Excellent place to stay if you want quiet and relaxation. The water features Lou has built are so calming and cooling in the middle of the jungle. The open air bathroom and shower was so fun--almost like camping in the jungle but with all the amenities. I wish we had spent a week instead of a few days. Mari and Lou make a mean breakfast and have such fresh fruit--I ate a sour orange right off the tree. :) Thank you so much to Mari and Lou for a wonderful time. I would stay again in a heartbeat.

My sweetie and I were here for 5 nights in January 2011 and decided to return for 7 nights in January 2012. Lou and Mari are the most accomodating hosts ever - they truly have thought of everything! The B&B rooms are beautiful and clean. The B&B property is a magical experience with many species of birds and butterflies. The breakfasts are a stunning culinary delight we looked forward to each morning. Lou and Mari had many recommendations for things to do and places to eat dinner in the area as well. But some days we just relaxed at "home" - and had dinner across the street! Their life is in Macario Gomez, Mexico and they are proud of that and it reflects in their involvement with the community. If you've never been to Mexico, I highly recommend this as a wonderful introduction!

La Selva Mariposa was the ideal setting for our first trip to Mexico. The owners were well prepared to answer all of our questions and more than met our needs. Example: the page in their guide book labeled Mexican driving 101 provided many good tips for Americans driving in Mexico. Their guidebooks provided useful information on the myriad of activities and attractions in the area. The generous hosts encouraged us to take the guidebooks with us each day so we didn't have to depend on our memory. This was also useful if we had an unscheduled change of plans.

The location of LSM in the small quiet Yucatan village of Marcario Gomez is conveniently placed between well know tourist attractions such as the Mayan ruins, the colonial city of Valladolid and the Caribbean beaches.

A delicious and filling breakfast was cooked for us each day. The rooms were large, clean and unique. We especially liked the outdoor shower and you will not be disappointed if you request a room with this feature. The owners provided abundant filtered water in the rooms in lovely pottery dispensers. They also considerately provided water bottles to carry water during the day. Our bed was comfortable and the room was attractive. Each evening at the end of our activities we felt as if we were truly coming back to a home away from home.

Lou and Mo have given much consideration to ecological and "green" features in the architecture, construction and operation of the bed and breakfast. Be sure to take their tour of the property.

Overall LSM provided an enjoyable and unforgettable experience.

What an outstanding experience!. Although we expected a jungle environment, La Selva Mariposa was over the top. With the waterfall outside our door and the animal noises in the morning we were relaxed from the moment we arrived. Starting the day with Moe and Lou's wonderful breakfasts and chatting with their interesting guests was a great way to learn about happenings in the Yucatan. We were very surprised to be so close to Tulum, yet out of town and on the way to so many other interesting things to do. Even the shopping and local restaurant in Macario Gomez were treats .... inexpensive and quality. This is the ideal get away; away from the crowd and in the heart of the Yucatan. We thank Moe and Lou for being such hospitable inn keepers, their attention to detail and their efforts to educate us about the area. I just hope they don’t become so busy that others can’t enjoy their fantastic B&B. Five stars for La Selva Mariposa.
