With 2 thirteen year old girls in tow (my granddaughter and her friend), together with my wife and I (two fifty year old plus farts) and sister-in-in-law ( a young 70+), plans for celebrating New Years 2012 in Belize together was destined to be very quiet. That all changed very quickly when we decided to have dinner and participate in... More

If you've stayed at other luxury/boutique hotels you know what I mean. The pool is a good example. The photos of the pool look nice. But... More

We just returned from a week's stay at the Mariposa Jungle Lodge, and our first trip to Belize. The reviews on Trip Advisor are totally on the mark. This place is a real gem! We are a 30 something couple and wanted to spend 7 nights in the Cayo to do a combination of outdoor activities and Mayan culture/sightseeing. The... More

We just returned from Mariposa Jungle Lodge, a place we chose based on Trip Advisor reviews. Our purposes for going to Belize were birding and Mayan ruins of Belize and Guatemala, and by staying in the Cayo region, all that is possible.

A truly exceptional experience More

We just returned from our trip to Belize. And, the first stop on our adventurous trip was Mariposa Jungle Lodge. The road to the lodge is quite bumpy because of the limestone on the roads, but you feel like you have entered a different world as soon as you enter the lodge. Every little detail has been taken care of... More

Our family began our Belize adventure with 3 days/nights at the Mariposa. Every staff member provided top notch friendly service. The hotel is remote- off a bumpy dirt road secluded in the Belize jungle. That said, Sharyn's world travel expertise and attention to detail ensured our comfort with pleasant luxuries ranging from mango scented toiletries in the bathroom to helping... More
