“Amazing location and outlook and the sunsets are spectacular”
Location is great, the view from our room was amazing and the Sunsets were spectacular. Lots of wildlife around : Macaws, Monkies & Toucans. The swimming pool was really nice. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Shuttle to the beach is great and runs 4 times a day. The Hotel can also organise tours for the National Park etc. and provide a boxed breakfast if you're on a tour that starts early.

“A heavenly stay.”
The basics of quiet night, comfortable (very) bed, great shower meant the stunning views from the room were fully appreciated. ALL staff were exceptional. Great breakfast options. The pool area was heaven, shaded zones available all day and drinks / food available, again with great service. Having done a 7 day tour of Costa Rica we needed a 4 day down time and the Mariposa was the perfect solution.

“We spend a few very relaxing days there”
The location is superb, with views of the sunset over the Pacific if you get the right room. If not you can still see it from the restaurant. The room was big, the restaurant pretty good overall, maybe a little bit too expensive for the offer, but again you pay for the view. Breakfast was standard. Monkeys, sloths and agoutis on the property are a big plus in my view. We got proper coffee in the room, not the standard pods you get in the hotels. The hotel is about 10 minutes by car from Espadilla Beach and from the Manuel Antonio Park. Also about 10 minutes by car from Quepos - small town with a great marina.

“A breathtaking location, with a lovely friendly atmosphere.”
The view really is spectacular on the highest point with dreamy infinity pool (which wasn't even crowded) set in lush surroundings which comes with steepish climbs inside the hotel! I loved the plentiful cheeky monkeys jumping onto my balcony then back into the trees! Listening to the macaws and toucans made it a vibrant relaxing tropical escape. Even had a sloth outside the bar area. From arrival the staff, waiters and bar staff were really attentive,friendly and courteous..with a good knowledge of everything. Nothing was too much trouble. Food was delicious. Fantastic location and loved my end-terrace room which was very comfortable, with the glass balcony door boasting incredible views of the Ocean and being in the rainforest. It was wonderful to wake up to the sounds of the waves to the echoes of the howler monkeys.

“Relaxing Pura Vida short break”
Great views from the balcony out over the azure ocean. And facing the sun most of the day permitted some sunbathing while experiencing a mild breeze most of the day. We were too busy sightseeing and on the beach to use the pool.

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
