We stayed in the Tikal Inn as part of a high school group tour. As others have noted, this is a unique hotel. It is located in the jungle, and is far from any other amenities. Electricity availability is limited to morning and evening times. Very limited shopping is available, but selection and price are not as good as elsewhere... more

Stayed one night (just last night) at the Jungle Lodge on a quick trip to Tikal. The location is unbeatable. The rest of the experience was underwhelming. I am typing this review from the pricey internet cafe in the lobby - 6 USD per hour. BE sure to have exact change, or you will have to wait around for them... more

Tikal national park has only 3 hotels on its property and Jaguar Inn is one of them. It was relatively cheap $60 for a huge room with a king size bed. A strange thing about the room was that it didn't have any closet or shelves inside, so we had to store all our clothes on a bed and bedside... more

This is the ideal location for visiting Tikal. The room was very clean however there was only electricity from 6 - 10 pm so be prepared to be HOT without a fan at night. Food was mediocre. The pool area was the showcase of the property. We got up at 4 and did the sunrise tour which I would highly... more

What a beautiful place~ We had a great experience at this hotel. It is gorgeous ~ set in the amazing jungle of Tikal. I highly recommend this hotel. We enjoyed our stay here very much. The room was great, the food was also good and the pool was fantastic and so refreshing after hiking in the heat through Tikal~ We... more

I went to Tikal with my family in December of 2007. I felt hustled from the second I crossed the border into Guatemala from Belize. It was so disappointing and stressful that the local people have perfected the art of strangling every ounce of joy from a gorgeous, significant national park. Specifically, the sunrise tour is a big scam. There... more

13 members of my family stayed last January from the 9th to the 20th. We rented a vehicle at the airport and drove out to the Inn. I had never been out of the country before so this was going to be a real challenge or so I thought. I havent had spanish since 7th grade, I'm 51. My father... more

This was my third stay at this property. It has been a pleasant experience in the past, but seems to be going downhill. Twelve of us spent two nights the first of April. Between our six bungalows, two had no water. One unit (ours) was able to be repaired but the other folks had to relocate into another bungalow. Also,... more

Perfect spot in Tikal park. Way more than we expected. Good food, cold beer. helpful employees. They nights without generators were hot, but they left lanterns on the porch in case you needed light at night. Great pool. Make sure to walk into the park at sunset and climb a temple. Then walk out in the dusk with a flashlight.... more

What a great experience to wake up so close to Tikal, hear howler monkeys and experience the sunrise without having to endure that long shuttle from Flores. The higher price for this hotel was worth it for the location alone. As a bonus, we had a pool and nice shady yard in which to relax during the heat of the... more

The only reason to stay here is because you want to be in the Tikal National Park. And for what you pay, it's not a bad place to go, but you wil remind yourself you are there for the park not for the accommodations, food or service. Each room is part of a duplex. Ours was roomy enough (never a... more

We stayed here on an overnighter from Belize. Our package included dinner and breakfast. Our room was bright, cheery and spacious. We had a few visitors though which made the stay a little more exciting! The first was a scorpion, then we had a tarantula! The howler monkeys were loud to say the least, but its all part of the... more

We stayed at the Jungle Lodge, Tikal at the end of March for 2 nights, having booked the full package with Belize.explorer.com. We were staying for 2 weeks in Mexico and wanted to visit tikal as we have previously visited Chichen Itza and Coba. We loved the location of the Lodge and found Tikal to be amazing, the Mayan site... more

I stayed here for several nights, and also stayed at the nearby Jaguar Inn. I found this hotel to be very overpriced, the food was consistently awful, the service was slow and unfriendly. I waited over an hour for a plate of spaghetti one night (dinner was included in my room charge). I ended up walking over to the Jaguar... more

We booked here because all other hotels in the park were apparently fully booked. I had some trepidation and it was realised. On arrival late evening we were presented with a list of hotel "rules" and asked for $120 deposit in case of room breakages. A quick look around the worn out reception with tired cane chairs told me this... more

Keep in mind that Tikal doesn't lend itself to a luxurious stay. That being said, I thought that the Jaguar was a good choice. I stayed in several of the inns, and this was certainly the best. The food was good (much better than the nearby places!), the prices were reasonable. You can expect the electricity to run out in... more

I have just spent one night at the Jungle Lodge as part of a Tikal /Livingstone package and found it to be ok. The double room was basic but clean. It was not ensuite but there were good clean shower and wc blocks nearby, and towels provided. The electricity goes off overnight but oil lamps are provided (might be an... more

There are a few things that are nice about this Hotel, it is very close to the Ruins, and the grounds are very beautiful. The rooms are clean and the bungalows are spacious. However, I would defiantly recommend against staying at this hotel. The management is very unhelpful and does not try to help you. They are there to get... more

Jungle Lodge was fun! One morning we greeted our neighbour who turned out to be a DJ from Michigan and we all went into this familiar riff and rant about the world economy and how the American sub-prime market had sent houses prices spiralling downwards, we talked about the war, and leaving the US and the UK for good. And... more
