The Jungle Lodge is only a mediocre hotel, but the location really does make up for pretty much every complaint we had with the hotel itself. We had been there only a few hours when a large troop of howler monkeys came through the property and right over our cabin. We would see spider and howler monkeys every day of... more

Overall, we liked the Jungle Lodge. It is the nicest place to stay in the Tikal Park. We got to see a lot of monkeys and other animals. It was a plus to be able to be the first people in the Park at 6 am. The problem we had was with the so-called package deal. We paid an extra... more

Dear readers, we had (as always) checked guidebooks and tripadvisor before choosing our hotel in the Tikal area. Though travelling around for a few years, we had never had a real disappointment this way. Even some hotels that had bad reviews on Trip Advisor didn't show as that bad after all. But Jungle Lodge was different - but not for... more

We showed up at the Jungle Lodge with a tent hoping to camp in the Tikal National Park. It cost us about $4 US per person per night...great deal! It was a great place to camp with clean bathrooms and showers, and even comedores for food and bottled water nearby. Bring earplugs; the howler monkeys get very loud at night! more

Here's the deal. You get to stay in the park, footsteps away from the entrance to Tikal National Park. That's what you have to keep in mind. That's worth alot because the buses roll in around 7:30 or 8:00, but you can get into the park right when it opens at 6:00 am (earlier, I guess, if you are sneaky).... more

As the title implies, this is a fine place to stay when visiting Tikal.We stayed for 2 evenings and the overall experience was very good. The food was excellent , and do try the Gallo beer, which is a very fine beer in my opinion. The rooms were situated in a way which is perfect to enjoy the sounds of... more

We stayed at the Jungle Lodge for 2 nights and it was absolutely terrific. All the bad press about the food did not bear out for us as our meals were included and all were great. A few times they ran out of basics like tortillas but considering it is the middle of nowhere we were happy to overlook that.... more

My son and I stayed in one of the bungalows (Building 6) which had a great bathroom and comfortable beds. It was warm in the room...83 degrees with the fan going at 10pm. We asked not to be close to the pool and were not bothered by any unpleasant odors nor the generator. (Do bring earplugs in any case when... more

As everyone else has said, the location of Jungle Lodge is superb right at the entrance of Tikal and enables maximum experiences in the park itself. However, outside the location and the nice ambience of the lodge, it has little going for it. The food was the worst we had in Guatemala. Our first night there was a huge group... more
