La Mariposa Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Rooms are very large and very clean. Beds are very firm. Nice balcony!
The food at the restaurant was excellent. The staff were very nice and accommodating. Unfortunately the young man who took us to our room, was probably new and overloaded the elevator and broke it. The other staff rescued us quickly. There are iron spiral staircases, which we used the remainder of stay, being very careful because it was raining. Beautiful property with beautiful views. Close to Manuel Antonio national Park.

"Outstanding place! Gaia is truly magical — beautifully designed, completely embedded in nature, and offering breathtaking views everywhere you look. What really makes the difference is the service — it’s on another level.
José, Andrés, and the entire team go above and beyond to make you feel special from the moment you arrive. Every detail feels personalized, and their warmth makes the experience unforgettable.
Perfect spot to unwind, reconnect with nature, and feel genuinely cared for."
"The hotel is close to the Manuel Antonio National Park and the city of Quepos, therefore it offers not only the privilege of being literally at walking distance from the park and the beach, but also surrounded of tens of restaurants that combine the authentic Costa Rican cuisine with international influences. It is a wonderful place to stay while visiting the local wonders."
"Everything about our stay was excellent! The rooms were nice and clean, the grounds were beautiful and well kept, the food at the restaurant was very good, and the hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The reception staff helped us arrange tours and transportation, and gave us several good recommendations for places to see and eat. We would definitely stay here again."
