The Mariposa was a simple lovely resort I was expecting something bigger and more crowded but this is small currently 11 rooms with an excellent and attentive staff. The pool area and beach in front were nothing fancy but nice. The location seemed perfect- removed enough from the town of placencia to feel quiet and private but close enough to ride the hotel loaner bikes into town and back several times. Food was ok - on par with other places we tried. We were here before the season got too busy so high staff to patron ratio and they were all great! Gladis, George, Oliver, Moises, Ricky, Donny all top notch. Highly recommend for a mid price "resort" Thank You!

The staff was exceptional, so sweet, attentive, professional, respectful and so funny. We loved the atmosphere. Please let all the bartenders and servers know how much we loved being there because of them. I can’t remember all there names, Donny was very welcoming, Carlos was always making sure we didn’t need anything. All the others were just as exceptional. Thank you.

Mariposa is located on the beautiful beach.The resort is very small and creates very cozy and private environment The resort is well maintained very close to local airport. They have little restaurant but we had rental car and explored local Placencia restaurants. The staff is very friendly. We booked treehouse but they have construction on the property grounds. The manager offered for us beachfront room that was quiet and far away from the construction site . We really appreciated the upgrade. We stayed in this resort for a second time and never been disappointed. Thank you all the staff and manger for awesome vocation. We will come back.

The pictures you see online are totally accurate. Its a beautiful resort. The locaton is perfect, about a 15 minute bike ride into placencia. The restaurant is excellent! Loved every meal. The staff are the best. We have never been treated so well. They were always smiling, always friendly. Its a small resort so you really feel comfortable and taken care of. We stayed in #9 and we could watch the sunrise every morning from our balcony. Highly recommend!!

Mariposa is a 50 min walk by beach to Placencia. Not recommended... too difficult to navigate - do not recommend. Taxi to town is $10 (US). Our room was Treehouse #1. You climb up several steps to your room.... very cool vibe. You are quite far from the beach and the restaurant, but the facility is very well maintained and beautiful in the trees, so the walk is lovely. Staff was very friendly. Restaurant was okay. We were only there for 4 nights, so we went for dinner at the Turtle Inn down the road (walking distance) and had a lovely experience there with live music etc. The Mariposa has a nice beach, but like all of Belize, not great swimming. They have a couple of kayaks we took out (free) as well as paddleboards. That was really fun. Their pool is pretty small but nice!

If you want a romantic secluded get away, this is the place to go. We loved our tree house in the trees. It felt like we had a luxury resort all to ourselves with a 5 star service. The pool was beautiful on the beach with pool side service. The restaurant is top rated and the food made this evident. Any of the seafood is amazing.

Clean, cozy, and excellent service. We stayed glide 7 nights, during “low season.” We had the resort to ourselves. We were upgraded to the suite with a balcony that overlooks the pool and ocean; it was gorgeous. The pool and beachfront are stunning; picturesque. All staff were kind and helpful. We had a bit of trouble with our AC and internet; both were addressed promptly. Would highly recommend and stay again.

Great Staff!
When our flight to Belize City was delayed, Miguel stepped in and arranged for Tropic Air to create a later flight to get us to Placencia, and he came late to get us at the airport. The staff was wonderful and went out of their way to service us. Great staff and a great hotel!

Mariposa was simply AMAZING! The treehouses are gorgeous and well maintained. The room was so clean and decorated with fresh flowers. The staff were so attentive and always friendly. The food was better quality than most anywhere- hats off to the chief for being one of the very best. I would recommend this resort to everyone as a must do.

We were only here for 1 night and we would LOVE to come back!! It was absolutely darling. It is very small - just little treehouses (maybe 12) and a small handful of workers running the place doing multiple jobs. They were all incredibly nice. Darling little breezy bar, nice quiet pool and beach area. Property was totally clean and they attended to every need. Cold towels and a drink on arrival. Fresh flowers on the bed. They delivered cereal bowls and milk to our sleeping teens, ha while we had breakfast oceanside. We had dinner there and it was delicious. This is the perfect spot if you just need to chill in paradise for a few days.
