This is a delightful little hotel, the rooms are built around a central courtyard that is full of plants. The rooms have windows overlooking the courtyard so it feels like you are looking outside. The hotel is located on the pedestrian only part of 5th Avenue - and there are many restaurants and shops to browse through in the area.... More

Posada Mariposa is a great value for its location right on Playa del Carmen’s northern popular 5th Avenue and close to Playa’s best beach. They offer free beach towels and a great deal on one of the best beach clubs - Mamita’s Beach Club (45 pesos). The lobby is cute and inviting and the staff is friendly. We stayed in... More

The hotel was ok. I didnt expect much. Staffs were friendly. However, they advertised free wi...There is NEVER Wifi..so dont bother bringing your laptop, i wasted luggage space, thinking there is wifi there. Other than that, great place to just sleep for the night. We were out most of the day and slept at night. More

The hotel has a couple of minor good points, so I will get them out of the way quickly. The front desk staff is mostly efficient, the lobby, as depicted online is nice, and wi-fi is free in the rooms. Now for the things that pretty much made this the worst vacation of my life: I booked this hotel based... More

Not sure I can understand other reviews- we had 2 rooms, very average quality and needing update- with many things not working- air con, lost door keys, wifi not working anywhere, rooms not ready on time-and location seemingly close to beach but not really- quite a lot of street noise- otherwise good location on 5th Av (shops and restaurants all...

I stayed for 3 nights at the Posada Mariposa. Jorge, Alejandra, Gisel, and Liliana (the receptionists) are wonderful: friendly, helpful, and nice. The rooms are reasonably priced, clean, with all the necessary amenities. The location is great: 5 minutes to the beach (with beach towels provided by the hotel) and right on Avenida Quinta. I look forward to staying there... More

Me and 11 friends stayed six days in Playa del Carmen staying at Posada Mariposa. Our first printout was very good since the arrival ... we were greeted by a very friendly receptionist called Gisel ... we had no difficulty with the language infirm, because the hostel staff is multilingual. The decor is rustic, very cozy, and there are plants,... More

Everyone was so nice. Great service. That was the best. Loved the location, close to everything and 10 min walk to beach. Our room wasn't on 5th avenue, so the noise level was lower. We were on the second floor over looking the lobby, which was beautiful. Loved the fact that you could sit and drink or play cards throughout... More

We are terribly sorry of what happened. Our recepcionist really thought moving you to another room would solve the problems you reported but unfortunately he could not give you satisfaction. We hope you will give us another chance to be your hotel choice during your next stay in Playa del Carmen. More

We were really pleased with this hotel. Location fantastic, close to everything yet in not so noisy part of main street. Clean room, very pleasant look of the hotel both outside and inside, free wi-fi, drinking chilled water, and above all very friendly staff that helped us with hints and directions to local restaurants and places of interest. Stayed 5... More
