La Selva Mariposa was designed and built by the owners and hosts, Lou and Mari (aka Moe). They are originally from Colorado but thanks to their adventurous spirits, love of people, artistry, and excellent cooking, the traveler to the Riviera Maya can get out of the noise and hustle of the beach scene and relax in the luxury of this... more

My husband and I stayed at La Selva Mariposa for three days of our honeymoon, and we had an excellent experience. We were nervous about traveling to Mexico amid all the bad media, but we were so happy we decided to go. We felt entirely safe and healthy during our whole trip (except for one mild case of turista my... more

My husband and I stayed at La Selva Mariposa a week ago. This was our second trip to this magical hideaway in the jungle. As always, Moe and Lou were the consumate hosts, feeding us wonderful breakfasts and a wealth of knowledge about the area. There is no need to worry about travel in this area. We have been to... more

After five nights at one of the resorts on the beach in Tulum, my husband and I spent two nights in room #2 of La Selva Mariposa as part of our honeymoon. It was, by far, one of the most thoughtfully designed and well-run b&b's we've been to (and we live in New England....the land of b&b's!). The hosts are... more

La Selva Mariposa is almost a destination on it's own. Moe and Lou were wonderful hosts. They have created a beautiful and relaxing place to stay. The rooms were individually designed and furnished with great care. We had a hammock on the front porch and a nice cooling off pool with a waterfall just to the side. At night we... more

We spent 6 great days at La Selva Mariposa in Macario Gomez, Quintana Roo, Mexico. LSM's location between the beaches of Tulum and the fascinating ruins of Coba offers a unique opportunity to stay in the jungle of the Yucatan in the care of two wonderful hosts, Moe and Lou. We have stayed in nice B & B's before, but... more

This certainly has to be the most beautiful, romantic escape from the crowds along the Riviera Maya in all of Mexico! Moe and Lou have created an absolute tropical paradise here. From the charming hosts, to the delectable gourmet breakfasts and the helpful advice about where to go and what to do - this place is absolutely PERFECT! If you... more

My fiancee and I returned a few weeks ago from La Selva Mariposa. What an amazing place Moe and Lou have carved out here in the jungle near the village of Macario Gomez. Getting here is super easy, it's a straight shot to Tulum, take a right at the Coba road and 12 miles later turn into the jungle! We... more

La Selva Mariposa is every bit as delightful and charming as described in other reviews--the rooms, decor, jungle landscaping,cenote-style pools, breakfasts are all terrific. Lou and Mari remind me of the the b&b owners whom we've encountered more in Europe than the U.S, who commit themselves to trying to make your whole time in the area enjoyable, not just the... more

My husband and I just returned from 8 days at La Selva Mariposa, Marcario Gomez, Mexico. From the moment we disembarked our plane to the moment we embarked to go home to Colorado, we were enchanted by this beautiful country and its Mayan people. Not once did we feel that we were in an unsafe situation. It is very easy... more
