Dear Suzanna, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m thrilled to hear that you had such an amazing time in Ocotal and that you enjoyed the views, the location, and the comfort of the home. Im glad everything met your expectations and that the check-in and check-out process felt seamless. I have to say, I’m especially impressed that you rented a moped with your sons and made the adventure out to La Leona Falls — what a fantastic experience to share together! That’s exactly the kind of Costa Rica memory that lasts a lifetime. You and your family were a pleasure to host, and you’re welcome back anytime. I’d be happy to host you again on your next visit to paradise! Warm regards Alvin

A perfect location for our family of 7, including our 1.4 month-old granddaughter - everyone loved it. Close to the beach, right next to the pool and restaurant (Soluna). Went to the Coco Beach area, (several options for groceries), also had great meals at Soda Teresita (dinner) and Cafe Corazon (breakfast). Per Alvin's recommendations; tried the pizza at La Caveja Pizza - very good!, as well as Father Rooster's, which is a "do not miss" - the food was great and the sunset was spectacular!!Alvin and Cesar were very helpful with any questions we had.

Thank you so much for your kind review, John! We’re thrilled to hear that Villa Mariposa was the perfect spot for your family — including your youngest little traveler! It’s always a joy to host families of all ages, and the villa also makes a great escape for multiple couples or even a single couple looking for a spacious and peaceful retreat. We really appreciate you highlighting the fantastic dining options nearby — Father Rooster’s at sunset is truly special, and we’re glad you enjoyed the local favorites like La Caveja, Soda Teresita, and Café Corazón. Thanks as well for the kind words about myself and César — we’re always happy to help make your stay as smooth and memorable as possible. Hope to welcome you back to Costa Rica again someday! Warm regards, Alvin

The condo was perfect. So many simple things that made our stay easier-a cooler, and especially the child gates. #10 villa is perfect-steps to the beach and the pool/restaurant. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful as I practiced my Spanish. Alvin, the host was great too. He took care of making sure the water was safe to drink and that we had a paknplay for our grandson. He also made wonderful recommendations for dinner.

Bahia Pez Vela is a beautiful resort, and Villa Mariposa was as much as we ever expected. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and the excursion opportunities in the area.

Incredible property, great location

We had the pleasure of spending one week in Villa 10. It has the most beautiful views of the ocean, and the beautiful and quiet black sand beach. The Villa is beside the lovely and clean pool, and the restaurant, yet still very private. The home is appointed with everything you could need, and we enjoyed preparing some of our own meals, while also having the convenience of the on-site restaurant, and many more great restaurants a short drive away. The owners, and Al in particular who we communicated with, were wonderful and quick to respond to any questions leading up to our stay, and helpful in arranging rental vehicles and provided a lot of information and suggestions for what to see and do in the area. Overall incredible, and we are already thinking about a return visit!

Thanks Lorraine for selecting Villa Mariposa. Agree, the location of villa 10 and 11 are the best in the resort. We’re glad you liked the new handmade bedroom furniture. They just finished renovating the living room today. Next time you visit, you’ll find a much more comfortable couch and chairs in the living room. Although, you typically spend most of the time outside. Glad you had a good time, be well. Al and Carolanne
