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. Corenne from Iowa, USA

A true gem, within the rough.. true natural jungle experience with first class facilities, food and staff.. I have no complaints.. and I will return even if just for a relaxing day around the pool and some 5 star food. My special mention to Norma the chef, Rob the bartender and Glad GM. Well done folks.. Pablo the Canadian Gringo!!!

I have Nada, nothing, ziltch.. to say bad, and that's unusuall for me... I'm known to be outspoken in offering my opinion for improvement..

I loved the location, it was very remote, and quite which is what I wanted. The staff was amazing, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the property and the offerings. I would love to plan a yoga retreat there. The room was awesome, the pool was small, but not overly chlorinated so it didn't irritate my eyes. I really got to relax. The property was just beautifully laid out. We even did a medicinal tour of the property with Josh who was wonderful and so knowledgeable. And our Tour guide for Caracol was so amazing!

Exquisite, lush setting! Excellent food (we opted for a la carte but you can also get a 3-meal/day plan). Staff was extremely helpful in setting up great tours for us to enjoy the area.

This property is fairly secluded so the only real food option is on site. We loved the food though so wasn't a problem for our stay.

The property was beautiful and well maintained with lots of beautiful trails to enjoy. The staff were all friendly and seemed to really care about making our experience the best it could be. I appreciated that we could have all our meals right on the property and we could book all our tours through them. I would highly recommend.

The breakfasts were delicious and the dinners were always pretty, but weren’t mind blowing taste wise. Belize has amazing food and I didn’t think the dinners quite represented that. I would still stay again though.

The facility was beautiful. The staff was excellent. The chefs were amazing! Food was delicious and we ate every crumb! The bartender made the stay very welcoming and crafted up cocktails for us.

Fire alarm had battery issues one night but we were able to get someone there to fix quickly.

My teenage son and I had an excellent stay at Mariposa Jungle Lodge. It was comfortable and very clean and the service and food were excellent. The birding on site was fabulous too. My son and I took turns in the porch hammock-- it was lovely and very relaxing. I would stay here next time I return to Belize. A few words of warning, the resort is on the outskirts of San Ignacio, so if you're taking a tour that says it picks up in San Ignacio, confirm they pick up here. One (St. Jerome's Xunantunich and Cave Tubing-- excellent tour, highly recommended) confirmed and then charged me $75 for pick up and drop off at Mariposa. It's about a 15-20 minute drive each way-- so it's not trivial. We were the first to be picked up and then spent the next hour or more driving around to collect the others. (Again, that was an excellent tour-- maybe our favorite-- so I'm not knocking the tour.) We did the ATM tour with Pacz Tours and they did not charge extra for pick-up, so I think it depends. Also, another group cancelled our Caracol tour without telling me. I emailed them to confirm my pick-up time the next morning, and was told the night before that the trip was cancelled. Mariposa organized one on the spot for the next morning so the day was saved. Plus, it was a private tour with none of the "pickup and wait" issues we had with the Xunantunich tour. Next time I would just go with tours organized by Mariposa and skip the hassle. Finally, my son was able to access wifi for emails and texts and music just fine in the room. But I needed to do an hour or two of work most days, and found I was not able to download documents in the cabana. It was fine for email and texts. I went to the TV room and the wifi was fine there. It wasn't a private area, but I was the only one in there so it worked.

It's a great place-- I had to go to the lounge to download documents for work, but that was the only issue and it was not a big problem. Don't forget your bug spray!

Mariposa and it’s staff were absolutely fabulous. They were accommodating and attentive, making it a great place for both couples and families. The food was fabulous and they accommodated all dietary restrictions. The jungle location was a great spot for bird watching and accessing the surrounding wilderness.

This is the perfect choice if you want few people, excellent accommodations and delicious meals. The staff works hard to make each day perfect and we’d recommend at least 4 nights as we surely weren’t ready to leave after 3 to hit the beaches. If you want party action, this probably shouldn’t be your choice. Often saw comments that the meals were expensive but they are preparing beautiful meals for such a spall group of people and we think they were fair. Because it’s remote, we found it a good choice to hire a driver that knows the area rather than rent a car. ,good place to bring a family.

Nothing to dislike

This property was nestled in the mountain Pine Ridge area, very accessible to tourist attractions, and what I liked about it was that it was an ecological lodge. It was so peaceful and beautiful.

I have nothing negative to say.
