Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel Jaguar Inn Tikal

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!

Perfect. A great location. The staff went out of their way to be helpful. The restaurant was excellent and varied enough that eating most meals there was fine.

Todo bien

Very basic hotel to say the least. WiFi in the rooms is useless.

I like it , but the smell from the bathroom all the time,

Amazing staff, they make the experience wonderful. Great english skills.

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.

This is my second visit to the Jaguar Inn. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Also, lots of wildlife to see around the hotel.

It's a very pretty setting in a great location for visiting Tikal. The dining room is nice and airy and there were many menu options. The small half-cottage we stayed in was somewhat rundown and there wasn't really much hot water for a shower at the specified times. The beds were comfortable but the walls are thin. Otherwise, it is very quiet. Staff were friendly.

I love the fact that it is right outside Tikal ruins, this gave us the unforgettable experience to do the sunrise and sunset tours. Staff was wonderful setting up our tour even thou we arrived very late they were also very helpful in getting us transportation to Belize

Everything was awesome staff place food

Great staff, food, location. Absolutely terrible bed, shower. Everything about the room actually.

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.

Fantastic place. I have used this before the staff are extremely helpful and the food is excellent. Will always come back here

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!

very unique - quiet beautiful - simple accommodation in our family room but great food and so close to the park

Staff is great, on top of every detail. Property needs upgrade. It’s not like we expected it to be like its neighbor Jungle Lodge, but bathroom had some minor issues (odor, loose sink faucet), some room tiles were broken, and general appearance for the room could improve with minor upgrades in bed sheeting, decoration. Everything else was great, restaurant food quality is very good, service is great as well, location is superb.

Perfect place to stay in the park. The restaurant was convenient and had good food.

We couldn’t made it to the hotel, ‘cause the airline was very rude to us. Our flight was impossible to take it, so we didn’t have any experience in your hotel and is not be next time, we will go to some other places in which the tourist are well treated.
