Mariposa Belize Beach Resort

We were welcomed as true VIPs by Donny and George and felt right at home. Property is beautiful and very well maintained. All staff we encountered were kind and thoughtful and seemed to truly enjoy working at Mariposa. Donny is a very committed and experienced manager and truly cares about providing guests with a top-notch experience and hired a wonderful crew; shout out to Carlos, Moses and Gladys. Our cabana amidst the trees felt spacious for our family of four and was very clean. It had a nice deck with a hammock as well. We will be back!

Amazing place! We will definitely be returning. The staff were very friendly and helped to make our stay enjoyable. Highly recommend the Mariposa Beach Resort.

Beach

Have to say Mariposa is BEAUTIFUL and peaceful. Loved every minute of my stay. Can’t wait to go back!!!

We booked a 9-day visit to Placencia, staying at Mariposa the entire time. It was our first trip to Belize. The charm of Placencia village and Mariposa made this a memorable trip! The resort setting is beautiful, with constantly changing waterfront views. The accommodations are spacious, clean and very comfortable, and the property is impeccably maintained. We originally booked a treehouse, but due to the construction of additional new treehouses, we were offered a large room in the main building as an alternative. This was a pleasant surprise, as the room was waterfront and had its own private balcony. We arrived via Placencia airport, and Mariposa provided transportation from and back to the airport on our departure. Throughout our visit, the staff was helpful in making any arrangements we needed for a pleasant trip. The pool and beach are beautiful and relaxing. The Breezeway Restaurant food is excellent, and we think that it is the best we had in Placencia. The staff are exceptional, with everyone so friendly and eager to help make your stay enjoyable and comfortable. Special recognition goes to Gladis S., who goes out of her way, every day, to ensure a pleasant stay for all with her friendly smile, engaging sense of humor, energy and delightful conversation. Our expectations were exceeded, and we look forward to a future visit.

Wow! The accommodations were excellent! Stayed in a “treehouse “ where we were greeted with fresh flowers on the bed, as well as a cute towel bird display and a/c cooled room😀. The staff was top notch and very friendly. Plan to visit again !! Little piece of heaven by the beach!!

Food was excellent, treehouse concept very cool but I think it’s pooor customer service that the resort does not offer any free transport to placencia. Food in rooms mini bar was stale and old. .

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!
