Ryokan in Cantón Pérez Zeledón

"We absolutely loved our time at La Mariposa. It was clean, conveniently located to great dining, quiet -- but by far our favorite was the view and the staff! The view is the most spectacular dining view we've ever seen. It's a wrap-around view of the mountains in the distance, the national park / rainforest to one side and the expanse of the pacific ocean. It's beautiful at both sunrise and sunset! Several restaurants in the area having stunning views of the ocean but absolutely none compare to La Mariposa and its onsite restaurant Le Papillon. It's truly jaw dropping. The pool and sunset bar share the view as well. The staff were incredibly gracious, kind and accommodating. Alan at the front desk is an absolute gem of a person -- we adored him and he took excellent care of us. My wife and daughters also loved the resident cat Marina who the hotel has kindly adopted. We were greeted by monkeys every morning when we walked out our door -- they always visit early in the morning and my daughters had the best time poking their heads out each morning and seeing the monkeys racing around -- some with babies on their backs. A sloth took up residence in a beautiful almond tree that the kids would go visit each morning at breakfast. We would stay here again in an instant."

"Beautiful property with beautiful views and great staff."

"The hospitality at this resort was remarkable. The warmth of the staff and the care with which they approached us during our stay was real and authentic. We will definitely be back!"

"Very nice people "

"At shoulder season prices this place offered a great value considering its ideal location. You're across the street from a beautiful beach and a 10-minute walk to the Manuel Antonio National Park. The office staff was helpful and the servers in the open-air restaurant were friendly. The rooms are in need of an update, but they're clean and the grounds are well maintained. I enjoyed my stay. "

"Very nice boutique hotel with pool, hot tub, bar (with happy hour!!) and dining facilities including free breakfast. "

"Honestly, cannot say enough great things about this location. The staff, hotel, and grounds were absolutely incredible, truly. We wanted to stay another night but out trip timeline would not allow it."

"One of the best properties in the world. Everything is world class and you truly feel special. The rooms are spacious and elegant. Everyone knows your name and you have all your needs addressed before you can even think about it!"

"Our room was nice, clean, and had everything we needed. Staff were friendly enough, José at the front desk was very nice and super helpful in answering our questions. All the Capuchin monkeys running around the resort was super fun! Only misses we had were that we wish the pool bar stayed open later and that there was a hot tub/thermal pool. There were shuttles to the different restaurants but a shuttle to the beach would have been nice since it’s a 10 min walk all uphill on the way back. "
