The staff was so kind and helpful. They went out of their way to make sure we felt comfortable. Our lodging was perfect with so many amenities including blender, toaster, refrigerator, utensils and hot plate. They even had darts and pingpong next to the pool. The food was Delicious and the chefs were so accomodating. We loved every minute of our stay. It was easy to get to Big Rock Falls which was our favorite!
Mariposa Jungle Lodge is the perfect place for a special occasion or weekend getaway. The staff is super hospitable and are very willing to answer any questions and accomodate any requests that you have. The food is top notch and the grounds are very well kept. I would highly recommend Mariposa for a 10/10 experience.
When we arrived we were met by Leo who was our contact for the entire stay. He was our bartender, waiter, and tour guide. Leo made our vacation memorable, he went above and beyond. The resort was beautiful and all the employees where friendly and did everything to make sure we were comfortable and happy. When we go back to San Ignacio we will be staying at this resort again. The food was amazing.
Everything was wonderful. The only critique would be the restaurant. The portion sizes were very small and the food price was high, but it was great food! Other than that, amazing accomodations!
Room was beautiful, comfortable, clean, spacious! The staff was so helpful and gracious. The food was simple but superbly prepared and everything stood out for its freshness. The property was beautiful, the hikes were as advertised and the excursions were well worth the money and hosted by knowledgeable and very interesting people! This place exceeded expectations and we plan to tell our friends about it and hope to return again!
We absolutely loved our stay at Mariposa’s Iguana Family Treehouse! With its slightly magical deck we spotted toucans and listened to howler monkeys. We meandered on the trails, used the yoga deck, and enjoyed the pool and family foosball challenges. The staff doted on us and surpassed expectations, teaching us about the rich cultural history and organizing our transports and excursions. Robelvi and Luis were attentive to dietary restrictions and simply charming while serving delicious meals under the outdoor lights. My family loved everything about Mariposa!

This was a beautiful resort and they were very accommodating. Everyone was very friendly. We were a part of a wedding group so we got to hear about some other places and Mariposa Jungle resort is the place we will be staying again!
The staff was great, helpful, available when needed, the property was beautiful maintained, pool was beautiful, walking trails, well lit up at night so getting around was easy. The staff had great recommendations and over all we had a wonderful and would definitely recommend staying here.
On a side note, we had a kitchen in our cabana and it could have used a few additional items for easier cooking. Otherwise , everything was great!.
We had a wonderful stay. The staff was friendly, helpful and accommodating to our children. The property is beautiful, fun to explore and well-maintained. Our meals were great and we would highly recommend a visit here.

The room was very comfortable and the hiking trails are great. We ate at the restaurant only once because it was quite expensive but the food was good. There is nothing to do after dark at this resort. We were out all day on excursions so we never got to use the pool. A hot tub would have been really nice to use at night. They have a sauna but there is an extra charge to use it.
Beautiful location. Easy access to all the sites in the area. Staff were great. My family had some dietary restrictions, and the food was incredible. They really go out of their way to make your stay special.
Amazing lodge in the jungle. Staff knew every guest by name. Staff went over and beyond to make us feel at home with home cooked meals with Chef Norma and even aided with laundry services. Don't look any where else for value and hospitality.
The property is an awesome setting in the jungle with nice hiking trails and pool. The staff was excellent and they went out of their way to help when my wife got injured off site. It is close to many sites of interest in the pine ridge area but not too far from town.
Mariposa Jungle Lodge was a wonderful place to stay and base for adventuring in and around San Ignacio. Blue Morpho Lodge was perfect for our family of six. Two bedrooms, a small but very functional kitchen (two burner counter stove, toaster oven, toaster, mini fridge and basic dish ware), and patio. Easy to get in to San Ignacio, to bidet for day tripping in Guatamala, and easy ride to beautiful outdoor sites like Rio on Pools.
Excellent stay here. The seclusion in the forest is a major plus. Best mixed drinks I had during my whole stay in Belize, including on Ambergris Caye. Food was excellent and home cooked. When looking back on this trip, I'll remember our great time here. Was very relaxing and felt authentic. Pool was smaller but nice. Staff is small, and very courteous and attentive. Rooms and the restaurant was very clean.. also a small gift shop on site was nice. The bungalos were very neat with a nice fans and air conditioning. Choosing this lodge was the best decision I made on our trip.
Mariposa Jungle Lodge is such an incredible place! Its located near towns and San Ignacio, along with the Pine Reserve. It was a great location to explore the Cayo area from.
The staff were very kind, thoughtful, and helpful. Robelvi gave us great recommendations and helped us plan some really fun adventures to a butterfly sanctuary and local swimming spots and waterfalls.
The dining option was fantastic - excellent food and services. They made everything really special and the attention to detail was really great.
Super clean with everything we needed. The pool was a fun place to relax and we enjoyed the hiking trails and bird watching tower.
After being at the beach for several days, I wasn't sure what to think about making a change - but I'm so thankful we visited Cayo and stayed at Mariposa. It was the prefect combination of adventure and relaxing. My kids absolutely loved it!
Mariposa was perfect for our trip to Belize. The staff was terrific! Everyone was super friendly. While cell phone reception was spotty, the property does have very good Internet service. It was also nice that laundry service was provided at extra cost. The Mariposa Jungle Lodge is also ECO conscious.
We signed up for the breakfast and dinner plan (or you can order off a menu). Plenty of "home cooked" food and everyday something different. The bar offered beers, wines, and mixed drinks. Loved the "Belizian Tea".
We wanted to focus on the western side of the country and see the Maya archaeological sites. The Mariposa Jungle Lodge property was perfectly situated. While we were able to get around in a 2WD SUV, a 4WD is recommended when you get off of the main roads.
