Jungle Lodge Review

Also known as Posada de la Selva, this is the biggest and most comfortable hotel right at the park. However, at times there can be a cattle-car feel to the operation. The majority of the rooms, and the best rooms, are housed in duplex bungalows, with high ceilings, white-tile floors, two double beds with mosquito netting, and a ceiling fan. Each has its own little porch with a couple of chairs. The bungalows are connected by stone paths through lush gardens. Two junior suites feature king-size beds, a large Jacuzzi-style tub (but without jets), and private patios in both the front and back of the room. There are 12 older rooms with polished cement floors and shared bathroom facilities. It's hot and steamy here in the jungle, but after you've spent the day traipsing up and down pyramids, you'll be thankful you can cool off in the hotel's pool, which is built on a rise and shaped like a Maya pyramid.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; small outdoor pool; tour desk; laundry service

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
