MARIPOSA JUNGLE LODGE

In short, this is an amazing little property! We had a group of 7 (adults) that reserved the Jungle/Bneach package in tandem with the Xanadu Resort on Ambergris Caye. Mariposa has only 9 casitas. We took 4 of them. We had the resort to ourselves and it was fantastic. Glad, the manager, welcomed us to the resort and made feel completely at home. Robby, the bartender, server and great host offered fantastic FRESH Watermelon, Pineapple or Hibiscus Mojitos.
Our casitas are comfortable and unbelievably clean.
Our package included a trip to the Mayan Ruins - Caracol. Our guide Agusto was a wealth of knowledge. The trip included hiking into caves, seeing howler monkeys and all kinds of birds. A must do trip.
Just a few minutes from the resort is a Butterfly and Hummingbird garden - also a don't miss. They go through 8 lbs. of sugar a day just feeding the hummingbirds. Fantastic.
But I would be remiss not to include Norma & Civilla - They run the kitchen. The food is wonderful, creative and totally worth the trip.

On our trip back, we all agreed - WE MISS NORMA!!
Thanks to the rest of the staff - Rosa, Luis, Eddy, Vicente & Maritza
