Incredibly kind and helpful staff including Marlon, Shefanie, Priscilla and Emma. My sister and I loved the beautiful tree house and enjoyed the hammock. The pool was beautiful and the staff did their best to clean up the sea moss on the beach. Breakfast was fantastic and Shefanie made sure we had breakfast for an early excursion departure.

Mariposa Beach Resort is a little slice of heaven in Placencia. We booked a tree house for 4 nights at Mariposa Beach Resort not really doing a lot of research but WOW, I am so glad we booked here. Our stay was fantastic and far exceed my expectations! We arrived early the day of check in and were able to check in right away and were immediately given a welcome drink, which was a nice touch. We then were taken to our tree house in the garden area, which was very spacious, had a fantastic covered porch, with a table for two and a hammock that overlooked their beautiful garden area, which well maintained and was very peaceful. The bed in our tree house was made up with flowers and greens spelling ‘Welcome’. The pool area was perfect (and useful since the seaweed had already invaded the beach when we arrived) and the staff serving at the pool bar and restaurant were super friendly and attentive. Because there are not very many tree houses and rooms at the main pool building, it never feels busy or crowded anywhere on the property. There are bikes available for use to ride into town, which we did several times to go to dinner or hang out at the beach in town. I like the fact that the resort is not in the hustle and bustle or downtown but you can walk or ride bikes into town if you want to try a different restaurant or go to the shops or bars. This is one of best resort stays we have experienced in traveling in the Caribbean or Central America!

Mariposa is a hidden gem. It’s quiet, spacious, and welcoming. It’s super conveniently located- the Placencia airport is about a 1/2 mile away, and the Village is about a 3 min golf cart drive. It would be a long walk. There are several markets to buy snacks and drinks in the Village, as well as great restaurants. Our room was not a treehouse and was in a sub-par location/ up stairs and behind a wall- it did not overlook the pool, beach, or jungle, but provided a nice escape after days of diving. Rooms are well stocked with towels, soaps, linens, mini-bar, etc and the AC worked great. The food was good- we mostly ate breakfasts. The bar offered espresso, as well as a variety of spectacular cocktails. They infuse rum with several different types of flavors- pineapple, habanero, ginger, etc- and make beverages to suit all tastes. Gladis is amazing! We had a couples massage in our room, which the GM, George, organized for us. All in all- I would choose to stay here again!

While we were there, the pool seemed a little dirty, but that may have just a one off thing. Everything else was perfect, beds and bathrooms were sparkling clean.

The AC was excellent, great wi-fi, plenty of outlets and the bathroom was spacious with built-ins. Staff was super friendly and the front of the house took exceptional care of us.

Mariposa is the best kept secret in Placencia - my experience was excellent, end to end. It’s a beautiful beach front property with amazingly friendly staff (and central A/C!) that made our stay extremely enjoyable and memorable. We found it to be a great choice over some of the nicer, comparable options like Turtle Inn, since Mariposa has more of a boutique vibe, and we felt offered a better value overall.

I plan to return again next year and will definitely book here again.

We stayed at Mariposa when we arrived to Placencia and the last night before we returned home and it was perfect. Gladis was very welcoming at the reception, Donny was amazing at the restaurant and all the staff were friendly and very helpful. The bungalow was perfect for our family of 4, since they have bunk beds. The restaurant was good with a nice view of the ocean. They have nice swings, volleyball court, paddle boards and bicycles which is perfect to go in town. It’s less than 5 minutes drive from Placencia airport. The only thing is the ocean has so much seaweeds that it wasn’t nice to go in the water. Which is fine since we didn’t stay at this hotel for the ocean but just be aware that this strip of the island gets a lot of seaweeds…

The Mariposa was perfect from the start, even during our planning. They assisted us in our trip plans from Belize City to Placenia by booking our flights and providing information. They also provided transportation from the airport to the resort. When we arrived, we were greeted by staff and a tropical cocktail or mocktail.
Our accommodations in the tree house exceeded our expectations. It was spacious, clean, comfortable, and had plenty of amenities. It is also beautiful.
The staff was friendly, courteous, helpful, accommodating, and resourceful.
The food and drinks at the restaurant on premises were delicious. There was a good variety of options as well as some authentic Belizean dishes. When I travel outside the U.S., I enjoy experiencing other cultures. We were able to do that at the Mariposa.
I’d like to mention that George, Miguel, Donny, and Gladys were exceptional. They went out of their way each and every time we wanted or needed anything. Donny really took special care of us in all aspects of our trip- food, recommendations for tours and places to eat or drink or shop. Gladys coordinated our tours for when we wanted to do them. Miguel and George checked in with us retro b

We were not too impressed with the restaurant food for dinner. We waited over an hour and the watermelon salad was pretty much just watermelon with maybe a tablespoon of feta and 2 small tomatoes on it. The prices were way too high !
Breakfast, however was good.
The staff are friendly and helpful but it takes a long time to get a drink. They also don’t give you complimentary bottle water and the mini fridge is super expensive.
Over all the resort is over priced in our opinion.

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!

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!

Simply the best resort in the area

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.

can’t recommend this place strongly enough- especially for a stop coming/going thru Placencia. wonderful staff, very well cared for grounds with delightful dining/pool/beach area. we stayed in a lovely “treehouse” room that was charming, clean and well appointed. this was the perfect place to “recover” from a ten day sailing adventure before heading to airport (a 45 second drive) this next morning. food great too!

My 12-year old son and I stayed one night here - the last night of our Belize vacation. This was the nicest of all the places we stayed in. We had a treehouse and it was so comfortable, clean, and peaceful. The staff was so welcoming and friendly. We used the complimentary bikes to get downtown and had ice cream at Tutti Fruitti, which I recommend.
Note that the Placencia airport is very close which makes this a convenient place to stay if you are flying back to BZE to get home.

Outstanding

The accommodation and service at Mariposa was outstanding.
The property was impeccably take care of. It was very clean. The beach and location was quite pleasant. The amenities were super. Most importantly the service- the service that you receive from the staff is amazing. I was here for a week and each and every person has such a high bar set to please their customers. They all are genuine, kind and care deeply about the customer and property. Donny, Carlos, Amanda, Juan, Ricky, Gladys, the chef in the kitchen- George at reception-- ALL such a great bunch. THANK YOU and I'll be back....

Cannot wait to go back

We visited Mariposa Beach Resort in early June and stayed in one of the treehouses. The staff was fantastic. Donnie, Gladys, Miguel, Ricky, Carlos, and the whole team listened to our needs and exceeded our expectations.

The accommodations were well appointed, the beds were very comfy, rooms and public areas were kept clean, and the grounds were well maintained. Mariposa’s location on the peninsula cannot be beat. Others may advertise a close proximity to the village, but Mariposa truly is only a five minute golf cart ride. We strongly recommend renting one for your visit and venturing into the village for shopping, an occasional meal off property, and some night life.

The food and drinks at The Breezeway were also fantastic. We especially enjoyed the breezeway salad, shrimp ceviche, and perfectly prepared snook.

Placencia is a great spot if you’re looking to avoid the crowds of San Pedro and want a combination of a relaxing beach get away and exciting excursions.

This place was awesome! The tree house was spectacular, super clean and amazing beds and bathroom. The pool was great for my son and they even had kids toys and a life vest for him. Everyone that worked there was so friendly and helpful. They had the doctor come to the resort for our COVID tests to get home and that made it so much less stressful. And the best part was how the food was such a pleasant surprise. We had just come from a jungle lodge that had sub par food so this was such a relief. The owner and the staff were all fabulous, we wish we’d spent our entire stay here!
