    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.

    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.

    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

    I loved everything, but people coming here need to keep in mind that because it's distant from the city, all meals are better had at the hotel.

    Very secluded in the middle of the jungle, Wonderfull staff and meals.

    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..

    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..

    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!

    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 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.

    Perfect place to stay in San Ignacio-- teenage son and I both loved it

    • Family Cottage
    • Stayed 4 nights

    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!

    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.

    The staff at Mariposa Lodge were exceptionally friendly, courteous and attentive to all of our needs. Norma prepared delicious meals for us everyday. Our bartender and wait staff were always welcoming and willing to provide advice on places to visit in the area. Gladimir, the general manager, made sure we were prepared for our daily tours and had supplies take with us. All that we had to do everyday was relax, enjoy the beautiful surroundings and chat with other visitors and staff. It was a lovely vacation at Mariposa!
