Mariposa Belize Beach Resort
10/10 Excellent
"Customer Service was the best we have ever received from any place of stay. Amazing Restaurant/Bar and staff. They really went above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Our treehouse room was better than expected. "
"Clemence (the owner) was right there and checked me in the second floor with all amenities and views I just needed for now. Very friendly staff and quiet surrounding, restaurants and shopping is nearby, also bus terminal less than 10 mins on foot. "
"Modest but nicely appointed, comfortable and clean. Friendly, helpful staff. Great ocean views if you can land one of the water-facing rooms. Breakfast was made to order and excellent. This is a well-run property."
"The room was amazing, we loved the plunge pool area, the room was spacious and open, and despite being close to the pool bar it was nice and quiet. The staff was above and beyond, always a warm greeting and their ability to remember names/faces is so impressive, we will definitely stay again!"
"Beautiful boutique experience with spacious, clean rooms, wonderful staff, a delicious hot breakfast to order, a great bartender and lovely pool and beach. We did not take advantage of all of the amenities, but they also have an outdoor yoga studio, paddle boards and kayaks. On a personal note, we were unable to get to our intended destination and had to book Kalimera last minute and they immediately turned a bad day into everything we had hoped for during our last days in Belize. Thank you, thank you!"
