MARIPOSA JUNGLE LODGE

Amazing jungle experience Jan 2024. Spotless cottages were constructed by local artisans. Every meal was delicious, planned with our food preferences per advance email. Our excursion to Caracol was unforgettable as our guide, of Mayan heritage, shared more than academic information. Mariposa staff was friendly, kind and attentive to all our needs. Many adventures nearby, hiking on property, butterfly ranch nearby, caving, waterfalls, etc.

Amazing stay at Mariposa Jungle Lodge! Our family stayed for 5 nights there with a 2 and 4 year old, and everything was wonderful. The staff were super helpful with our questions about what things to visit, and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Everything was very kid friendly - we especially loved the pool! The Blue Morpho apartment was perfect for us. We devoured Chef Norma's delicious meals every day and the drinks were wonderful too! Thank you for a wonderful experience!!

I cannot rave about this place enough. We were greeted with fresh juice (with a side of rum) which was super special. The woman who served us every day (Zana? I feel awful I can't remember her name) but she was so great with my teenager son who is a pretty picky eater. And he ate everything they made - it was all super fresh and yummy. My son also got sick while we were there and the guys made sure to find meds for him (thank you!). Then another one of the guys knew my son loved animals and helped us spot howler monkeys. The service was impeccable, the food delicious and it was an all around great experience. Also - request a tour of the caves and ziplining with Maya Adventures - Damien was amazing! The guy worked his butt off in the caves itself (which was an experience to remember) and then took us to a local place for lunch. Loved our time there!

Excellent location in a dense jungle setting. The cabana was very nice, supplied with water and a small refrigerator, but no coffee maker or other amenities. Mariposa appeared on my radar because of the very nice vegetarian menu they had posted on their website. I really just wanted to go for the food, but decided on an overnight stay with dinner and breakfast. I was excited to eat there. The food was a major disappointment especially for the price they charged. There was no menu and no choice. I got the same vegetables in a breakfast omelette that they served me the night before stuffed into a pumpkin. They served my girlfriend rice and beans, which you can get at a thousand places in town for $10, and it wasn't even that good. (They were actually going to serve me rice and beans and just sub out the chicken, but I insisted on a vegetarian meal, which they provided.) The chef should be embarrassed.

Gorgeous little resort in the jungle. We were looked after so well here. Food was delicious
