La Mariposa Hotel - Manuel Antonio, Kosta Rika

- Very rude personnel. It was raining when we checked in and we have to ask multiple times to get our luggage (our son needed medication that were in the luggage). - There are 4 pools but they are a bit tired, and they were definitely not clean by 10am in the morning (lots of mosquitos, spiders, etc). - Extremely slow wifi, our 2G cell connection was a good backup. - Rude staff, not friendly at all. Service at the restaurant / breakfast is really poor. - Breakfast is just ok. Could not get a smile from that person at the omelet stand ! - Nice views, but that's it. - Very pricy for the service you are getting. - The location is good, the view is nice so it's easy for them to get customers and they don't just care about their cutomers. We've been to multiple places in CR, and this one was by far the worst and one of the most expensive. Avoir this one, go somewhere else.

Nice views. Very rude personnel - except ONE person at the restaurant ! Strong sewage smell in the bathroom. Extremely slow wifi. I don't recommend this place at all.

IT was a good experience. But the quality is not there for the price.

Very nice place with an amazing view, pool, friendly staff and so forth. I'd suggest a few improvements such as, putting a couple of small lamps in the room on the bedside tables, the big light is too strong when you want to unwind after a long day. I'd change the tables for bigger ones to place your phone, wallet and small items. Also, at times it got very busy by the pool and wet bar and I didn't see anyone making sure that there were enough staff to service the guests or clean up tables for the next person to come. Also, the buffet for breakfast very nice, but I would've prefered to have freshly squeezed orange juice rather than a commercial type, not real oj. Such as tropical place should promote the use of their natural products and ingredients. One great thing was to see their hanging basil plants, they use it for the pasta dishes, etc, very good. The coffee was also a commercial type, not good; there's a local roaster down the street (Cafe Milagro) excellent restaurant and place for coffee, plus a neat place to go in the evening for dinner and live music. Enjoy!

This hotel is a gem. We all had a relaxing and wonderful time. The staff was grear and the room with view was memorable
