We love reading on the balcony or in the hammock. And when we run out of books to read, we turn to a local bookstore, , located just about 30 minutes away from .

They have a great selection for all age groups and interests, most of them in Spanish, but they also have a section in English.

We grabbed two books this time to replace the ones we finished reading, which are now part of our little library.

We made a commitment to donate 10% of each reservation on the dates below. The first two reservations have been completed, and true to our word, we donated 10% of the proceedings to two of our favorite organizations assisting people in Puerto Rico: Taller Salud and Casa Pueblo.

Because the need is so big, we matched the earnings for a total of 20% donation of earned income to each organization. It humbles us to be able to assist in any manner. As soon as the other transactions are completed, we will do the same with other organizations.

We also thank our guests who made this possible by selecting La Mariposa for their vacation.

As promised, here’s proof of the donation.

Thank you!

At La Mariposa, we are grateful that all essential services have been restored, and we are ready to receive guests.

But we know that a great number of Puertorriqueños are still without these essential services, and still dealing with much more. For that reason, we have committed to donating 10% of each new reservation made on the dates available below to a non-profit organization working with communities in need.

We will report back on donations through our social media pages. We thank you in advance for your patronage and support.

We keep trying local spots in beautiful Arecibo. This time we went to , located in downtown Arecibo, about 20 minutes away from .

We had already visited by the same owner, and were eager to try this new place. I had the chuletas de cerdo with arroz y habichuelas. Andrew had the lomo de cerdo en salsa de guayaba y BBQ; we shared an order of tostones de pana.

The chuletas were well seasoned and very tender. The habichuelas, which I had been craving, were in a thick and flavorful sauce. The lomo de cerdo was well made, and the tostones de pana were delicious.

It took some time to get our food, and it was not too busy, so take this into consideration if you visit; you may have to wait for your order.

Good spot with fun decor.

On Saturday morning we went to for breakfast, only 4 minutes away from us. We had been there before but we were so hungry and the food was so delicious that we forgot to take pictures 🤦🏽‍♀️.

So we went back yesterday and we were very pleased that everything is still the same!

We started with tamarindo and acerola mimosas 🍹, which were perfect for sipping while we waited for our cremita de maíz con coco. We love cremita de maíz, but now you add coco? 🙋🏽‍♀️we are sold!

We had café latte and had them without sugar. That’s how good they are, you don’t need to add anything to taste the strong flavor without any hint of bitterness.

Next we had the veggie omelette, and the Mallorca scramble 😋. Andrew added a spicy sauce they have to his omelette for extra flavor (not that it needed it!). I loved the contrast between the sweetness of the Mallorca and the scramble which also included bacon.

It was packed and we had to wait a bit for our food, but nothing out of the ordinary for a busy Saturday morning. After all, you are on vacation so what’s the rush? Plus we must remember that many establishments are still under staffed after . We spent that time planning for the rest of the day.

We finished our breakfast with guanábana and parcha mimosas. Sorry, no pictures but trust me, they are good!

This is another spot to visit if you are in the area (hopefully staying with us!)

Last night we ventured out again to try a local spot. This time we went to La Puntilla Barrio Gastronómico , about 25 minutes away from La Mariposa. At La Puntilla you will find different offerings for all taste.

We settled for Callejón Del Beso and what a great choice that was! The staff was great and helpful; I’m not a fan of sangria but was curious about the parcha sangría. I asked our waitress for a tasting and she graciously brought me a sample. It was delicious! We ended up ordering a pitcher.

Next we decided for the Tablao Gitano; it was a great appetizer, good enough to hold us until the main dish.

We had the Paella Vegana with tostones de pana 🤤 🤤 that was simply delicious! So tasty, perfectly seasoned and a good pairing with the tostones.

For dessert we had the Crepas de Santiago. I’m not a big fan of sweets so I was a bit hesitant but these crepas were perfect - sweet enough without being overpowering.

The whole experience was great; we highly recommend this place.

And, of course, we kissed because what is a visit to el Callejón del Beso if you don’t kiss?

12/10/2022

We love to support local businesses! And we also like to try them out so that we can recommend them to our guests.

Today we visited Simple, a new breakfast and brunch site about 10 minutes away from the house. We started with a sangria and parcha mojito, followed by their fish tacos, and they were oh, so good! We were told this was fresh swordfish, which we had never tried before. You could tell it was fresh, and it was also very tasty! We finished our lunch with a delicious latte; strong coffee and no bitterness.

We were greeted by Paola and Irelis, the owner. They were very welcoming and helpful; they made us feel at home.

Simple is a must-visit when you stay with us at La Mariposa Beach House.

At La Mariposa Beach House we are grateful that we did not experience any damage. Currently, we do not have electricity or water, just like the majority of the island.

But there are a lot of people that are in real need. Families that lost everything after . Donations to government agencies or officials are not recommended. Instead, donate to any of these non-profit organizations that have done and continue doing amazing work in different communities in Puerto Rico. Our favorites are and , but your donation to any of these will do a lot of good. For a more exhaustive list, follow

At La Mariposa we have taken all precautions as we wait for Storm Fiona to hit the island later today. We are very grateful to our cleaning team, Doctor’s Desinfection, who came in and made sure that everything is secure.

We hope that even though Fiona is expected to become a Category 1 Hurricane, the damage, if any, is minimal to our beautiful island of Puerto Rico.

Everyone, be safe!
