This is my third and last time staying at this hotel. It used to be the most charming place near Tikal and it was filled with birds and animals that were a highlight. Now they get treated like pests and stay away, which was sad to note. There seems to be new management and it all felt sort of disconnected and amateurish. The vibe felt off compared to my previous stays. They had the same terrible playlist of generic pop music and I could hear it from my room so not even using the hammock was restful. They also fell for the awful trend of using leaf blowers so the noise pollution is considerable since it's in the middle of a large bioreserve. All in all it was such a disappointing experience that I ended up over at the next lodge having a drink and planning my next trip to Tikal with them. Hopefully the new management will get it together but I won't be going back :/ - one nice thing was the welcome drink: chilled hibiscus (jamaica) - that was a nice touch :)

The pipes in the bathroom and the water smelled absolutely awful and that was not the case before :( - I was scared to wash my teeth and bought water from the hotel for that purpose. The rugs around the bed did not look clean either...maintenance also felt off compared to two previous stays.

My biggest complaint is that the hotel or park does not have a place to exchange currency. They will accept USD and credit cards in the restaurant which is great but not at the park entrance. I tried to pay the park entrance with credit card and clean new bills which I got at a local bank in the US and the park entrance still would not accept some of the bills. I believe the lack of a currency exchange offices is to prevent travelers from using the public buses or colectivos. The closest place to exchange money is on the border with Belize and Flores. I had to by-pass the junction to the park and continue to Flores an additional hour one way because I did not exchange enough to not local currency. Tikal is one of my favorite World Heritage sites in the world and I was thrilled to share my experience for a second time with my son, but the lack of exchange currently offices is not world class.

The staff was very friendly and accomodating we arrived at 9 in the morning from Guatemala City, ate breakfast there (which was fabulous), and they allowed us to stow our suitcases behind the counter until we could checkin. We went and toured the main plaza of the temples and came back and they allowed us to check in about an hour early. The room was tidy and the beds comfortable. All three of us (me, wife, and son) used the hammock on the porch at various times and loved it. We ate three meals at the restaurant and everything was delicious.

The one knock off was the water in the bathroom. My son has been living in Guatemala for the last 2 years, and is basically a native now. Even he couldnt figure out the shower. What little water we got was absolutely frigid, and very low pressure. He went and asked at the desk for help (he's fluent) and they couldn't do anything to help, I guess.

8/10 and will stay again.

This hotel is located right inside Tikal National Park, making it perfect if you’re planning the sunrise or sunset tour. Surrounded by jungle, it’s not a city-style luxury hotel, but that’s part of the charm. The property runs on solar power, so there’s no AC—but you won’t need it, as the natural breeze keeps the rooms cool. Everything was surprisingly clean, even by city standards, and the on-site restaurant serves very good food.

This property is in the park and so you can get to the entrance by 6am when they open. The grounds are lovely as you are in the tropical forest. The first night we were there we heard howler monkeys close by and saw a Toucan (wild) and many birds. The hotel is supposedly run entirely on solar power, although that’s not something I could verify. But kudos to them. The room was very spacious for my son and I and so was the bathroom. The second night a troop of spider monkeys went by. What more can you ask for? There’s no air conditioning and you can’t use hairdryers due to the energy consumption, but I don’t use a hair dryer anyway and there’s an overhead fan and they will bring you a second one if you ask, which we did, because it was a particularly hot week. We were comfortable. The hotel’s restaurant will take cards, but the other one close by will not. Bring quetzales! You need cash for certain things simply because you are in the park and there’s no ATM around. The staff were all friendly and professional. It’s a beautiful setting. I would definitely return here in a heartbeat!

Great place to stay

In the park there are only 3 hotels to choose from. Jaguar inn is the most budget friendly. I was able to take my 2 children and spend very little. The restaurant serves excellent food, it’s clean, and friendly staff. The rooms are surrounded by nature where you will see wild turkeys, ant eaters, capibara and unique birds right outside your window. If you are used to higher end hotels, stay at the jungle lodge. There they have air conditioning, fancy restaurants, a pool and a more upscale environment, however, expect to spend a lot more money ! If you don’t mind a regular fan and no ac or pool you will save money and still have a good time.
This is I unrelated to the hotel but I wanted to warn you to do your homework when purchasing the park passes. It can be a confusing and is best to understand what you are purchasing prior to arrival.

Pros - 1. friendly and helpful staff. Jonathan was a great help! 2. Good food with a surprisingly large menu. 3. Beautiful grounds. 4. Great location, just a few hundred yards from the park entrance. 5. For those who like to rough it and want to save money, this is your best bet. We thought it was better than the Tikal Inn next door
Cons: 1. No AC. Ceiling fan wasn't enough to allow us to sleep comfortably 2. Mattress was extremely hard 3. Hardly any water pressure in shower 4. Mosquitoes ate me alive at night. At least offer guests mosquito nets for protection and replace screens on the windows and add weather seals on the door.
Note: many reviews stated that the electricity was shut off every night. That did not happen at all during our stay. This might be because there were not as many guests, and power demand was not as high. If you want AC and are willing to pay more to have it, try Jungle Lodge, which is also inside the park.

The setting of the hotel was beautiful. We loved seeing the Toucans in the trees and were able to walk into the park. Our first morning - a Sunday, we were awakened at 8 am by the loud sound of a weed wacker right outside our bedroom window. It went on for too many minutes. Then, we sat outside the restaurant wanting to have a nice breakfast on the first morning of our vacation and they were cutting the grass. We had to listen to the lawm mower throughout our whole breakfast. This should be done in the afternoon when guests are not in the restaurant. The next morning it was quiet and we could enjoy hearing the birds in the trees. Please fix this - I'm sure no guests enjoyed that noise while trying to enjoy the beautiful tranquil environment we went there to experience. Gracias.

Dream location of the best ruins in the world!

Can’t beat the location and it felt like we were right in the middle of a dream. So convenient to walk in and out of Tikal National park at will during the day. They cleaned daily, which was appreciated. The cabanas are getting a little worse for wear and the only reason we couldn’t rate it higher is a good part of our group were sickened by the restaurant fresh vegetables and fruit that we specifically asked if they were washed with soap and water. They were not!

If you want to spend the smallest amount of money….go there but know your stay will be equivalent to camping but with four walls. The roaches, poor ventilation, the heat trapped in each room, no running water with an expectation of a normal hotel stay…is why I give 1 star. We were up all night killing HUGE roaches. So we missed the sunrise tour. Spend more and go to Jungle Hotel. Totally diff experience.

Great way to experience the park. We had a triple room that was as comfortable as could be with smoke and temperatures over 100 and no A.C. The ceiling fan worked well. You will see and hear lots of beautiful birds and hear the howler monkeys. I am so glad we stayed here because we could go in for the sunrise tour and come back and sleep and then go out for a second visit to the park before dinner and bed.

As an Eco lodge the facilities are understandably basic, but the environment makes up for this in spades - just sitting eating our breakfast we could hear howler monkeys and all sorts of bird song including woodpeckers turkeys and toucans. We were even visited by a family of spider monkeys who came down for a drink.
Be aware - it’s in the jungle with the heat and humidity that goes with the territory but the bonus is being on the gateway to the National Park and trekking distance to the Mayan ruins at Tikal.

The hotel is nice and particularly convenient for Tikal tours. If you're planning sunrise and sunset tours, this hotel could be your best option as it's within walking distance of the park entrance. However, the facilities are somewhat dated; for example, our shower was broken, which could be hazardous if you have children. Despite this, the eco experience is fantastic! We visited in March, and although there's no AC, the temperatures were high. The fan provided wasn't sufficient during the day, so we spent most of our time outside enjoying the surrounding areas. Thankfully, we had a great experience observing the local wildlife, and the people were friendly and welcoming. The restaurant food is excellent, and we highly recommend dining there at least once. Alternatively, there are typical food options nearby, but be aware that most places close at 6pm due to sunset and limited energy usage. Despite the room being a bit warm, we had an amazing experience exploring Tikal both in the morning and at night. The service at the hotel was exceptional!

A really good place to stay in Tikal

We were very happy to stay here---it's the closest Inn to the actual site. The staff are friendly and helpful and do speak some English (because alas we speak very little Spanish). We ate at their restaurant too, and the food was fine. We had a room upstairs in the one building---it's fairly basic but quite comfortable, and the ceiling fan made the temperature bearable. They also organized a shuttle from and back to Flores airport, which is very useful. Sitting on their small outside patio listening to the sounds of the jungle in the evening was really fantastic.

Jaguar was amazing!

This is a really nice jungle stay. You’re off the grid, the wifi comes and goes, and there’s no service. But you don’t go to places like this for the connectivity!
I think Jaguar has exceptional service, and the rooms are very clean. The food and drinks are unbeatable.
You can walk into Tikal and it’s an unbeatable experience.
Jaguar offers shuttles from Flores, yes you have to pay, but it’s not much and the drivers are very friendly.
I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Great property right by the entrance to the temples. Staff were really friendly and helpful.

Do keep in mind that the power goes off at 9pm which means no fans or air-conditioning at night. I wish I had bought along my small portable fan (just would have made the sleeping more comfortable).

I was disappointed that the back end system with Expedia had not recorded my booking which mean the staff and I had to find proof in my emails and bank statement of payment when we arrived late. Thank goodness all was sorted the next day by checkout time.

Love to go back and have more time exploring.

Be advised that Expedia does not give all the details around the power shutoff at 10pm and no hot water after 9pm. When a ceiling fan is advertised in the jungle and it’s THE JUNGLE you definitely need air circulation. The restaurant was mediocre at best and expensive, but it was nice to have an option on site. We ended up checking out a day early of our 2 day stay to change to a hotel in El Remate - Las Gardenias with AC and slept much better there and there were many more food options in El Remate.

Everything was great considering they run on generator power. The ruins, animals, and vegetation make up for the lack power at night. The staff was great and the food was good as well. Bring bug spray.

The property did not make it clear that we would need to pass through gates and buy tickets to get into the park before accessing the Hotel. They did not work with our reservation once we were unable to get transport into the Tikal National Park because we had a dog and could not pass through the gates (even though the dog was not staying at the hotel). They were not understanding and did not even try to accommodate the issues we faced. Terrible customer service and communication.

This was a great place to stay while exploring Tikal! When I wasn't at the site I relaxed by swinging in the hammock outside my room. The food was good, staff was nice, and it was very convenient for exploring Tikal! They also helped me arrange some other adventures, which was incredibly helpful.

Their advertisement mention that WIFI was available, and it was a misleading statement since it was only in the lobby, sporadic and with bad quality. The room was not cleaned on the second day. They don´t explain also that you need to purchase the park tickets, 17 kilometers before getting to the hotel, so you need to pay them extra to send somebody to buy the tickets.

Great

It could have been cleaner. But, for the price and the fact that you’re RIGHT IN Tikal, you really can’t beat it. I know there are probably nicer hotels in Tikal but this one was great for what it was. Wifi only works at specific times and only in the restaurant.

It can be a little scary at night, but it’s a super cool experience to wake up to the sound of animals and nature.

Jaguar inn is conveniently located inside of the park. Steps away from the entrance and many small markets.
Their Restaurant food is good but not wow! Their micheladas are BOMB!! my husband and I loved them.

I feel like transportation is very overpriced $60 each way… but if you take a small cab from Flores is only like $15 or if you have time to take the public bus is only $10.

Wifi doesn’t work much but it is okay, as you are in the jungle so not in need of technology (per say)
Maps are Q.15
Definitely not a luxury hotel, we didn’t have shampoo, conditioner or lotion in our room… so I used the “3 in 1”(shampoo, cond, soap) that was in the shower. Worked okay, smelled good but my hair hated it lol.
Unfortunately the people who stayed in the upper floor would not shut up, so it was hard to fall asleep… but other than that, hotel is good :)

Sunrise or sunset hike tour is available. Loved the sunrise one.

No the best service

Workers seem a bit unatentive, they lie to guests about wifi being out when in reality they turn it off as they please.
Not very helpful when asking for advice, they need some courses on hospitality.
