La Selva Mariposa My husband and I stayed at the Mariposa, West wing, room #1 for nine days in March. The whole experience was absolutely wonderful. I won’t go on and on about Moe and Lou, the proprietors, as all reviewers seem to have the same thought and feelings about them and it’s true. They are wonderful, creative people who... more

La Selva Mariposa is a wonderful little B&B-like place. The rooms are meticulously decorated with love, the breakfast is delicious and filling, and the proprietors, Mo and Lou are always helpful and full of useful information and travel expertise. The rooms are scattered on a large piece of property that has beautiful paths through the forest/jungle. The hotel is located... more

Management response from
selvamariposa, owner

We replaced the hot water heater which took care of both the pressure and temperature problem. As far as towels, we do replace towels sooner if requested or on a 3-day basis if not. We do try and think of the ecology in all our decisions, but guest request come first.

Located 20 kms from Tulum on the road to Coba, La Selva Mariposa is a little jungle hideaway. Without directions you would never be able to find it. I think having a car is essential if you want to stay here. The owners Moe and Lou have put a lot of time and effort into developing their property and it... more

We were delighted to find ourselves at La Selva Mariposa, especially after feeling overwhelmed by the resortiness of Playa del Carmen. Truly a relaxed paradise, we stayed in the new Suite 4, which was a wonderful Valentine's Day treat! Our bedroom, sitting room, patio and waterfall were all perfect. And the open air shower was absolutely lovely -- whether by... more

The grounds were beautiful and the rooms were tastefully decorated and were very clean. I loved the waterfall next to the room. both moe and lou were eager to tell about what... more

Wow ! This was the last place we did in Mexico and it was amazing ! I still can't believe they built this little paradise. It's the most beautiful place I've seen so far...The rooms are big, nice and clean. I love the way they decorated everything. The land is gorgeous and the pools are lovely. Loved the dogs too.... more

La Selva Mariposa is a gorgeous, cozy, unique, clean and beautiful place to stay. We were so lucky to have stayed for a night in January on our way up to Cancun, but incredibly sad that we were unable to stay any longer. The owners are wonderful. They were so welcoming, warm, friendly, informative, generous and caring. We're dying to... more

We stayed the entire week at La Selva Mariposa and couldn't wait to come back to the relaxation and gorgeous setting each afternoon after a day of activities. Actually, our last day we cut our activity short so we could return to the B&B to relax and swim in the pools! La Selva was centrally located for everything we did... more

Moe and Lou have the perfect getaway if you want to enjoy peace and beauty in the same place. Their Bed and Breakfast is kept clean, cozy and very welcoming. Walking around you will see how much thought was put into the construction and tasteful decoration of the Casitas, making their place very unique and classy. We were in the... more

This bed and breakfast is a hidden mini-pardise with the benefits of a private resort. Hidden in the jungle 10 minutes from downtown Tulum, we relaxed in our casita listening to the bustling yet soothing sounds of the jungle and our private waterfalls. The breakfasts were delicious and the hosts, Moe and Lou, were very amiable and made the trip... more
