Great location, in the middle of town, and a little back from the main road. Nice sized rooms, including kitchen, living area with separate bedroom and bathroom. Free water and fridge. Very clean and well maintained. Staff were generally friendly. My only and biggest issue with Mariposa was/is that on their website/booking forms they clearly state that they take credit... More

This is a bit awkward. On the one hand you have to assume the customer is right, yet on the other after questioning my staff no-one can remember this happening. Of course we do take credit cards. In the event of a machine failure or power outage we can still run a card the old fashioned way on a paper... More

A friend and I stayed for 4 nights at Mariposa Lodge based on the recommendation in Lonely Planet, and we were not dissapointed. While it is not the cheapest option in the West End, you get a lot of value for your money here. The hotel has several rooms in the huge 3-story main house, and 2 smaller outbuildings with... More

Stayed at the Mariposa Lodge over New Years and even though it seems like a year ago, I still have great memories of being there. Did lot's of diving and loved being able to come back to our rooms between dives to make some soup or just relax out on the private back deck in the hammock. The staff were... More

I stayed at the Mariposa Lodge for a week and loved it. Nice place with a hammock on the porch of every room. Room came with a microwave and a fridge and the AC worked great. The room was comfortable and the location is great. Only about a 100 yards from the main street so it is centrally located to... More

We have stayed in a couple of places in Roatan, and despite Mariposa being a bit set-back from the street without a waterview/access -- we still prefer Mariposa and the leafy canopy with a short walk to the beach vs. being eaten alive by sandflies or standed on coral-cutting shorelines (still) far from sandy beaches... We have stayed in Mariposa's... More

We booked a week at Mariposa lodge for our honeymoon in Roatan. We found the apartment to be very comfortable and had everything we needed. We chose not to go with A/C and found it didnt really get very hot inside anyway. The ceiling fans were enough to move some cool air around. The apartment was very clean and kitchen... More

The Mariposa Lodge is a lovely place. It has a real island vibe. I had a great experience staying there. Hammocks and mangoes everywhere. It is a great value and location right in the middle of West End, but close to the watertaxi stand to West Bay. Plus they have a super helpful staff of local islanders.

I picked this place because of the great reviews on TA as well as a top mention in Lonely Planet. I had 4 nights planned in West End but after 1 night I wanted to check out of this place. It may have once been great but there are some serious problems with it now. Pros Basic kitchen facilities in... More

I’m very sorry you folks didn’t find the Mariposa Lodge to your liking. As you noted, the lodge caters to mid-range backpackers looking for in-room cooking facilities, comfort and security on a very tight budget. Unfortunately the free Wi-Fi we provide is limited in range and speed. Handheld devises with small antennas are often unable to pick up the signal... More

If you're looking for big comfortable rooms with A/C and a friendly and outgoing staff, then Mariposa Lodge is the place for you. Me and my girlfriend spent four nights here and couldn't have been more pleased. It's in stumbling distance to the bars and restaurants, but far enough away to feel hidden and special. Definitely recommend.
