Location: Manuel Antonio 
Lodging Type: Hotel 
From: $260 / night La Mariposa Hotel is a boutique resort sitting on top one of the highest points in Manuel Antonio, offering some of the most spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean, Manuel Antonio National Park, and surrounding tropical rainforest. The hotel blends European-inspired architecture with Costa Rican charm, set amidst beautifully landscaped gardens and featuring legendary sunsets that are a highlight for many guests.
Stunning sunsets
The hotel is famous for its sunset vistas, visible from most rooms, the pool, and the restaurant.
Great pool
The infinity pool is a standout feature, offering a dramatic backdrop for relaxation and photos.
Award-winning service
Consistently recognized for exceptional hospitality and personalized attention, including the Travellers’ Choice award for being among the top 10% of hotels on major review sites,
Direct beachfront access
The hotel is not directly on the beach. It’s a short walk or drive down the hill to Playa Espadilla.
Large resort atmosphere
La Mariposa is a boutique property, so it lacks the extensive amenities of a large resort.
Ultra-modern design
While elegant and well-maintained, the style is classic rather than ultra-modern or trendy.

Our agent made our honeymoon stress-free and fun! She was available throughout, even when I felt unwell early in the trip. Her support and great recommendations helped us feel better fast. So grateful for the special touches she added along the way.
