We had an excellent time since we got to the property. Everybody was extremely friendly. We had an amazing time at their facilities. The pool was awesome. Staff was very attentive. Beers were extremely cold so we had an amazing time. I would highly recommend anybody looking for an amazing view to go and stay at this place. It’s very close to everything. You can literally walk to restaurants. They also have an extremely good restaurant at their. and stay at this place. It’s very close to everything. You can literally walk to restaurants.

For $630 a night, this hotel is honestly a huge disappointment. You’d expect at least basic amenities, No tea bags, no bottled or filtered water in the room—I had to order room service just to get tea, which is ridiculous at this price point. The bathroom setup was equally underwhelming. Instead of proper toiletries, they only provide an all-in-one bottle—no separate shampoo, conditioner, or body wash. It feels like you’re getting cheap 2 star motel amenities while paying Four Seasons prices. The service didn’t help either. The front desk staff was rude, and one older gentleman was unnecessarily sarcastic when I asked about the room view. When I confirmed it, he responded that “of course you won’t see the view, it’s dark outside ,and rolled his eyes on me as if that wasn’t obvious. Completely unprofessional. Even the pool system felt cheap—you have to exchange towels for pool cards like it’s a budget hotel. The pool itself was crowded, though I’ll admit it was nice, and the jacuzzi was decent as well. The view was amazing. Overall, not worth the money at all. Way overpriced for what you actually get. You are only paying for the view.

Amazing view. Great property.

Check before you go to make sure you do not get Room 5. The room booked is a "Corner Sunset Ocean View Room" and the rate was $498.60 a night prior to fees, for three days those were $220.98 for taxes and fees and $204.00 for an "extra guest" to have 3 people. The room is not on the side facing the sunset and another balcony adjacent to the room protrudes making the sunset visible in only one small area of the balcony at this time of year, at some other times of year it would not be visible. People standing on the other balcony also block the sunset. The balcony is also directly above the outdoor dining area and diners can see the balcony and into the room. The room also has no furniture other than the beds, not a single chair or loveseat. We also had to request a third chair for the balcony despite paying $204 for an "extra guest."

Beautiful place and amazing views with gardens and animals on site!

Really lovely hotel. Pool was great and staff were all very friendly. Amazing panoramic views and shout out to the fresh omelettes for breakfast! Would recommend :)

Beautiful view during breakfast

We had a beautiful time at the La Mariposa! The hotel is beautiful with orchids by the pool side and an occasional visit from the monkeys. The outdoor dining was fantastic and the drinks and food were incredible as well. It is nice to be so close to dining and shops and be able to walk.

PROS: beautiful resort grounds fabulous view from room nice breakfast buffett room good but not what I booked CONS: booked a king bed got 2 queens housekeeping forgot to bring face cloths, coffee filters, cups, coffee, at least one on a daily basis. no ice machines for guests no refrigerators in rooms no wake up calls available floor tiles in showers, very slippery, no hand rails or mats pool steps no hand rails anywhere screaming loud children everywhere anniversary dinner booked at hotel, one dinner came with tomatoe sauce and tomatoes that were not mentioned on menu, which I have an allergy to. They insisted I pay for it even though it was sent back immediately without one bite taken. Maitre d was very rude and ruined our anniversary.

Beautiful hotel, very friendly and helpful staff. Large rooms with comfy beds and very clean. Pool is kept clean for the fact its open 24hrs and the poolside is clean along with comfy sunbeds near the pool bar area. Food is great and not overly priced

Great location and they provide a shuttle to Espadilla (public) beach and Manuel Antonio National Park. Beachside bar cocktails are expensive, but they take making cocktails seriously. Staff are helpful. Only unclassy move is that at the breakfast buffet which is included in your stay, they bring you a check to sign for $0 hoping that you will add a tip, which is silly since the only table service provided is pouring you water. Based off of this we decided not to eat any meals at the restaurant, but there are lots of good options within a 10 minute walk from the hotel. We had an ocean garden room which was spacious with a beautiful view and balcony. The property is gorgeous and you cannot beat the location.

Sunset view was amazing

Beautiful location! The servers at the restaurant during breakfast are great! The restaurant alone wins heart as is insane view of the ocean and sunset

Amazing property

one of our favorite hotels we've ever stayed at. Great location close to restaurants and a short drive to the beach. Can take cheap Ubers anywhere you want to go within Manuel Antonio/Quepos. The best view we've ever experienced at a hotel.

Excellent property, clean room, staff were so kind and helpful, ocean view room overlooking national park. Wonderful vacation all around! Thank you, Mariposa!

We have an ocean view from our room which it was in last floor. The room was not as incredible as the price we paid for it...the room was basically furnished and no decoration or somethings to make you cozy. Bathroom doesn't have a ventilation but a very small windows so you get a lot vapors during a shower. Not great at all. Pretty disappointed. You pay for the view.

The was absolutely beautiful and that is why you stay at La Mariposa. Breakfast was excellent. The room we had was an ocean view and while it is very, very big, the bathroom is similar to a prison cell. It’s black painted cinderblock with very low light. The only showerhead they have is a rain head so if you didn’t wanna wash your hair, you have to because there’s no way to keep it dry. The sink was out in the main area when you showered water pulled into your room the toilet and bidet were quite low and if you were tall at all, your knees are hitting the wall. The Desk staff was Fair at best The parking staff were hit or miss. We had one very, very wonderful guy who took care of us. We made a dinner reservation days in advance actually weeks in advance and when we went for our dinner, we were asked to wait in the bar area, which we did however, the manager or whoever was managing forgot about us. It was a birthday celebration for both my husband and I we had neither flowers on the table nor a light on the table, the dinner was excellent and was a bit overpriced compared to area restaurants. we stayed at the Shana in the past and that was by far better service. The room was much better appointed and much more comfortable. We were given three towels, a day, two bath towels, one hand towel and a floor towel so we ended up using our pool towel on the floor because water was coming out of the shower and was quite dangerous to walk on. There’s no closet so all of your stuff is out

Staff was kind, as almost all the Costa Rican people are. Hotel has stunning view and provides daily shuttle to beach. However, it's been 5 days since we left the hotel and the hotel administration has not yet returned our deposit. Not sure why they even held a deposit as no other hotels we've stayed at have done this. They've held 100,000 colones and we've talked to front desk staff, emailed them everyday since we left and still we haven't received our deposit back. It would be beneficial for more guests to ask them not to withhold our funds. There is really no reason why they would.

Very nice
