Very good location, close to the Manuel Antonio park, almost all rooms have sunrise or sunset view, great pool, spacious rooms. The breakfast was good, as well. Not too many options, but varied from one day to another. Also, the sunset restaurant and the sunset bar are a big attraction for everyone, especially that the restaurant also serves quite good food. Lot of wildlife within the hotel's garden - macaw parrots, monkeys, agouti, sloths and iguanas. They can help with booking tours and a free shuttle to the public beach is available for the quests. Friendly staff.

What can be approved - Definitely, the wifi. For the older rooms, the balcony doors are not well sealed so bugs/insects get through at night. You can solve this with bug spray or an anti-mosquito plug-in device. Additionally, something that might by annoying for the European guests (it was for us) - there is no mobile shower, only a fixed one.

beautiful location, amazing view, great infinity panoramic pool, excellent food. The hotel provides various interesting trips and activities, and a shuttle bus to the main beach is also convenient.

The hotel constantly plays loud music in the restaurant, at the bar next to the restaurant and at the pool bar, all the spaces are located next to each other and in many places in the restaurant, by the pool and in the garden different music from 3 places is mixed at the same time. The staff was notified about this, but they did not change anything. This is unnecessary noise... I would recommend playing the same music from one place, preferably quiet, so as not to disturb the guests who just want to relax or just chat with each other....

The hotel has a lush, well-maintained green area—it feels like you’re in a tropical jungle, surrounded by flowers and vibrant greenery. The view from the room is amazing, and huge parrots often fly by. The breakfast is great, with a stunning view of the bay

There was an issue with the payment process. For the first time, we encountered a situation where payment wasn’t processed automatically through Booking but instead required an external link. At first, we thought it might be a scam, especially after our card was declined five times. The hotel itself isn’t new, but everything is very clean. There’s no kettle in the room. The shower has only a rainfall showerhead, which was sometimes inconvenient if you didn’t want to get your head wet.

The hotel is located atop a hill, making a wonderful view of the Pacific Ocean. We have some of the most amazing sunset views ever. The breakfast was excellent (the atmosphere, the view, the food, and important to mention: the constant visits of monkeys to disturb the waiters and entertain the tourists). The Mediterranean architecture is beautiful and the oceanfront room was top!

Although the location brings a wonderful view, access to the beach is difficult (the hotel provides a shuttle to Espadilla beach on a timetable, with 4 different hours - to go - and 4 to return). The shower lacks water pressure.

Room was very large and clean, facing the gorgeous Manuel Antonio bay (which we could not enjoy much due to the weather, but that’s not the hotel fault). The hotel is in a unique position and the facility is beautiful, surrounded by nature and animals (a lot of monkeys in the morning) but to be honest we would have expected a little more attentive service given the price.

Breakfast is included but then if you want an espresso or a cappuccino you have to pay them separately, which for the price point of the hotel is ridiculous. Same with welcome drinks, which were non-alcoholic only (it’s a fruit juice, you can’t even choose what you want). They aim to be a fancy hotel but we believed the level of service was not high enough for the price point.

Excellent service in the room and in the restaurant. Very friendly environment. We were in the Premier Ocean Garden View Room, the room was spacious and bright, with a terrace to the garden, and excellent view to the ocean. Big relaxation area and enough open shelves for our staff. The breakfast was amazing.

We had a big shower in the bathroom, that was nice, but the room was dark and slippery floor. I didn't like that the sink was outside of the bathroom, located in the room. That was strange.

Everything! Spectacular panoramic view from 5th floor NW corner room (#11), helpful and kind staff, delicious food at Le Papillon the onsite restaurant, beautiful and comfortable pool area with food/bar service, entertainment from Capuchin monkeys, several gorgeous scarlet macaws that would fly by several times a day and occasionally roost in one of the trees on the property and even a sloth that hung out for a few days in a tree by the reception area! We absolutely loved it here!

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

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.

The view was incredible and the hotel was close to attractions we were interested in. I loved hearing the howler monkeys from my room and the grounds were absolutely stunning.

La Mariposa was not the best choice for a group of people. It seemed like most of the patrons were couples or families with little tolerance for fun loving friends. The hotel was pretty quiet around dark--which was 6:30 pm.

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.

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!
