Quepos Hotel Guide. Hotels in El Cerro, Quepos, Costa Rica

"This was an amazing place to stay! The staff was amazing and there is so much to do, especially if you love animals and like adventure! Being in the jungle is amazing and everything was perfect! Absolutely love it there! "

"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 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!"

"Our second stay was as good as the first…EXCELLENT"

"La Marioposa is in a beautiful location. The building and rooms are situated for unbelievable views of the ocean and forest. There is a lot of wildlife on the property that you can see from your balcony monkeys, birds, sloths. They even have a adorable resident baby sloth. The staff are exceptional and work extremely hard to make sure you enjoy your vacation. We were fortunate to have Alan, Oscar and David at the front desk and they bent over backwards to support any requests we had or provide good background on tours etc. The complimentary breakfast is really good. It is buffet style with a lot of options. The Papillion Restaurant for dinner and pool bar also serve really good food and drinks. The wait staff are extremely gracious. A magical location and definitely a place I would love to come back to. Thank you Mariposa."

"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!! "

"We had a great stay. The hotel was beautiful and lush, our room was nice, and the pool area was excellent. The staff are super welcoming and helpful. We saw tons of wildlife at the property as well. Walkable to a mini market and a few restaurants."

"Staff was great!"

"They go above and beyond definitely worth a trip "
