What an amazing place!!!! My husband and i absolutely loved everything about this property from the friendliness of the staff, amazing drinks and bartenders, the gorgeous pool and views, the lush flora and fauna, its within walking distance to so many restaurants, and the abundance of wildlife. We saw so many monkeys on site which was wonderful given the park was closed because of the bad weather. We stayed in the sunrise ocean view room and loved waking up to that amazing view. My only complaint is we didn’t stay long enough. We will definitely stay here again when we return to CR.

The hotel was a gem! My friends and I stayed there for 4 days and it was such a great accommodation. The staff were professional and courteous. The hotel restaurant had wonderful food. It was a great hotel near so many different attractions.

The view at this hotels is absolutely stunning. It’s better in person than in pictures. The service was amazing and the staff was very nice. And there’s monkeys running around everywhere! I would definitely come back. The food was also very very good. And there’s many restaurants and bars and shops that are within walking distance.

The staff at La Mariposa were excellent. The grounds were (are) beautiful with breathtaking views. Especially of the monkeys and colorful birds. I highly recommend any room you can get with the ocean view and forest. I will be coming back again.

I like staying in nice places. Here is my one complaint before I tell you how amazing this place and trip was. I wish I had a table and chair in the room… it’s only downfall I could think of. Lol
LaMariposa was even beyond what I hoped it would be. Went with one of my best friends and we saw more wildlife on their property than anywhere. Sloths, 2 kinds of monkeys, beautiful flora and fauna. The view is the most beautiful view I’ve ever seen.
The staff…. Alan at the desk immediately found me a chiropractor as my herniated disc decided to act up. Louis and Oscar were wonderful, too.
Kendall my swim up bartender made the best pina colada and Diego, Mike, Gianfranco and Greg serving our delicious breakfasts were wonderful!
You will see bugs… maybe 1 or two in your room at a point in your visit( you are in the tropics). I live in New Orleans… doesn’t matter how clean or upscale a place is… you are going to see a big here and there. No big deal. Suck it up! It’s Costa Rica!
The infinity swim up bar, the pools, the grounds, the room, the town you just walk down a small hill too( beware though… take a bus or a taxi to beach if you can’t handle hills). We walked it and were fine but it’s a windy steep hill
Road going to beach. The people are lovely, the food delicious, shopping cute and fun.
If you can splurge get one of the rooms with a hot tub on its balcony.
I don’t know how anyone could find fault here. It was a dream vacation! Thank you!!!!!
