We actually stayed here in December of 2006, for a few days before our wedding. My husband and I lead hectic lives in Houston and wanted to get away from it all in a small, quiet , secluded, and beautiful spot on the beach. Mariposa was the perfect choice. It is a tropical bed and breakfast nestled in flowering gardens,... more

I stayed in 4 places in Belize over a 3 week holiday and Mariposa was the best. However, Peter and Marcia Fox have sold the property and I was given to understand that it is being converted into a private house! Marcia told me that I was the "next to last guest". When I left I went to Robert's Grove... more

What a treasure. We were welcomed at the airport by one of the owners Marcia Fox, and then taken to Mariposa Beach just a few minutes away. What a lovely property, you first go down the driveway that is just incredible. There are several wonderful varieties of flowers, and trees. And then you come upon a small cottage and the... more

My nine year old daughter and I came to Mariposa Beach Suites after staying at Turtle Inn just down the beach. Peter and Marcia Fox were the most gracious hosts. Three days was not enough. Marcia arranged a snorkeling excursion for us and taxis into town. I never had to use the phone once. It was the perfect getaway from... more

We spent the first 4 nights of our first trip ever to Belize at Mariposa and just loved it. The grounds were beautiful--all kinds of flowering plants, hummingbirds, iguanas and such. Our suite was very nicely decorated, and very very clean, with a beautiful view of the beach and the water. Our kitchen was stocked enough with fruit, cheese, wine,... more

The suites are immaculately clean, stylish and well furnished, with a really comfortable bed, sitting area, en-suite bathroom, and a full kitchen - including Marcia's great zucchini... more

We spent three wonderful nights at Mariposa. The beach is beautiful, and you can leave the two sets of French doors open to view the sea all night long. We stayed in one of the two suites. It is spacious, clean, and airy. There is a full kitchen, private bathroom, very comfortable bed (the most comfortable bed I found out... more

If you want something more intimate and personal than a hotel in Placencia, let me tell you about Mariposa. This is the private home of Marcia and Peter Fox, a charming couple who moved to Placencia several years ago from Marin County, California. They offer two ground-floor suites, each with a bedroom, bath and full kitchen. Although several good restaurants... more

We just returned from a week at Mariposa Beach Suites. If you want to have 175' of the best beach on the lower peninsula to share with only 2 other people, walk the most beautiful gardens, have privacy, leave 8' of doors open to the beach while you sleep, this is the place for you. The hardest decision was which... more
