"If I could give Gaia 10 stars, I would. The customer service is truly outstanding. We were a family of four, and after a 4-hour plane ride, a 2-hour customs line, and a 3½-hour drive from San José Airport, we arrived at the hotel completely exhausted. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and care. Friendly staff immediately took our luggage and transported us by golf cart to the lobby, where four fresh fruit drinks were waiting for us. I was introduced to my concierge, completed check-in quickly, given a tour, and escorted to our room—all seamlessly. Our suite was clean, comfortable, and spacious, with a stunning view of the jungle and ocean. There was more than enough room for my husband, myself, and our two adult daughters to spread out comfortably without feeling crowded. The shower pressure was excellent—it was hard not to want to take an hour-long shower! When we weren’t in the room, we loved relaxing on the balcony or in the outdoor seating just outside our door, right next to the pool. The pool area offered breathtaking views of both the ocean and jungle. My husband and I especially enjoyed floating in the pool chairs while soaking in the scenery. The hotel grounds are beautifully maintained and surrounded by a lush tropical setting. The staff throughout the property was exceptional. Our concierge, Edson, was incredibly helpful—always available to answer questions, arrange meals, and set up tours. Abraham at the Luna Restaurant was exceptional."

"We arrived late but the security met us and showed us our room which was done up nice. We had an excellent breakfast which was included. We wish we had not been delayed on our arrival so we could have enjoyed it more"

"It’s a very well located hotel, amazing views from the room. Infinity pool is beautiful. We had a corner room and would be nice to have a couch and comfortable chairs in the room. We would definitely return to La Mariposa ."

"We didn’t want to leave! Everything was spectacular, staff, friendly, location, views, food and variety, wildlife, comfortable and memorable! We saw more monkeys here than all of Costa Rica including Macaws flying around too! We highly recommend this place!"

"Clean rooms, great views, wonderful food and friendly staff. "

"We had an amazing stay here. The rooms are spacious and clean, and the amenities were great. Every morning, you order breakfast and it’s made to order and delicious. The pool area was quiet and peaceful, surrounded by lush greenery. We spent a good amount of time reading and swimming! The staff was helpful, attentive, and friendly. We had the best time here and will come back and stay again soon!"

"We booked triple ocean view room for 3 nights. We were in a room which was renovated. We were in room 202, which has a huge building in front of the balcony. However, you could see I’ll see the ocean to the right and left of the building. The room should have been less than the 3rd floor room because of the obstructed view. The room was spacious for 3 people, 2 beds and a sofa, refrigerator, coffeemaker and coffee table. However, they charge you $2 for the coffee pod. They did have free coffee in the lobby. Breakfast was great. Many choices and the taste and service was great in dining area. It had beautiful view. Front staff was helpful. There was parking on property, but the entrance is steep and it curves. My most favorite place was the rooftop. During the day, you can see ocean on both sides. In the evening, it was so pleasant at the rooftop that we played cards. It was lovely, we saw stars and sunset colors from there. We liked the location of the hotel. Only 5-8 minutes driving to all key places to visit. Thank you!! "
