Mariposa, built in 1990 in prestigious Ocean Point, nestles dramatically in rich tropical setting with panoramic views of water in almost all directions. From the large covered deck, you can lay back in the hammock and enjoy an unobstructed vista of iridescent turquoise waters, azure skies and distant harbor. http://www.caribbeanmag.com/search/hotels/Turks_and_Caicos/mariposavilla/hotel/409/1/ en-us Copyright 1998 e-TravelMedia.com/CaribbeanMag.com Fri, 27 Nov 2009 09:52:17 EST Inside the villa, you will find a tasteful décor of warm Caribbean colors with tile floors, wood paneled walls, and cathedral beamed ceilings providing a feeling of space and luxury throughout. If it is sunshine you prefer, you can stretch out and relax on the large open deck with the sea lapping the shoreline below or walk down the steps to the sea-level deck with steps into the water for swimming and sunning. From decks on the other side of the villa, you have views of nearby Taylor Beach, a large crescent-shaped beach with sugar-white sand which is almost always deserted. But, don't just look at it; a three-minute walk puts you right on it. AMENITIES: Mariposa has three lovely bedrooms, each with a full bathroom. The kitchen is fully equipped with a dishwasher, microwave, self-cleaning oven and more.
