“Wow !”

La Selva Mariposa

2/2 found this review helpful

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. It was a nice way to end our trip...Thanks again Lou and Mary. And again wow !

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 go back and stay for at least a week! The proximity to Tulum, Coba, Cancun, numerous cenotes, Mayan ruins, beaches and other adventures off the beaten path was perfect, though we still felt incredibly secluded. The craftsmanship of each cabana and the creativity and impecable taste throughout was to die for. There is absolutely nothing negative to say, it is perfect.

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 -- ruins, beach, cenotes, biosphere reserve. Our stay was incredible and we would recommend it to anyone. The accommodations and food were excellent, the grounds were beautiful, and hosts Moe & Lou couldn't have been more helpful on everything. We spent a lot of time in the hammocks and in the private pools -- what fun we had! If you want privacy, relaxation and peace -- we highly recommend La Selva Mariposa.

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 lap of luxury!
It's very nice to get back there after a day exploring the area. And the night sky is phenomenal. We don't remember seeing that many stars for a long time.
In the morning a beautiful setting welcomes you for a yummy breakfast to be enjoyed at your own pace.
With all this care and pampering, we left feeling like coming back soon to enjoy more of our hosts company and their interesting stories at the paradisaic La Selva Mariposa.
Thanks for creating a great memory,
Mark and Elisa

“Relaxing the the Jungle”

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 than worthwhile. I recommend La Selva Mariposa to anyone that wants to relax and re-connect with themselves and nature. Thanks!
