have been nice for the staff to discourage this rude behavior. Again, the views make up for a lot but a few elevated touches would improve the guest experience.

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.

We absolutely loved our time at La Mariposa. It was clean, conveniently located to great dining, quiet -- but by far our favorite was the view and the staff! The view is the most spectacular dining view we've ever seen. It's a wrap-around view of the mountains in the distance, the national park / rainforest to one side and the expanse of the pacific ocean. It's beautiful at both sunrise and sunset! Several restaurants in the area having stunning views of the ocean but absolutely none compare to La Mariposa and its onsite restaurant Le Papillon. It's truly jaw dropping. The pool and sunset bar share the view as well. The staff were incredibly gracious, kind and accommodating. Alan at the front desk is an absolute gem of a person -- we adored him and he took excellent care of us. My wife and daughters also loved the resident cat Marina who the hotel has kindly adopted. We were greeted by monkeys every morning when we walked out our door -- they always visit early in the morning and my daughters had the best time poking their heads out each morning and seeing the monkeys racing around -- some with babies on their backs. A sloth took up residence in a beautiful almond tree that the kids would go visit each morning at breakfast. We would stay here again in an instant.

I really enjoyed the property. Be careful when you order anything at the hotel charged to your room. I left the required $200 room deposit. As i ordered drinks, which was usually just one Coke Zero, at the bar or restaurant a ALWAYS gave a large tip in cash, 5000 or 10000 colones on one COKE. I like to get good service and recognize the service staff. The actual Coke was charged to my room which i was told to put down my name and Room number. At the end of my stay I had 8 or so $6 tips added to my bill. The Front desk said i wrote my Room Number in the spot where the TIP goes and there was nothing they can do. I explained that i always tip in cash as a courtesy to the Staff to get their tips in cash. The front desk would not do anything. The amount of money is not the issue, it is the principle, what if i was in room 25 or room 50???? It would have taken the hotel to go to any of the wait staff and ask if I tipped in Cash. They would know. I tip very well, excessive and they would know me. Additionally, they wait staff excepted my cash tip and saw I wrote down my room number NOT a tip, but said nothing to me. I told the Front Desk, if i come back, i will not tip anyone anything.

Nuestra llegada al hotel fue antes del check in y queríamos aprovechar el tiempo al máximo, cuando nos acercamos a la recepción para solicitar informes de los tours que podíamos hacer a esa hora, el personal era muy tajante en que necesitaba que estuviéramos todos los huéspedes para dar cualquier tipo de información. Ya que revisaron que efectivamente teníamos reservación con ellos, le insistimos en que solo necesitábamos informes de los tours para aprovechar el día y para cualquier pregunta que le hiciéramos quería que estuviéramos todos que por que el “no iba a repetir las instrucciones más de una vez” (literalmente nos dijo así) de una manera muy grosera. Después nos atendió Luis y fue muy amable y servicial, salvando nuestra estancia en ese hotel que ya estábamos arrepentidos por el mal trato que habíamos recibido. Y por la noche nos atendió Alan quien se portó maravillosamente!!!!! La vista del restaurante es increíble!!!!! Lo único malo es que en la carta no había muchas opciones para personas vegetarianas (en nuestro viaje de 7 personas, 2 de ellas son vegetarianas), así que tuvimos que comer en un restaurante fuera del hotel.

We were very very happy with our stay and cannot wait to go back! I will warn, there are a lot of stairs on the property depending on where your room is and the property itself is up on a hill. This was fine for us because the views are worth it. We saw macaws, iguanas, and white faced monkeys all on the property. Not to mention, the most beautiful sunsets. The hotel is a short walk from a number of restaurants and they have a shuttle to and from the beach. We had a rental car and driving/parking was very easy.

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).

The views are breathtaking. Beds were super comfortable. Housekeeping did a great job every day and the breakfast was incredible- buffet style with lots of options. We ate dinner once at the restaurant on site and it was very expensive and the food wasn't that good, but again, the view is so amazing it was worth it. The walk to the beach could be brutal if you aren't used to walking up hill for 20 minutes straight, but you can also take your own car down the beach access road if it has decent clearance as the shuttle options are pretty limited. The beach is stunning.
