La Mariposa Hotel

The Manuel Antonio and Quepos area is one of Costa Rica's top destinations. Known for its long stretches of white sand, dense tropical rainforest and abundant wildlife, this region is popular with virtually every type of visitor to Costa Rica. Sport fishing, surfing, dolphin tours, scuba diving, canopy tours, hiking, mangrove boat trips, horseback riding and plantation tours are all readily available.

Hotel La Mariposa is perched on a hill, overlooking the blue waters of the Pacific Ocean, the city of Quepos and Manuel Antonio National Park. The scenery of ocean, rainforest and big sky is stunning alongside the Spanish-Mediterranean architecture. This hotel is designed for people who spend their vacation with an incredible view.

Walk amongst the meticulously landscaped tropical gardens featuring walkways and trails. The pool is the crown jewel of the grounds — this cliffside pool offers lovely, sweeping views of the surrounding area. As the sun begins to set, head to the poolside bar and lounge where you'll be treated to tropical cocktails (or whatever happy hour drink you prefer).

There’s an on-site fine dining featuring panoramic viewpoints and renowned haute cuisine, covering the gamut from Mediterranean, Italian, seafood specialities, and Tex-Mex. Breakfast is included, so you don’t have to worry about where you’ll find your morning coffee and eggs. And if you don’t feel like leaving your room after a busy day of sightseeing, you can order up some convenient room service.

Even standard rooms are quite spacious, with living rooms and breezy balconies. If you want an ocean view, make sure to specify that with your booking. All accommodations air air conditioned and come with conveniences like an in-room mini fridge. Spend your downtime watching some cable channels on the flat-screen TV and connect to the Wi-Fi. Guests can also expect a private bathroom that’s equipped with a hair dryer, iron, and ironing board.

For an extra charge, take advantage of the laundry service. Rooms also come prepared with irons and ironing boards. If you aren’t quite ready to travel to your next location after you check out, take advantage of the hotel’s luggage service.
