La Mariposa was a wonderful experience from my wife and I. The highest point looking out at the Pacific Ocean in Manuel Antonio. Stunning Views and vast wildlife. The view from the rooms was exceptional. Friendly and welcoming staff. The property has a swim up pool bar on the top floor that outlooks the ocean and an infinity pool on the lower floor. We loved every minute we spent and wish we had booked for more. I will be back to La mariposa every time I visit Manuel Antonio. Also the free breakfast was great and the restaurant dinner was to die for.

The view we had in our room was mind boggling. We opened the curtains and just lost our minds. We didn’t want to leave the room. The breakfast made us feel like a king and queen. The staff were phenomenal.
My wife thought the shower could be better because it didn’t get too hot. I thought it was appropriate for the climate.
Getting around the town via foot or car was easy peasy. People are friendly and helpful. It felt like an easy going town.
Make sure to have small bills in USD and Cronies for tips for drivers, luggage folks, etc. I failed there and wish I hadn’t.
My only complaint was our room happened to be next to a machine that beeped 24/7. I travel enough I know how to deal with noise and lights so I can sleep, but given how much detail and beauty is in this hotel, I thought that was an oversight. The view though - I can’t go below 5 stars if I tried.

The room itself was extremely spacious, with a beautiful balcony view and comfortable bed. The property also has a great location, with several restaurants nearby, and the complimentary beach shuttle was a convenient bonus.
My main concern was that the room doors weren't fully sealed from the outdoors. There were noticeable gaps around both the glass balcony sliding doors and at the bottom of the main entrance door, which allowed insects to enter the room. Because of this, it was impossible to fully turn the lights on at night without attracting bugs inside (they came in regardless). While this may be expected to some degree in a tropical destination during rainy season, sealing around the doors could have significantly helped.
That said, the staff was friendly throughout our stay, and the property’s views and pool were definite highlights.

Where do I begin? Let’s start with, DO NOT STAY HERE. Room 63 was completely uninhabitable due to a severe, active pest infestation. As a direct result of this health and safety hazard, four adults were forced to crowd into a single room (room 62) for the entire 3 night stay.
Hotel management refused to issue a refund Upon arrival, we simply dropped off our suitcases and left the property for the day. We never used or slept in the room, and never opened the balcony doors. When we returned in the evening, the room was heavily infested with bugs. We tried calling front desk immediately that same night, no one answered. We even walked over to the front desk at night, no one was present. NO STAFF ON SITE at night is an immediate safety concern.
Hotel staff acknowledged the issue and offered to "deep clean" the room. We agreed and waited. However, when we went back to inspect the room after this supposed “cleaning” bugs were still crawling everywhere. This proves a deep-seated, active infestation that the hotel can’t just “deep clean”.
Front desk staff falsely claimed that we left the balcony doors open. This is completely untrue. The infestation was present immediately upon our return, and the failure of their own deep-cleaning process proves the issue was structural, not environmental or caused by us.
Hotel staff was rude, condescending and totally unprofessional: Hector and Manfried Arias.
AVOID THIS HOTEL AT ALL COSTS.
Rooms so outdated, dirty old. Nothing like pictures

La Mariposa is amazing! It is a beautiful! The food is wonderful. The pools are refreshing. There is a sloth and cat that live in the lobby. We saw lots of monkeys on the property. The staff was very helpful. We did the kayak tour of the Mangroves set up by the hotel for us. It was amazing and worth the education and fun! We highly recommend staying here!

La Mariposa was the best place I have ever stayed in Costa Rica. Not only is it a beautiful place, but it is like being in the middle of nature with all of its surprises. Being close to Manuel Antonio Park was a plus, but we got to see all of the wildlife at our hotel. You name it we saw it....Whitefaced, squirrel, howler, and spider monkeys. Slothes, macaws, butterflies galore.....
Everything is close by also. While the hotel was amazing, we took advantage of going to local restaurants, zip lining, ATV tour to the falls, mangrove tour with jesus lizards, more monkeys, baby crocs, bats and an education about the local environment and preservation.
Half day fishing trip to catch mahi-mahi, mackerel, and sail fish was the great. And we brought the fish back to the hotel where the chef cooked the fish three different ways and all were delicious.
We will definitely return!

The hotel is absolutely gorgeous. The staff is possibly the friendliest, most helpful staff I've ever come across. From the incredible views of the ocean from every angle of the hotel to the dining experience this hotel is 5 stars across the board.

We booked 4 nights at La Mariposa Hotel, but after staying only 1 night, we decided to leave because we were very disappointed with the hotel, the room condition (hair in the bathroom, no hot water and full of insects), and the overall maintenance. We tried several times to contact the hotel and explain our concerns, hoping they would at least try to help or compensate us for the 3 nights we didn’t stay, but nobody really handled our complaints properly. The staff and management were rude, dismissive, and not helpful at all. During one of the conversations, we were even told that they “know everybody in Costa Rica” and that we wouldn’t be able to find another hotel room, which made the situation feel very uncomfortable and unprofessional. Very disappointing experience overall.

The breakfast is very good and served in front of the sea. A very nice view.
The rooms in front of the sea had also a very nice view.
The room was clean and big. The bed was king with very good pillows.
Near the hotel had a lot of nice restaurants.

Where this property is situated makes the view of the ocean even better! The staff are nice and you just can’t match it with any other place. From having animal visitors like the monkeys or seeing the birds, it really is an incredible place. The only thing I would have to call out is in the evening at night there are these beatle/spider looking bugs and the rooms for some reason have an opening that they can easily enter. I was able to block them after spraying Lysol and covering the hole with tissues. I know it’s expected to have bugs around but that small gap on the bottom of the door is what threw us off. Other than that, the ocean view room was incredible and I can’t wait to go back with my family this time around!
