Great view!

Stayed at the Mariposa for 4 nights, with a partial view of the ocean. Rooms clean and basic. Bathroom slightly unusual - toilet one end of room, shower round the corner! Good breakfeast buffet. Staff friendly. Wifi reception weak. Shop has good quality souvenirs, cheaper than others.

Wunderschöne Lage mit freundlichem Personal

Nach einem feinem Begrüssungsdrink, konnten wir den Sonnenuntergang vom Pool aus geniessen. Das Personal war steht's sehr freundlich und die Aussicht fantastisch. Das Essen war zu teuer obwohl es gut war. Wir würden gerne wieder gehen.
