Spent a night in May 2013 at the Jungle Lodge. Due to tight schedule, this was the perfect option, as the this is the only hotel (?) located inside the National Park just few hundred meters from the entrance gate. Would say superb location!. At the garden we photographed parrots, tucans and spider monkeys. The service was professional and friendly.... More

One is getting a great location right at park entrance. It is worth it. But know that compromises come with that. Beds aren't very comfortable, water pressure is a rumor. But rooms are sizable, restaurant is reasonable, and wildlife on grounds is fun. You will be awakened early by monkeys and birds, so go to bed early. Biggest disappointment was... More

We spent two nights at the Jungle Lodge. As many have already said, it is the perfect place to stay in Tikal National Park. Our accommodation was a bungalow which was very comfortable and had a large bathroom lit with natural light (although a pocket flashlight does come in handy in the evening). The sound of the howler monkeys in... More

My wife and I would rate this hotel as excellent. Although It does not meet the luxurious standards of many of the safari lodges in Africa, they do provide excellent service, surprisingly good food and comfortable and clean accommodation under difficult conditions. They have the best location within the Tikal national reserve, right at the entrance to the ruins. Electricity... More

Very good clean hotel / lodge right in the park. The staff was very good, and helpful. Rooms were clean, with good hot showers. Pool needs to be cleaned better. Food was good at the hotel as well. Would recommend a stay here

Spectacular tall trees fill the grounds making it feel as if the jungle starts here. It is the most wonderful habitat for birds and animals that make it their home. Just enjoying the shade of the gardens and admiring the wildlife above would make a stay here worthwhile, but of course the ruins beckon and need to be explored before... More

this is the perfact place to stay while visiting the Tikal site-just a few metres from the main gate. Rooms are in cabins set in a cgarden teeming with birds(toucans,parrots,mot-mots) and being woken by the howler monkeys was an extraordinary experience-not to be missed! the lighting is dim in the room but the mosquito nets are a nice touch.restaurant has...

Was so pleasantly surprized by the charming collection of cottages set in the botanical garden of the Guatamalan jungle. Rooms older, but well maintained, save for occasional spiders ( you are in the jungle). Air conditioning worked fine- but some rooms are on full time and others part time. Shower clean. Food, I thought was very good and well priced.... More

This was the perfect place to stay in Tikal. Our group arrived in the afternoon and the staff was very friendly and showed us around the grounds before we booked our rooms. We had a choice of a king bed with a shared bathroom or a room with 2 double beds and a private bathroom. My husband and I opted... More
