Mariposa Lodge

The West End location made it easy to get around, and management was helpful and reachable remotely whenever I needed them, even though they weren't there full time. My room had basic amenities. The insect bites were the one serious problem: two months later I'm still dealing with the pain from papular urticaria.

We loved the little pool and how peaceful it stayed in the evenings, despite being so close to the shops and Half Moon Bay. The apartment was clean and roomy. We had a great visit in February 2023.

The dive shop staff were easy to work with and really friendly. There are hundreds of dive sites just minutes from shore, and some of the scuba diving is among the best. We had a great time with beautiful views, comfortable accommodations, and everything within walking distance.

Hummingbirds visit the garden flowers while you relax in a hammock on the porch, which was a lovely touch. The rooms have little kitchens and really comfortable beds. Sue and Mike treated us wonderfully and made the place feel like home. It's quiet even though the main street is close, with shops, restaurants, and Half Moon Bay nearby for snorkeling, scuba diving, and seeing part of the coral reef around the island. A wonderful place, absolutely 10/10.
