Beach Hotels in Central Pacific Coast, Costa Rica

"Excellent location! Staff was very friendly and helpful. I had monkeys slide open our balcony door every morning to steal our sugar from the coffee bar- best wake up EVER! I’d stay there again solely to wake up to adorable monkeys :-)"

"Once you get past the front of the building, the grounds were gorgeous. "

"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."

"Everything was great! Wildlife, swimming pools, dining, walkable to beach, and great service. We plan to return and recommend this place."

"Amazing experience "

"Our room was nice, clean, and had everything we needed. Staff were friendly enough, José at the front desk was very nice and super helpful in answering our questions. All the Capuchin monkeys running around the resort was super fun! Only misses we had were that we wish the pool bar stayed open later and that there was a hot tub/thermal pool. There were shuttles to the different restaurants but a shuttle to the beach would have been nice since it’s a 10 min walk all uphill on the way back. "

"Felt so safe! Fully secure front gate, great view, comfy rooms"

"Magnificent property! Huge wrap around pool, waterfalls all around the property, beautifully landscaped grounds from the entrance and throughout. Several dining options including a huge breakfast buffet. Valet parking, spa, golf — all the amenities and top notch service. Would definitely stay there again. "

"I loved the cleanliness. Even the bathrooms by the pool were clean and well kept. The entire staff was very nice and accommodating. The included breakfast was also great. "
