My boyfriend and I went to Playa del Carmen in late May for a much-needed vacation. We learned about Posada Mariposa through our travel agent and thought it sounded great (i.e. 1 block from the beach, literally steps away from La Quinta Avenida, etc.) so we booked it. I've never been greeted with such warmth at check-in. The concierge, whose... more

My family and I we booked the hotel through expedia.com, decided a few days before that my little sister is going to come too, we called expedia and they called the hotel, everything was fine we just had to pay an extra charge of 10 dollars per night. The hotels suites are too small for 4 people so we stayed... more

We have been disappointed from the firt contact: they were doing restyling work., and the workers woke us up at 8 AM every morning (even on Saturday). It was like to live in an erecting yard: painting, smashing a hammer into a wall and other noises all day. Furthermore we discovered that we had to pay an extra of 12%... more

My mother and I just returned from a 5 night stay at the Posada Mariposa. We both enjoyed our time very much at this quaint little hotel. I've traveled for work and pleasure quite a bit and stayed in all kinds of accomodations( from hostels and Motel 6's, mainstream Hyatts, Marriots, to luxury and boutique hotels such as those of... more

I recently stayed at the Mariposa with my sweetheart for a duration of four nights and absolutely loved my stay. Like most of you, i checked out the reviews before hand but I was more than impressed when I actually got there. My man Axel and the rest of the front desk crew couldn't possibly be any nicer or any... more

This little hotel was perfect for a week stay in Playa. It was very cozy and not hyped up like all the resorts and other hotels. My boyfriend and I loved the location ( 2 minute walk to the beach), right on the strip, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. It was just a great atmosphere to be... more

We had a little difficulty finding the Posada Mariposa, as it's on a pedestrian-only street. We arrived an hour earlier than the stated check-in time, and were told that our room wasn't ready yet. Not a big deal, we just wanted to park our bags and go to the beach anyway, but then we were told that our room would... more

On outstanding surprise on all counts! I found this gem online and although prebooking Mexico hotels has been problematic in the past, my experience was flawless from booking through having to say goodbye. E-mails were answered quickly, check in was a breeze, the staff are spot on and the location at the more subdued north end of the avenue was... more

As a budget traveler this hotel is great for the price. We found an online deal that was $20 a night less than the walk in rate. Feel free to email me to talk prices. In a quiet area, all the rooms face towards the interior courtyard of plants, trees and vines. A wooden table and two chairs were outside... more

I chose this hotel as it is near a condo I am buying. What a GREAT hotel! Friendly, helpful staff and beautiful tropical atrium lobby great you when you first arrive. I was led to my room on the third (top) floor - it wasnt huge, but it had a queen and full bed, and a very ample bathroom. The... more
