Excellent hotel, perhaps the best you could find in the area. The room was exactly as described, breakfast and dinner were exceptional and the view from the restaurant terrace (and our room) was to die for! Very clean and beautiful property with beautiful landscape and views. A few scarlet macaws were flying around every morning and were a delight to observe. We would definitely stay here again.

Our stay at La Mariposa in Manuel Antonio was absolutely incredible! The views from our room were nothing short of astonishing—waking up to the ocean and ending the day with the most beautiful sunsets was pure magic. The property is surrounded by nature, and one of the highlights was seeing a pair of macaws that live on-site, adding to the already unforgettable experience. The hotel itself was beautiful, well-maintained, and had a peaceful atmosphere. The staff was warm and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. If you’re looking for a stunning escape with unbeatable views and wildlife right at your doorstep, this is the place to be. We can’t wait to come back!

This place was fantastic when it came To the staff, view, dining option too. However, the bed in our room has to be the WORST mattress I've ever slept on. We spent 4 nights here and honestly were ready to get out of there because of the bedding situation. I'd highly recommend the hotel change out the mattresses because they are not comfortable, not remotely. Otherwise the place is lovely

La Mariposa is a hidden gem and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone. Staff at the front desk and restaurant were wonderful. Views were amazing. Communication was good when they hosted a wedding onsite and the restaurant hours were limited, so that other plans could be made. The only issues for me were the mattresses were a bit stiff ( ultra firm) and our room was a bit of a hike with many uphill stairs to climb when coming to or from the hotel proper. We got plenty of exercise but it would have been good if they checked to see if this was an issue.

The views from hotel are just breathtaking. From the breakfast area to the pool or the rooms. I was lucky to experience wildlife as I was enjoying my breakfast and the severed even came to show me where a sloth was. Centrally located around stores and restaurants, they offer a shuttle service to the beach with schedule times. The hotel staff is excellent, they all make you feel welcome and happy to help. To the hotel itself my only complain is the beds are extremely firm ( too much) I did asked the front desk if they had more bedding options or a least a foam I could put on top. They tried their best with what they had on hand.
