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. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, especially Miguel and Tiffany. The only downside is that we wish we could have stayed longer than just three nights!
