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!
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!.
Peaceful and lovely stay!! The room was very clean. Staff is great!! Would stay again.

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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
We enjoyed our stay at Mariposa, the tone was set the moment we arrived. We checked in late and I went to go run in to give our information, our server Robby insured that he needed to greet us properly and asked all our guests to come in for a welcome drink which we thoroughly enjoyed, the kitchen was also waiting on to offer us dinner before they went home for the evening. We stayed in blue morpho which was close to the pool and bar. There was accessible parking. Staff was accompanying to all our needs whether it was supplying us with a cooler or packing us breakfast to go for our excursion.
Please keep in mind you are in the JUNGLE, there are bugs, they are hard to avoid and they will be in your room no matter how nice. Please watch for ticks, two members of our party got ticks from the hammock.
There is jungle noise all night, yelling weasels, curious monkeys. Enjoy these rare moments you may never get to witness again.
The property had more amenities we weren’t able to take advantage of such as the bird tower but I recommend you do if time allows. Property is very close to mountain pine ridge park. San Ignacio town is approximately 20 minutes away so I recommend a car if you plan on visiting town.
My only complaint is that 2/4 days we noticed housekeeping left our door unlocked after leaving.
Overall nice property… however I would encourage them to post more pictures of the rooms and bathrooms. The bathroom was tinyyyy. And I am a 5’2 petite woman. Also it quite far from town and they will charge you a pretty penny to simply take you to town 20 minutes away… so please rent a car before going or else you have to book an excursion with them or pay for a taxi with huge tourist tax or you will be stuck on the resort!! Also expect automatic gratuity. Sign…. Food portions are also very small….But it’s nice to be in the jungle ig lol
What a wonderful stay!!! Our lodge (Iguana Lodge) was clean, roomy, and comfortable. The grounds are beautiful, including the walking path and bird observation tower. We spent the mornings on our deck bird-watching (parrots, toucans, macaws). The pool was small and refreshing. Drinks were delicious (we did not eat on site, but the food smelled great). Hospitality and customer service was outstanding.
This place was wonderful and would recommend it! We stayed for one night only, wish we had had more time there.
We were welcomed by a friendly face, with a refreshing drink waiting for us. Got a quick tour before showing us to our room. It was a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. One thing I was quite disappointed about, was that they did not have a play pen or crib available for my baby. So that meant a sleepless night for us (we are not used to having baby in the bed)
Also the pool was quite dirty (leaves and junk floating on top) so we did not use the pool as we had hoped.
Otherwise, everything was great!
