Well just returned from Playa del Carmen 06/01-06/09 (3rd time). We had decided at the last minute (1 month ) to plan to go. Well first the hotel we have stayed in the past was booked and it was a perfect location off 5th and next to the beach. So I started to look at my options for what we... more

I read many of the reviews before I selected this hotel and it met every expectation. I even treasured the hard beds! At the north end of the tourist district, it is away from the clubs but easy walking distance to everything you need. Many restaurants are within a block or two. The beach is only a few blocks away... more

With three of my friends I went to Posada Mariposa in PDC. We loved the place. We had two rooms; one standard plus and one junior suite both on the third floor. The one overlooking the 5th avenue was a bit noisy but since there is a separate door between the kitchenette and the bedroom, it stopped most of the... more

This place is just as it appears in the pictures- it's so eclectic and sweet- but good Lord- I woke up every hour- the beds are SOOO Hard! It's such a shame too... it's a great location, the guys at the front desk were wonderful, and it's beautiful- I hate to even say it- but my fiance and I said... more

My wife and I stayed 4 nights. We had a ground floor standard room. We selected this hotel because of the majority of positive reviews on this web site of this hotel. We were surprised on how noisy it was 24 hours a day. We normally do not sleep with the air conditioner on, but we had to turn it... more

My wife, my cousin and I stayed here from Feb 15-24 and loved it. We had the mini suite which had two beds and a kitchenette. We were there for a friends wedding, which most of the guests stayed at the "The Royal." We wanted to experience with a little more culture and decided to stay away from the all... more

I travel to Playa all the time, and have stayed in multiple hotels, but I really like the Posada Mariposa. It is on la Quinta Avenida (5th Ave) on the north side, but has consistently been one of the best values. This last trip was positively excellent. We arrived early and they kept our bags till our room was ready.... more

This hotel has a charming courtyard area and the staff is pleasant. The place is very clean and AC worked well. Room was on the small side (I had a standard ground floor unit). The location right on 5th Avenue was terrific. My biggest complaints were: There is no parking at the hotel itself. So, beware if you have a... more

I stayed at Posada Mariposa at very beginning of October 2008 and spent 4 nights. It is not a luxury hotel but had everything I needed. I had a such a good time there, felt like home and very safe even I was travelling alone. Very warm, nice atmosphere, very helpful and nice people. They are always there to answer... more
