Enjoy the view while having breakfast. Enjoy the view while sipping on your cocktail.
Kids-friendly place.
We enjoyed our stay and would love to come back again.
Big thanks to Fardeen, Varun, Rahul, Pritam and the rest of the staff, who are very friendly and accommodating.
Thank you!

Beautiful place, and the staff is very friendly. Thank you! ​One remark regarding the restaurant: the food was not quite what we expected. The Caesar salad was a major disappointment—just a few slices of chicken, almost no dressing, no croutons, and some crumbs instead of Parmesan cheese. We also ordered breaded prawns but received something more like 'doughnuts,' served with sauce in a bottle cap... ​When the servers are busy, the bartender and manager should help out instead of just sitting and chatting at the bar while watching the waitstaff run back and forth. A special thanks to Harry, though—a very friendly and wonderful person.

The service in the hotel and the restaurant was perfect! Fardeen was great and satisfied all of our requests. Even during their national holiday he managed to organize a special dinner for us! Thank you, Fardeen! The atmosphere was nice, with private beach, pool and garden. The rooms are spacious and well isolated from the noise outside. What can be better is the cleanness. As a whole we stayed satisfied and we would visit again.

The hotel offers good service, and breakfast with an ocean view is a buffet with plenty of variety. There's a swimming pool and sun loungers on the beach. It's convenient enough that you don't need to leave the hotel premises. However, the sea entrance isn't great, with many rocks and channels. For dinner, there are only two dishes to choose from, and for half-board guests, dinner starts quite late, so you often have to buy extra food during the day. There's not much outside the hotel; the nearest shop is a kilometer away on the main road. But the hotel does have an à la carte restaurant.

We stayed in 2022.

Positives - Great views and nice breakfast. The morning walks along the beach was out of this world.

Negatives - It was extremely stressful finding parking at the premises and often we had to park far away or end our day early to ensure we had parking. The staff did not really care if we could not find parking. No one seemed overly bothered. Which is not comparable to other hotels of this calibre elsewhere across the world where the staff would go above and beyond to assist with any issues. The hotel was hard to get to due to the many narrow and unpaved roads. The parking also had pot holes that almost broke my small rental car. Near a cemetary which is not ideal.

We can heartly recommend Mariposa Hotel with their Team and the Location close to Flic en Flac and Le Mourne with the beautiful beaches with a lot of possible water activities.

Go there and enjoy your time

Beautiful property with beautiful views. The food is great and the staff is friendly. Since we were vegetarians, the Chef even went ahead and prepared vegetarian dishes for us. Only negative thing is that there was no house keeping done during our stay but that was okay.

The hotel is located in the west, offering a pool and private beach. Parking is to the left of the main entrance. The rooms are very quiet, and the courtyard is a large garden. In the evening, you can enjoy a drink and chat at the garden bar, and a buffet breakfast is included in the morning. The hotel offers whale-watching boat reservations, but they must be booked in advance. The public dock for whale-watching boats and the beach are also close by. A-Po's Restaurant, a well-known Chinese restaurant, is also 2 kilometers away.
