Mariposa
Soaring to New Heights in 2016 (continued)
By: April Brown
In the past, Mariposa offered three lovely beachfront suites for their guests. The stunning and spacious suites have been a Trip Advisor favorite! With 2016 quickly approaching, Bruce and Sharon knew they wanted to expand to include more options for their guests. Expansion for resorts in Belize can be a difficult venture as there is so much to consider from an ecological perspective. The founders of Mariposa, along with the top-notch local construction company, Arregis Construction, put their heads together and came up with a solution: rustic tree houses. The six expansive tree houses are nestled amongst the forest on Mariposa’s property. Tastefully decorated through local vendors, Mariposa is happy to announce the expansion will allow larger groups to visit and experience the magic of Belize.
Offering an outdoor pool and a seafront restaurant, Mariposa Belize Beach Resort is located right on the beach in Placencia. Mariposa now has 10 units available for accommodations plus a restaurant, bar and a pool.
Suites at the Mariposa feature functional décor, air conditioning, air purifiers and ceiling fans. The main villa has a 2 bedroom Penthouse suite + 3 Caribbean facing studio units. Plus 6 of our units are stand alone buildings called tree houses because they are built in the 50 year old trees on our 2 acres. They are large units with different bed configurations; 2 have king size beds and a set of bunk beds, 2 have a queen size bed and a set of bunk beds and 2 have double queen size beds..
At Mariposa Belize Beach Resort you will find a private beach area, a tour desk and luggage storage. An array of activities can be enjoyed in the surroundings, including cycling, snorkelling and sailing.
All Units now include 50 inch Smart TVs with streaming capability, all rooms include free WiFi, Irons have been added and air purifiers have been added to all rooms
