This hotel is amazing! Courteous and helpful staff greet you, including a resident cat. Breakfast is good with an outstanding view. Make sure to watch the sunset or the monkeys by the bar. Pool is a perfect place to cool off and relax. Restaurant serves fresh seafood and other offerings. The location is off the main road a bit so it is quiet yet accessible.

We had a beautiful time at the La Mariposa! The hotel is beautiful with orchids by the pool side and an occasional visit from the monkeys. The outdoor dining was fantastic and the drinks and food were incredible as well. It is nice to be so close to dining and shops and be able to walk.

Absolutely the best views in Quepos! Breakfast each morning was delicious. we looked forward to it each day. Eggs made to order, with fresh fruit. The rooms were nice and clean. We had an issue with our warm water in the shower but turns out we were dumb and didn't turn the knob the right way.. duh! The pool area is open and the staff are great. Very attentive and made great drinks. The location of the hotel was perfect! Off the main road so it was quiet.. but close enough to walk to restaurants and stores. I would definitely return and stay for longer. So much to see and do in this country. Well worth the $$!
