Jungle Lodge

Great pool for relaxing after the rains.

I would highly recommend this lodge style hotel, as long as you dont require air conditioning ( which wasnt necessary when we visited ) Also the electricity went off at night- but this added to its charm. The small swimming pool was delightful with the sounds of the jungle all around. The staff were great.

We weren't expecting top standards but the hotel was adequate.  We often found the reception desk unmanned, including when we arrived and left.  The room was fine and breakfast was adequate.  The great thing about the hotel is that it is within the park so only a short walk to the Mayan site and there are birds and animals all around, so for us it was the right choice of hotel.

Very convenient location for the ruins.

"Better than described."

Not Bad for a Remote Place The Jungle lodge is a cabin style resort close to the entrance of the ruins at Tikal. The place is about an hours drive from Flores airport and is remote. The individual cabins are relatively spacious, clean and with good beds and a good bathroom but lack air conditioning. There is an old ceiling fan. The windows have mosquito mesh and there is a mosquito net in the room. The place needs a bit of refurbishing. There is no fridge, mini bar or tea making facilities in the room. The reception and dining area is big and there is a souvenir shop but no snacks or drinks of any description unless you order them on the menu. Reception is so-so and not exactly helpful. The dining room staff are friendly but hint broadly about tips. Food is expensive and average. The wine and other drinks are fine but expensive for Guatemala (Suggestion: Stock up on snacks and drinks before you get here and before you enter the park.) The power supply can be erratic but there seems to be a stand-by generator. Wi-fi is free but only works in reception and pool area. The pool area is nice and has a happy hour on drinks.

"Great location and the chance to watch monkeys swing in the tree outside my hotel room! The food was also outstanding although there was somewhat of a language barrier I still had a wonderful time here."

“Best feature of Jungle Lodge was its setting within easy walking distance of Tikal site and grounds full of wildlife.”

“Ice-cold towels particularly appreciated after the tour at Tikal!”

"The Lodge is as described simple but nevertheless the best place to stay. The restaurant was closed when we arrived at 21.15 and electricity is restricted to 6.00 - 9.00, 12.00 - 14.00, 7.00 - 10.00."

"Ideal for the ruins, helpful staff. Lack of electricity early in the morning was interesting when departing!"

“Nothing wrong with Jungle Lodge, but a more basic property (again, as indicated by Caroline)- quid pro quo is it is right next to Tikal so was definitely the right place to stay.”

"Very nice and superb location. We appreciated the wildlife in the gardens and nearby.”

“Tikal – the jungle lodge hotel was of a much higher standard than I expected and I would recommend anyone visiting Tikal to stay inside the park, as the best times to visit were early morning and evening. I had the Gran Plaza all to myself for sunset one evening.”

"A highlight was staying so close to Tikal and seeing the ruins at dawn when fewer tourists were around.”
