Every was perfect! We literally got off the plane, Oliver already had all 5 of our bags pulled and ready for our ride with Derrick. Literally everything we needed was provided by the owner. We have syayed in rentals all over the world and this was by far my favorite. We are already planning our return and we got home late yesterday. The owner even called me today as we were unable to say goodbye when we left.

Multi-Family Vacation
What an amazing week spent at Mariposa Del Mar!! The pictures in the VRBO listing do not do this property justice. The views from all common spaces and bedrooms were stunning. We all were able to relax as the house was spacious and had friendly staff and security. We were lucky enough to eat multiple delicious meals prepared by Rosa and Happy, and we were freely able to use the car each day we wanted to go out. We also utilized Derrick and Oscar when we wanted someone to drive us instead. Jessica and the cleaning staff did an excellent job when they came by on Monday and Thursday, and even did our laundry!
The kitchen was very well stocked with dishes, cups, pots, pans, etc., we never had any issues cooking any of our meals. There is a cabinet of games, and so many books located throughout the property. The pool was inviting and came with a few floaties as well!
We enjoyed an afternoon at the spa, snorkeling around the docks, and kayaking, all of which were provided by the property. There were friendly dogs and cats that came to visit, which our kids loved. This place made it difficult to want to leave and explore other parts of the island, it was just that relaxing!!!

Holiday getaway
We were fortunate to have found Mariposa Del Mar for our Christmas/New Year's vacation; as it was just what we needed - a perfect mix of rustic luxury.
Loved being able to kayak and snorkel out to the reef right offshore. there's even a small reef outcrop that's right off the dock.
The property staff is very helpful - the day and night team tending to whatever our needs were; Rosa, the property cook, cooked three delicious meals for us. And Derek the boat guide and driver, who showed us around the island. Phillipe, the property manager was easy to get a hold of and helpful with things that would pop up.
definitely recommend.

Peaceful Paradise with 5 Star Service
Our group of 6 live extremely busy, stressful lives in the northeastern US and planned our getaway to relax and restore.
Mariposa del Mar more than delivered on their description of the location, amenities and luxury.
If you are looking for raucous nightlife this is not the property for you but even so, those type of activities are close enough to enjoy if you so choose.
Snorkeling off the dock was some of the best we saw; however, our trips to Pigeon Key and other snorkel locations with Derek also delivered some amazing experiences.
Rosa, Bruce, Phillipe, Nicky, et al. were wonderful to work with and get to know. Bruce repeatedly encouraged us to embrace "island time" and we certainly tried our best.
The beautiful art work in the shop on the property was amazing and we brought a few pieces home to relive our wonderful time.
Other reviews mention that the pictures do not do it justice and we agree. The property and villas are gorgeous and the service impeccable.
This is a must visit location!

Like a Private Resort
Where to even begin about this wonderful place?! The home is much more beautiful than the pictures even suggest. The location is ocean front, and has great sunsets. It was private, safe, clean, and endlessly fun. We stayed on property for most of our stay, taking advantage of the resort like amenities and living in our swimsuits between the pool and the reef in front of the house. We had Rosa cook for us every night, which was really wonderful and delicious. Taking the private boat out for the day from the dock was a real treat, and took us to the best spots on the island without worrying about driving or parking or crowds. The house had a hot tub, which was a delightful surprise. Great snorkeling right off the dock, and easy access to the reef via kayaks (but probably for the more adventurous snorkelers who don’t mind solitude). Lots of security and staff, cats, dogs, and birds. Gift shop, spa, and pizza palapa were all adorable and fun and really made the whole property feel like our own fully staffed private island. Thank you Bruce & Nikki for a truly exceptional stay - it could not have been more beautiful, and we can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful and pampered vacation
This is a fabulous and beautiful property! Everything we wanted for a getaway. The airport pickup was a treat and when a couple members of our party arrived on a slightly earlier flight, the driver took them to a near by grocery store to stock up while waiting for our flight.
The bedrooms were all beautiful, beds comfortable, the views from the upper and lower deck serene. We snorkeled right off the dock out front everyday of our 2 week stay spying new creatures every day. Rosa cooked for us nearly half of the evening meals which made us feel so cared for. Her food was delicious. The kitchen had everything we needed for any kind of meal prep. All of us used the spa services on site at least once or twice. It was so convenient to have the car available for exploring which we took advantage of and checked out several locations mostly on the east end of the island. Only one day did we go up to West Bay as we were so happy with what we had available. A couple members of our group also took advantage of the golfing and really enjoyed the course. The ocean, the pool, the hot tub, all enjoyed over and over again. If a lot of nightlife in bars is your thing, I would choose another property. If you want to enjoy the people you are with and enjoy your day outings and the comforts around you, this place cannot be beat. It went beyond all of our hopes. What's not to love!

Beautiful Island Paradise
Our family stayed for one week at Mariposa Del Mar. The views and the property are beautiful! We had so much space to enjoy our time on the island. The staff was helpful, very friendly and accommodating. We took advantage of Pizza Night at the Palapa and it tasted so good! The dogs and cats are very friendly on the property. We had AC in all of the bedrooms but not in the main house (that would be nice to have AC in the main house). Otherwise, the place is open , airy and bright. The pool and jacuzzi were perfect places to chill after a long day playing on the island. Thank you to the staff and owners, we loved our trip to Roatan!!!

No reason to leave this amazing property.
This place was incredible. It is well appointed with all the amenities you could ask for. Views from every room are amazing and there are so many places throughout the property to relax and take it all in. The Kitchen is very well stocked and has professional quality appliances. The staff keeps the entire property immaculate though out your stay. Windows and doors can be left open to enjoy the ocean breeze or closed tight to keep out unwanted bugs. Beds were mainly memory foam and linens are top quality. Drinking water and ice is provided and the entire house is fed by a well so water is safe to brush your teeth with.
The snorkeling right in front of the house is one of the best I have ever encountered with a wide variety of fish and plant life to explore (rivaling to St John and Bonair). Or you can take the kayaks out to the reef and explore for hours.
There are many pets on this property and they are all super friendly! We had a resident cat that stayed with us most of the time with other cats and dogs popping by randomly to say hello. We are huge animal lovers so it really enhanced our stay.
The truck provided was great for exploring the rest of the island but honestly we loved just staying put and relaxing by the pool and swimming in the ocean.
If you are looking for total relaxation where you have everything you need in one place this is your spot. We can't wait to return and plan to bring some friends next time.
