The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Exquisite Culinary Delights

During my recent stay in July 2024, I was blown away by the dining experience at Mariposa Belize Beach Resort. The meals were nothing short of sensational! Each day's menu offered a variety of delicious options, and I found myself constantly comparing other restaurants to the fantastic food served here. The traditional Mayan roasted pig during the wedding event was excellent and truly unique. I could not get enough of the handmade tortillas too, all of which highlighted the resort's commitment to providing an really good dining experience.

Stunning Tree Houses

My stay in one of the Tree Houses at Mariposa in September 2024 was an experience I'll cherish forever. The craftsmanship of the tree house was simply beautiful, and the room was spacious and clean, offering a hammock on the porch to unwind in! It was so refreshing to have such a comfortable and scenic space to come back to after a long day exploring. The unique jungle setting provided a much-needed tranquility away from the bustle of everyday life.

Luxurious Rain Showers

I must rave about the bathroom facilities during my visit in December 2024. The rain shower boasted excellent water pressure, making for a truly enjoyable experience. After a sun-soaked day at the beach, stepping into that refreshing shower felt utterly rejuvenating. It was the perfect way to unwind and cleanse away the day’s adventures!

Comfort Beyond Compare

During my stay in January 2025, the comfort of the bed in my tree house was unparalleled. The pillows were plush and inviting, ensuring I could easily drift off to sleep after a day filled with activities. I woke up feeling rested and ready for another day of exploration. It was truly a cozy retreat that contributed immensely to the overall relaxation of my vacation.

Our stay at Mariposa was nothing short of amazing! The jungle tree-house we stayed in was truly special, and the friendly atmosphere made us feel right at home. The beach was beautiful and private, perfect for relaxation. The only downside was the sandy beaches weren't as soft as I had hoped, but that didn't take away from our overall experience. I'd gladly return for another vacation!

My family and I had the most amazing stay at this boutique lodge near Placencia Village! The beach was beautifully maintained, and the treehouse cabanas were not only spacious but also spotless.
