The bedrooms were roomy and clean and had plenty of storage space. The kitchen was beyond well equipped right down to the rolling pin. It was a pleasure to stay at Casa Mariposa and we would recommend it to others. ##### Harry This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Carolina 24 Sept 2025 #### Casa Mariposa Me gustó el servicio al cliente, Pablo se comportó increíble. Siempre muy atento no haciendo desde el inicio no hizo distinción entre turistas nacionales o extranjeros. Tuvimos problemas para llegar y él inmediatamente llegó y nos dirigió hasta la casa. La casa muy espaciosa y limpia. Ubicada en un lugar para nosotros perfecto donde queríamos estar rodeados de naturaleza. La casa muy limpia y equipada. Gracias por aceptar mascotas y gracias por hacer conciencia del uso del agua, electricidad y manejo de desechos orgánicos. Lastimosamente el único inconveniente que tuvimos fue en el cuarto grande donde se ubica la lavadora. Los tres días tuvimos problemas con zancudos, ni repelente, ni plaquitas, ni raid ni vic papuru pudieron con ellos. Vimos que hay huecos por el sedaso que de fijo por ahí entran. Pero de verdad no sé que tenían esos zancudos por que con nada morían. Un mosquitero también podría ayudar. La ubicación del waze tiende a perderse un poco ahí entonces eso si se podría mejorar. Pero en general súper bien. ##### Carolina ### 10/10 Excellent #### marianne b. 6 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastisch huis Het huis was heerlijk. Twee grote fijne slaapkamers, twee douches/ badkamer en een grote keuken met vers water unit. Twee gebouwtjes verbonden door grote loggia overdekt waar je heerlijk kan zitten.Contact met de eigenaar super fijn.Heerlijke tuin rondom,helemaal vrij liggend. Enige dat miste waren twee lekkere stoelen . De stoelen waren niet comfortabel genoeg om lang te zitten . Verder was t jammer dat er veel lawaai rondom was van diverse huizen die verbouwd werden echt de hele dag door en muziek uit diverse huizen rondom.We hebben een heerlijke week gehad. Grote tuin rondom en helemaal vrij liggend. ##### marianne b. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2025 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### María Fernanda 2 Apr 2024 #### Primera vez siendo usuaria de Casas del Caribe y fue bastante satisfactorio El sistema de reserva en general fácil y si tenía problemas amablemente y de manera pronta contaba con un buen servicio al cliente (atendieron temas de agua e internet durante la estadía). Sobre la casa, una buena ubicación para visitar toda la zona ( cerca de manzanillo, punta uva y puerto viejo), las fotos son actualizadas y veridicas, como se ve, así es. El jardín muy bonito, la limpieza la valoramos mucho y fue excelente, gracias por eso. Cocina muy equipada, lavadora disponible, buen chorro de agua en las duchas, reglas e instrucciones muy claras. Iluminación en el jardín- al ingreso. Ducha externa para quitar arena, portón y perimetro más seguro (hasta adentro puede ingresar quien sea de manera fácil) advertir que es zona sin cobertura de teléfono y que el servicio a internet no es bueno (durante la estadía nunca nos funcionó) valorar hacer una piscina. Tuvimos compañia de gatos que parece viven, duermen ahí y pues eso a nosotros no nos agradó. ##### María Fernanda This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### CASAS DEL CARIBE 1 Sept 2020 #### Increíble paz y hermoso jardín! Todo estuve super lindo! La propiedad en sí es súper hermosa, los jardines atraen tantos animalitos que vienen a saludas! Las camas muy cómodas y la cocina super bien equipada! Definitivamente volveremos! Quedaría super bien una piscina en el jardín de atrás! ##### CASAS DEL CARIBE This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good 22 Sept 2019 #### En general muy buen alojamiento, bien equipada con lo necesario. La distribución de la casa. Aire acondicionado en laa habitaciones. La cocina requiere más ventilación. ---
