Absolutely the best views in Quepos! Breakfast each morning was delicious. we looked forward to it each day. Eggs made to order, with fresh fruit. The rooms were nice and clean. We had an issue with our warm water in the shower but turns out we were dumb and didn't turn the knob the right way.. duh! The pool area is open and the staff are great. Very attentive and made great drinks. The location of the hotel was perfect! Off the main road so it was quiet.. but close enough to walk to restaurants and stores. I would definitely return and stay for longer. So much to see and do in this country. Well worth the $$!

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.

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.\"

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.

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.

We ended our two-week road trip through Costa Rica in Manuel Antonio, and choosing to stay at La Mariposa Hotel was absolutely the right decision. Amazing hotel, through and through.

The location is fantastic — close to several great restaurants, so we didn’t even need to drive to find good food. At the same time, being located in Quepos gave us easy access to beautiful beaches where we enjoyed different views, stunning sunsets, soft sand, and the relaxing sound of the waves.

It was the perfect place to unwind after two weeks of exploring. The atmosphere, the scenery, and the convenience made our final days in Costa Rica truly special.

We highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting Manuel Antonio. It’s the ideal combination of great location, beautiful surroundings, and a relaxing coastal vibe.

Our king suite was overlooking the ocean and Manuel Antonio national park!! The entire wall was a window! It was a million dollar view. I said I could have just sat on the balcony or in the bed looking out and enjoyed my experience!

The included bfast is amazing and the grounds are like being in the national park. We saw a baby sloth up close right by the bar and had monkeys on our balcony. Very friendly and helpful staff and clean and gorgeous hotel. Very close to wonderful food options. We drove an hour south to a beach with bigger waves, but this was still a perfect place to stay and jump off from. The front desk helped us schedule parasailing. Easy to park. Real gem.

Breakfast each morning was wonderful, and the staff were so lovely and accommodating throughout our stay. The property’s location is ideal, within walking distance to shops and restaurants.

The location and views make it worth it! I was disappointed that the room was so sparsely appointed. There was no where to sit other than on the bed even though the room was huge. I was also shocked that the bathroom was stocked with the bare minimum. One hand towel and two bath towels.

We made a VIP reservation for the sunset dinner which required buying a bottle of wine. We were happy to do so but patrons than were not required to make the same investment continuously walked behind our table to take pictures while our food was being served. It would have been nice for the staff to discourage this rude behavior.

Again, the views make up for a lot but a few elevated touches would improve the guest experience.

We have stayed in the area several times before, further down the road by Playa Biesanz, and remembered passing La Mariposa on our way to town, so this trip decided to give it a try. It’s conveniently located near shops and restaurants but is still quiet enough to have plenty of wildlife on the property. We saw not one but TWO sloths on the property, and both Capuchin and Squirrel Monkeys, not to mention the adorable Agouti that played near our patio. Then there are the birds…. So many!

The room was a little weird with the bathroom sink quite a distance away in the living room, but this gave room for a bidet in the bathroom and for that I say THANK YOU! Also we almost died slipping on the bathroom floor but they provided a second towel and that issue was resolved. The bed, and the red lights by the bed were really nice.

We had a lot of privacy off our patio so we slept with the curtains open and enjoyed the 5AM wake up calls of the Macaws and spent a lot of time enjoying the view. Our room was down a flight of stairs, and we had a few tent making bats surprise us at night. This is not a complaint….we loved it!

The pools are all amazing with incredible sunset views and comfy chairs. We enjoyed the drinks the staff made for us and watched a sunset from the swim up bar one night.

We had dinner twice at the hotel. Both times the food and the service were premium. The octopus appetizer is excellent! During dinner we had a 2-Toed Sloth make its way by even.

Room view cannot be beat! Overall the room is lacking, no robes or slippers. Minimal towels (2 bath, 1 hand). Extremely old mini fridge. Mediocre bath items (2 in 1 combo shampoo/conditioner if not great quality). Pool towels are literally the exact same as the bath towels, small, white and no extras as you get 1 towel per towel card. Pool was cold, spa was basically a kiddie pool, but at least was lukewarm. Breakfast buffet options were decent. Bartenders were great! Especially dealing with the monkeys! Dinner food very good!

The staff are exceptional and work extremely hard to make sure you enjoy your vacation. We were fortunate to have Alan, Oscar and David at the front desk and they bent over backwards to support any requests we had or provide good background on tours etc. The complimentary breakfast is really good. It is buffet style with a lot of options. The Papillion Restaurant for dinner and pool bar also serve really good food and drinks. The wait staff are extremely gracious.

We absolutely loved our time at La Mariposa. It was clean, conveniently located to great dining, quiet -- but by far our favorite was the view and the staff! The view is the most spectacular dining view we've ever seen. It's a wrap-around view of the mountains in the distance, the national park / rainforest to one side and the expanse of the pacific ocean. It's beautiful at both sunrise and sunset! Several restaurants in the area having stunning views of the ocean but absolutely none compare to La Mariposa and its onsite restaurant Le Papillon. It's truly jaw dropping. The pool and sunset bar share the view as well.

The staff were incredibly gracious, kind and accommodating. Alan at the front desk is an absolute gem of a person -- we adored him and he took excellent care of us. My wife and daughters also loved the resident cat Marina who the hotel has kindly adopted.

We were greeted by monkeys every morning when we walked out our door -- they always visit early in the morning and my daughters had the best time poking their heads out each morning and seeing the monkeys racing around -- some with babies on their backs.

A sloth took up residence in a beautiful almond tree that the kids would go visit each morning at breakfast.

We would stay here again in an instant.

They did not give the room shown in the picture it was much smaller and only one window with a dark hall to walk into the room. 1st night was sleepless due to the amount of spiders and mosquitoes nested in the ceils above the beds. Which was not evident when we check into the room after waiting 3 hours for it to be cleaned. The sliding door did not close properly and when we returned to our room after 10 pm there was NO staff available to help us until the next morning. Next afternoon we asked maid to clean the ceiling and the bedding after cleaning the ceilings which she did.

The view from our room was amazing, could not be beat. Bed was comfortable, bathroom had everything we needed. Pools were nice but could have been a touch warmer for our liking. Dinner, drinks and breakfast all very good but above all staff and service was exceptional. We look forward to staying there again.

The hotel was nice, however, for the price we paid, it had a stringent pool towel policy, the balcony sliding glass door had a 3 inch gap that let bugs in, all around the property was under construction. Pool was not warm, spa was not hot.

Great location

Amazing views from room. Hotel pool was great. Room was large and good location. Walking distance to bars and restaurants. Only downside is bathroom door doesn’t shut fully so you can hear everything

One of my favorite vacations! Costa Rica was my 24th country and it couldn’t have been a better trip. The property was amazing. Lots of wildlife and beautiful views, great staff. We will stay again.
