Being located inside Tikal National Park, Jungle Lodge has been a hotel unique in its category, due to location and its historic relation to the exploration of this Mayan City. The protected area of Tikal National Park spans 576 squared kilometers in which there are national guidelines oriented to the preservation of flora and fauna and archaeological vestiges of this Natural and Cultural World Heritage. To comfortably and

For our guests’ comfort, we have a power storage system that powers each room. Its worth noting that during the night the rooms exclusively offer the following options:

A power outlet.
A ceiling fan
Ceiling light.

NOTE: Due to demands on high season, the power inverters provide power a little before 6:00. Generally we are able to cuber the 95% of nights a year with electrical power. We appreciate your comprehension
and invite you to use this resource responsibly.

Other guidelines of Tikal limit cellphone coverage inside the park and the hotel. A situation that definitely invites to disconnect and fully experience every detail of your surroundings and share this experience with family and friends.

For your comfort and tranquility we have identified special locations from which you can use your cellphone inside the park, they are:

Temple IV.
Lost World Great Pyramid.

We additionally have satellite phones. Ask the front desk for rates.

It’s important noting that the restrictions of Tikal decrease the strength and reach of the wifi signal in the hotel and rooms. However we’ve implemented a satellite internet service, the only one available in the area, to cover certain areas like the lobby, restaurant, bar and pool.

For your visit it’s important taking into consideration the following:
All streaming platforms are restricted. The wifi signal is interrupted by factors like weather and other similar causes.

This is a scarce resource inside Tikal National Park and its supply require very complex logistics, so we appreciate its proper use and care.

Due to our location, it’s important taking into consideration the following:
The tap water is not drinkable.

Bottled water has to be transported approximately 65 kilometers, so it has
a cost.

One of the most important sound shows of the area are the howler monkeys, one of the loudest in the world. It’s important noting that these animals are completely harmless.

It is possible that during the day the sounds of the jungle blend with out power generators, which without we wouldn’t be able to operate. We appreciate your comprehension in this aspect.

Our room’s and suites’ designs have been made to protect our guests from insects. In the case of an unwanted visitor you can report it to the front desk and we’ll gladly return it to its natural habitat.

For your comfort, all our beds have mosquito nets.

December to February: They are the coolest months of the year, including cold days. It’s important noting humidity generates a greater sensation of cold for which we recommend bringing adequate clothing in case you visit us during this season.
