Slice of heaven
Hôtel Mariposa was amazing. The staff was so friendly and attentive, the pools were stunning, the rooms were clean and open. The mixed fresh blended juice in the morning and delicious breakfasts were a bonus. I love bartender Kendall and Oscar at the front desk and server Mike. It was a fabulous stay and I can’t wait to get back.

DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL. Horrible customer service! We had a family emergency and had to cancel/reschedule our vacation. We tried speaking to the hotel managers to explain our unfortunate ordeal where a member of our immediate family had become ill the day before we were expected to arrive and they showed absolutely no empathy and refused to allow us to rebook our vacation. The airline completely understood and gave us a refund, whereas La Mariposa Hotel refused even a credit to allow us to come in a few weeks or months. We tried speaking with ownership, who they claimed made this policy, but refused to put us in touch with them. Our kids are heartbroken. Why would anyone want to do business with such a cold and heartless establishment?!

I recently stayed at Hotel Mariosa, and it was a perfect experience from start to finish. The hotel itself is immaculate, with beautiful decor and comfortable accommodations. What truly made my stay exceptional was the outstanding service provided by Gregory at the Papillon restaurant. He went above and beyond to ensure every need was met, making me feel truly valued as a guest. His attention to detail and friendly demeanor made my dining experiences unforgettable. A special mention also goes to Dayana, who prepares the best omelets during breakfast. Her skill and dedication made each morning a delightful start to the day. I highly recommend Hotel Mariosa and especially commend Gregory at the Papillon restaurant and Dayana for making my stay so memorable.

Everything was great about this hotel, including what really seems to be the best view in the area. I did find the restaurant to be very overpriced for the quality of the food but I think you’re paying for the view. The pool was subpar for sure. The hot tub was the same same temperature as the pool. Overall the stay was really nice and the people were fantastic but I would definitely suggest them improving the pool for those days you might want to hang for a bit at the hotel.
