"The site was beautiful; the room was spacious with a view of the ocean; the swimming pool was extremely large and the food in the restaurant was delicious. It was a delight to stay in this resort. I would highly recommend it. "

"We stayed 7 nights in Junior Suites with sea views and private hot tubs on the balcony (we had separate rooms). We’ll remember this stay for a long time. The rooms are essentially as described: clean, well serviced daily, comfortable bed, fresh towels/robes, plenty of amenities, and a well-stocked mini fridge. The hot tub was a highlight (it takes a while to fill, but it’s amazing once it’s going). A quick, honest note: it comes across as “luxury,” but I’d call it a high-quality boutique stay that’s slightly unrefined around the edges. A couple of design quirks: the open shower can spray water onto the floor, and my friend’s toilet door was a saloon-style door. My AC dripped and got noisy one night, but the team seemed to spot and fix it without me even reporting it — no issues after. The setting is incredible for wildlife: white-faced monkeys crossed our balconies most days, with toucans and macaws flying past. The pool is excellent (and deep), the loungers are comfortable, and the adults-only option is a plus. Staff were the standout — genuinely kind and helpful. Breakfast was good and varied daily; restaurant food was solid and reasonably priced. They also booked tours at fair prices. Bonus: There’s a complimentary golf buggy shuttle around the local area, which made getting around much easier."

"Great view and good breakfast..Roads could be improved to access the location easier. "

"Staff/room/pool/food and drinks fabulous/ loved free tour very informative!!"

"Our stay at mountain top park was absolutely wonderful. It really is at the top of the mountain (The drive from the front entrance to the hotel is steep and windy, in a fun way). On our first morning after checking in, we saw some squirrel monkeys climbing through the trees from our balcony, and when we had breakfast we saw a few toucans in the trees right outside the hotel, along with a great view of the ocean. The rooms are clean and spacious, and the breakfast is wonderful (the hot food is served by staff, but is otherwise self-serve). A stay at this hotel includes free access to the grounds on site which have a wide range of wildlife and a few suspension bridges, and even includes a free morning tour if you sign up one day in advance. The overall feeling we got while staying here is that the staff really cares about making your experience a fun one, and I would definitely stay again if we were to come back to the area!"

"La Mariposa was a highlight of our trip. The property is beautiful, and the view is absolutely incredible. Waking up to floor to ceiling windows and an ocean and national park view never got old. Our room was clean and comfortable, and the infinity pool overlooking the ocean was a favorite spot. We even saw monkeys on the property. Breakfast each morning was wonderful, and the staff were so lovely and accommodating throughout our stay. The property’s location is ideal, within walking distance to shops and restaurants. The beach is about a 25 minute downhill walk and there’s also a property shuttle to the beach if you don’t feel like walking. We are absolute looking forward to staying here again. "

"Fabulous location with excellent access directly to the beach. Very helpful staff. Loved that even after checking out you still could use parking, a hot shower, bathrooms, the pool, and the beach. Would absolutely stay there again!"

"Great hotel, perfectly located and within walking distance to restaurants and shopping 4 minute driving to the beach. Staff very friendly, rooms were great and very clean. "
