The hotel is a bit dates, but the views are amazing and there's a great pool. I thought the national park was over-rated. There were a lot of scammers posing as park guides and parking lot attendants. The beaches near Manuel Antonio are nice, but if you pay the $10 to tour the park, the beaches are way better inside.... more

My wife and I have recently returned from our yearly trip to Costa Rica where as a tradition we include the Mariposa Hotel as one of our most favorite destinations. For us, it is a return to the warmth and civility of the people at the hotel, the magnificient scenery and the tranquility that is often so very needed after... more

The nightmare is probably an understatement for the accurate description of this hotel. I have traveled around half of the world and I have never had worse experience than at La Mariposa. The hotel stuff was extremely rude and unfriendly. Thank God that my girlfriend was talking to them - otherwise, I would have lost it. We booked a double... more

My husband and I along with our one year old daughter and another couple and their one year stayed at Hotel La Mariposa for three nights in April. It was absoultely beautiful. First of all the view is breath-taking and the location of the hotel is truly in the heart of the national park area. We rented a car so... more

My family and I stayed 3 nights. We had a great time. Called for help with the AC remote and safe, requested a fridge and for cleanup of a broken glass. Each time, hotel staff were at our door in under 5 minutes. Front desk (especially Daniel) were so helpful with advice about restaurants, taxis, etc. Bumped into Yahaira the... more

We just spent 4 nights at the Hotel La Mariposa and left reluctantly. This is a great hotel which gave us all we were looking for and more. The headline item is clearly the hilltop location and 180+ panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean from the pool, restaurant and rooms alike. Sunsets, whales (if you are lucky) etc. WOW !!... more

I've stayed at the Mariposa a couple times, and my most recent trip in August didn't disappoint. The views from the rooms and restaurant are stunning. Watching the sunset at the pool bar is amazing every night. The staff has always been courteous and helpful during my stay. The hotel arranged to pick me up at the airport and they... more

I stayed at La Mariposa in March with my brother and boyfriend. We stayed in a garden room which did have a cool view of the Pacific from the balcony. The rooms in the hotel need serious updating. The AC barely worked and every 15 minutes produced a noise that sounded like rocks/pebbles rolling in the vent. We loved the... more

This hotel was one of the worst I have ever stayed at!!! I have traveled to many countries around the world and have not experienced anything like this before. Granted the views at the hotel are gorgeous and you could really enjoy your vacation if it wasnt for the rude and unprofessional staff. I traveled with a large group of... more
