one of our favorite hotels we've ever stayed at. Great location close to restaurants and a short drive to the beach. Can take cheap Ubers anywhere you want to go within Manuel Antonio/Quepos. The best view we've ever experienced at a hotel.

The view from La Mariposa is spectacular. When you stay here you can expect friendly and helpful staff, fabulous food (breakfast is included with your stay), and the occasional wildlife sighting. We were greeted each morning by curious monkeys and colorful birds, which added another dynamic to our stay that made it unforgettable.

We have an ocean view from our room which it was in last floor. The room was not as incredible as the price we paid for it...the room was basically furnished and no decoration or somethings to make you cozy. Bathroom doesn't have a ventilation but a very small windows so you get a lot vapors during a shower. Not great at all. Pretty disappointed. You pay for the view.
