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.
The hotel is famous for its sunset vistas, visible from most rooms, the pool, and the restaurant.
The infinity pool is a standout feature, offering a dramatic backdrop for relaxation and photos.
Consistently recognized for exceptional hospitality and personalized attention, including the Travellersā Choice award for being among the top 10% of hotels on major review sites,
The hotel is not directly on the beach. Itās a short walk or drive down the hill to Playa Espadilla.
La Mariposa is a boutique property, so it lacks the extensive amenities of a large resort.
While elegant and well-maintained, the style is classic rather than ultra-modern or trendy.
We were in great hands from the moment we landed! Loved the excursions, hotels, and our driver āMarlon Brando.ā You made everything smooth with great planning and thoughtful check-ins. Truly an enjoyable and worry-free trip!

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.
