Hotel Posada Mariposa Review

You probably have walked past the Hotel Posada Mariposa many times on 5th Avenue and not really noticed it. It is a small hotel that has been around for years with only a small entryway on the street. It is easy to miss since there is so much to see on that block. We have seen it online and the prices seemed really good, so, we went to check it out. Here is our review.

Like everything on our website, we visit it, test it out and report back to you.

What are the rooms like at this hotel?

The rooms here a small and basic. They are clean and more comfortable than you might expect. The rooms are perfectly adequate for a short stay in Playa Del Carmen. By short stay, we mean a few days, but not more that 4 nights.

There are 30 rooms here in 4 categories. Some rooms face 5th Avenue, which can mean, a view of the street and lighter. However, if you are in the back of the hotel, it is quieter. It can be dark in the rooms, which some people like especially in the morning.

For the average price these rooms go for, you do get a good value for your money.

The bathrooms are older in style and small but work for this budget accommodation.

The central courtyard is what makes this hotel special. Since this hotel is older, it has grown a nice garden with lots of plants and tall trees. This really gives the place a tropical and calm feel to it.
