La Mariposa Hotel - Manuel Antonio

We loved La Mariposa! The views are incredible, grounds and pool were very pretty, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. It is in a great location if you like a slightly challenging hike to the beach. It is also within walking distance (although the area is lacking in sidewalks) to many good restaurants, shops, local bus stop, grocery store, and a lovely nature reserve. The free breakfasts were wonderful. Restaurant is also very good, although a little pricey. The hotel front desk staff does a great job of booking tours for you, whatever your interests. We loved the zip line tour! They also offer a shuttle to the beach a few times a day. Finally, you have a great chance of seeing wildlife (monkeys, lizards, etc.) around the property. We would definitely come back!

Great hotel with a wonderful view, nice size rooms, great pool, wonderful breakfast, close to restaurants, have to take a shuttle to the beach.

great

Great resort very comfortable. Excellent staff. Incredible ocean views

This is a slightly older, but lovely hotel with an incomparable view and location. The room we had was spacious and pleasant, with two levels (bedroom and bathroom, and living and dining); a huge bathroom that had a garden alongside a its blue and white tiled shower; and an L-shaped balcony with a view of Manuel Antonio national park and the ocean. The pool level had an even more spectacular 180 degree view of the ocean. Breakfast was delicious. Service was adequate. The hotel is spotlessly clean with gorgeous gardens. Be prepared for steps.
