MARIPOSA JUNGLE LODGE

The owners were very friendly and fun and I highly recommend staying here.

Good wifi.
Nice hot showering water.
Very natural place.

We stayed the MJL for 3 nights and it was a great experience. The property was beautiful and the lodges were clean and comfortable. The staff was great. They were very attentive and accommodating. They helped us book all of the activities we wanted to do before we got to Belize. They also set us up with a ride into San Ignacio last minute to see the town. I highly recommend getting their food packages. They served restaurant level authentic Belizean food. After just 3 days we didn't want to leave.

If you're traveling to this area in Belize this is a must stay. They have Hiking trails and a bird tower for bird watching. And the service and food are fantastic.

In short, this is an amazing little property! We had a group of 7 (adults) that reserved the Jungle/Bneach package in tandem with the Xanadu Resort on Ambergris Caye. Mariposa has only 9 casitas. We took 4 of them. We had the resort to ourselves and it was fantastic. Glad, the manager, welcomed us to the resort and made feel completely at home. Robby, the bartender, server and great host offered fantastic FRESH Watermelon, Pineapple or Hibiscus Mojitos.
Our casitas are comfortable and unbelievably clean.
Our package included a trip to the Mayan Ruins - Caracol. Our guide Agusto was a wealth of knowledge. The trip included hiking into caves, seeing howler monkeys and all kinds of birds. A must do trip.
Just a few minutes from the resort is a Butterfly and Hummingbird garden - also a don't miss. They go through 8 lbs. of sugar a day just feeding the hummingbirds. Fantastic.
But I would be remiss not to include Norma & Civilla - They run the kitchen. The food is wonderful, creative and totally worth the trip.

On our trip back, we all agreed - WE MISS NORMA!!
Thanks to the rest of the staff - Rosa, Luis, Eddy, Vicente & Maritza
