    Breakfast buffet was getting boring every day, but still pretty good.

    Best view in Manual Antonio. Clean, upgraded, infinity pool is warm and beautiful. Staff are friendly. No complaints. Worth spending a bit more.

    Rude receptionist on arrival told me I could not check in as he was prioritising customers who were checking out. Told me to come back in 1-2hrs to check in. Note that I had paid for this hotel in full, it was not cheap, I was simply trying to check in so I could leave my suitcases at reception and grab a drink or some food by the pool. In my whole life I have never been refused or turned away when trying to check into a hotel. I was shocked. After waiting 1-2hrs I returned to the receptionist only to be told that he was ‘busy’ sorting out some papers, and if I could come back in another hour. What a warm welcome? The room was noisy and lacked proper acoustic insulation, we could hear those above us walking around in their room which was noisy and uncomfortable.

    Great view from the room. Great pool. Great breakfast. Great lunch and dinner. Great staff at the dinner restaurant. Great location.

    The parking sucks, and you have to climb a steep driveway to get to the hotel front desk.

    Pretty pricey but overall worth it

    Beautiful grounds, large rooms, animals to see on the property, breakfast, staff, and not having to fight for space at the pool or the restaurant, plenty of room for everyone.

    The hotel had a bit less charm than other place we stayed in, maybe because it was bigger and the staff could be more welcoming I think. But is was still nice overall.

    Nice swimming pool with great view and sunset with lot of wildlife coming by, Capuchin monkeys, amazing Scarlet macaws. The room was spacious. The restaurant was delicious. There is a free shuttle to the beach that is very handy.

    Staying at Hotel La Mariposa was an unforgettable experience. The breathtaking views from the rooms left us in awe every morning. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, making us feel right at home. Additionally, the proximity to fantastic restaurants made dining out a breeze. Overall, I highly recommend Hotel La Mariposa for a wonderful getaway with unbeatable scenery and exceptional service.

    It is quite expensive and although it is stunning and comfortable the prices can be high for the level of facility

    The property is uniquely placed on a stunning location with a superb view over the manual Antonio beach. The rooms are clean , large and beautiful positioned to have amazing views and large balconies. We saw incredible Scarlett Macaws in the trees ; just amazing

    Nothing much to talk about.

    Excellent sunset views! The hotel is also close (walking distance) to some of the restaurant on main street, which was great. Kids had fun enjoying the pool. We also loved the breakfast options, w/ the live taco stall where we could try several veggie options.

    Our particular unit / room (2 beds for a family group of 3) was a bit awkward to manage (but not unmanageable). Other units / rooms would be more appropriate, surely; however, we booked late and we’re lucky to get a room!

    Location (on hilltop) was excellent and provided extraordinary views, cool breezes and easy access to both Manuel Antonio and Quepos. The individual units / rooms provide ample privacy and all have incredible views. Generally, the property is beautiful and very well kept. Amenities overall were excellent, and the professional and courteous staff brought the entire experience together perfectly.
