We walked into the Posada Mariposa off the street, and loved its little lobby. It was low season, and we were paying in cash, so we got a room on the ground floor for $40. We didn't care what it looked like, as long as it was clean and has A/C. It was SO hot that day, we were melting.... more

After a bad hotel experience (Hora Feliz 'condo' rental), we fled at the last minute to this gem. Staff is very accommodating, hotel is comfortable and in excellent location - quieter area of 5th avenue. Very family friendly. This place saved our vacation and is a safe home base from which to conduct your adventures. Filtered water on site (very... more

There are no amenities at Posada Mariposa, but its location on 5th Avenue within walking distance to the beach and restaurants makes this a perfect choice for those seeking a simple, clean hotel with character. My friend and I stayed there for 7 nights and we loved it! The front desk was always pleasant and helpful. more

Let me start by saying...I had the best stay at this small hotel, clean, well priced and the best part..LOCATION!! I would definitely stay at this hotel again and I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone going to Playa Del Carmen. more

We first stayed at this hotel in 2005 based on a friends recommendation. We stayed in the little apartments and walked to the nearby grocery stores and cooked a lot for ourselves. Having a fridge for water/beer and snacks was great too. The place is always clean. Our latest trip was in 2009 and the town has grown a lot... more

Well just returned from Playa del Carmen 06/01-06/09 (3rd time). We had decided at the last minute (1 month ) to plan to go. Well first the hotel we have stayed in the past was booked and it was a perfect location off 5th and next to the beach. So I started to look at my options for what we... more

I read many of the reviews before I selected this hotel and it met every expectation. I even treasured the hard beds! At the north end of the tourist district, it is away from the clubs but easy walking distance to everything you need. Many restaurants are within a block or two. The beach is only a few blocks away... more

With three of my friends I went to Posada Mariposa in PDC. We loved the place. We had two rooms; one standard plus and one junior suite both on the third floor. The one overlooking the 5th avenue was a bit noisy but since there is a separate door between the kitchenette and the bedroom, it stopped most of the... more

This place is just as it appears in the pictures- it's so eclectic and sweet- but good Lord- I woke up every hour- the beds are SOOO Hard! It's such a shame too... it's a great location, the guys at the front desk were wonderful, and it's beautiful- I hate to even say it- but my fiance and I said... more
