My mother and I just returned from a 5 night stay at the Posada Mariposa. We both enjoyed our time very much at this quaint little hotel. I've traveled for work and pleasure quite a bit and stayed in all kinds of accomodations( from hostels and Motel 6's, mainstream Hyatts, Marriots, to luxury and boutique hotels such as those of... more

I recently stayed at the Mariposa with my sweetheart for a duration of four nights and absolutely loved my stay. Like most of you, i checked out the reviews before hand but I was more than impressed when I actually got there. My man Axel and the rest of the front desk crew couldn't possibly be any nicer or any... more

This little hotel was perfect for a week stay in Playa. It was very cozy and not hyped up like all the resorts and other hotels. My boyfriend and I loved the location ( 2 minute walk to the beach), right on the strip, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. It was just a great atmosphere to be... more

We had a little difficulty finding the Posada Mariposa, as it's on a pedestrian-only street. We arrived an hour earlier than the stated check-in time, and were told that our room wasn't ready yet. Not a big deal, we just wanted to park our bags and go to the beach anyway, but then we were told that our room would... more

On outstanding surprise on all counts! I found this gem online and although prebooking Mexico hotels has been problematic in the past, my experience was flawless from booking through having to say goodbye. E-mails were answered quickly, check in was a breeze, the staff are spot on and the location at the more subdued north end of the avenue was... more

As a budget traveler this hotel is great for the price. We found an online deal that was $20 a night less than the walk in rate. Feel free to email me to talk prices. In a quiet area, all the rooms face towards the interior courtyard of plants, trees and vines. A wooden table and two chairs were outside... more

I chose this hotel as it is near a condo I am buying. What a GREAT hotel! Friendly, helpful staff and beautiful tropical atrium lobby great you when you first arrive. I was led to my room on the third (top) floor - it wasnt huge, but it had a queen and full bed, and a very ample bathroom. The... more

I´ve been to playa del carmen several times now, and got the opportunity to try and compare different hotels. A friend of mine first told me about Posada Mariposa in 2005; that was my first time at Mariposa. Since then, when I´m in playa del carmen Posada Mariposa is like my home: small and cozy. The rooms are very clean... more

We stayed in this hotel for 6 nights and were very pleased with friendly service, location to the beach and 5th av. The entire place is very "non chain" and has a romantic rustic feel. Do LOCK all your valuables inside provided safe. On the last day, we went to the beach at 6am and left some cache in a... more
