Hotel La Mariposa

Leave an evening for the ocean view

The Pacific outlook is a good reason to leave an evening free at Hotel La Mariposa. From this boutique hotel on Manuel Antonio’s hillside, the ocean and national park become part of the view, with the pool, restaurant and bar inviting you to linger as daylight fades. Bring your plans back to the hotel early enough to enjoy it.

Give the hillside a day of its own

There is a particular pleasure in being back at La Mariposa before the afternoon has ended. Take a swim, spend time in the tropical gardens or settle into the Jacuzzi, then let a glass of wine and the Pacific outlook carry you toward dinner. The restaurant and bar make it possible to enjoy that change of light without moving on to another place.

For a more active day, Manuel Antonio opens up birdwatching, jungle safaris, ziplining, whitewater rafting and canyoning. A morning in Manuel Antonio National Park brings another reason to spend time outdoors before returning to the hotel. The beach is not within walking distance, so arrange transportation for time on the sand and leave an evening for the hilltop outlook.

Choose the outlook and space
