Inclusions:
La Mariposa Resort has been lately the preferred destination for many Costa Rica's anglers.
A more sophisticated crowd have discovered a few years ago that an excellent fishing experience could be very well complemented by a stay at this gorgeous resort.
The hotel accepts simple accomodations without meals, as well as the inclusion of Breakfast, or MAP (Breakfast and Dinner a la carte) in their rates.
There is no better place to celebrate (and eat) the day catches as at "Le Papillon", an award winning restaurant, located on the gorgeous terrace of La Mariposa. A class atmosphere, a very friendly staff committed to the guest's enjoyment, has been the "find" of many an angler. Accomodations:
De Luxe Rooms, Junior Suites, Premier Suite and the ultimate prize, the Penthouse Suite, are all designed with nature in sight. Light and Air have apparently been the themes of the decorators.
Comfort in simplicity; Luxury in discretion, this is what you will find different in La Mariposa's accomodations.
Balconies and terraces are always present and inviting to spend some time in peace and contemplation of nature's beauty.
