The Jaguars Jungle Rainforest Lodge - All meals included

Amazing

Pros: Exceptional location a bit further and quieter from crazy Drake Bay. We had the bungalow with the traditional roof made of fishtail palm leaves and could just open the door to see the waves crash on the rocks just in front of it - dreamy!! Outdoor shower: nothing to top that! The food was so nice, especially the traditional Tico breakfast and the pastries omg! Staff was super kind and helpful. The best part about Jungla del Jaguar is without a doubt their guide Yasnir. Yasnir is very knowledgeable and passionate. He has also many interesting and intense stories to tell about his wildlife encounters in and out of the national park! Make sure to build up a minimum of physical condition before going on the Corcovado daytrip, it is quite a challenging hike with walking up (and down) a lot of muddy hills, and you will be walking 6 to 7 hours in hot and humid conditions! (With the awesome wildlife and forest beauty distractions, needless to say it's totally worth it).

Cons: /

Just go to Corcavado and the Jaguar. Just do it.

Pros: If there's one thing you should do in CR, is go to Corcavado, and while there, give Rob and his team a visit. Ang go on trips, save money some place else.

Cons: Nothing really.

Pros: Beautiful setting on the beach with a well-maintained large garden connecting to a 2nd private beach, Very nicely and meticulously designed lodge with limited group attendance. Helpful and friendly staff for visit, expeditions.... observation of animals happens on the property premises, very close range... making it quite unique.

Cons: Some of the shared bathroom could benefit from some occasional additional checks during the day.

We would not come back for excursions but to stay at nature we would visit again.

Pros: Incredible location, great views of nature. Stylish and done with taste.

Cons: Floor in room after cleaning was still full of sand especially the carpet also I got two ticks so they should do something about ticks in the property. I found one on the bed and two on my skin. Also excursion with whales was overpriced but we didn’t see any an excursion was same length as others same style but cost us $450 extremely overpriced and we should be told that it is a rare chance to meet Wales in this season . All excursions we had were disappointed, and very comercial without proper explanations and gide on the property had very poor English so he couldn’t understand us sometimes when we asked questions neither could explain about nature.

This spot is about as idyllic as jungle retreats come.

Pros: Everything about JJL was very good -excellent. The room and bathroom were both huge and very nicely decorated in an appropriate rustic/natural style. Location is superb!! Wildlife and bird viewing on the property were good (and I'm very spoiled in that context as I live in the jungles of Costa Rica). We even had a visit from a giant tapir two nights in a row which was very special.

Cons: The guided hike into Corcovado NP was underwhelming (not the fault of JLL of course). In my view there are far too many people accessing the park and trails are too limited to allow for good probability of unique bird and wildlife sightings.

Amazing wildlife and beautiful lodge grounds! Highly recommend.

Pros: Absolutely beautiful tropical paradise! We saw tapirs, coatis, monkeys, toucans, macaws and other birds on the property. The meals were absolutely delicious and plentiful and the staff were friendly! Highly recommend a stay here!!

Cons: We were disappointed with the tours and had been really looking forward to them after reading previous reviews. Our tour dates were all rescheduled and the Cano island tour scheduled for 8am left at 2pm limiting both our time and the visibility.

Excellent.

Pros: The staff was amiable and helpful, we had a very restful vacation. We saw a lot of biodiversity and even wild animals on the property. the food was delicious.

Great location but the vibe was off

Pros: Great location, beautiful surroundings and so much wildlife! The property is nice, food was excellent and communication before arrival was great

Cons: Experience with the staff was mixed, sometimes friendly….sometimes not, felt like asking for something was an inconvenience & comments about the tour we booked with another company were rude

A life time experience

Pros: This place has everything - top service, delicious home made food including afternoon tea, 3 private beaches, breathtaking views and incredible fauna at your door step - a puma came to check the garden when we stayed there. We were at the bungalov and loved the architecure of it and details such as 2 showers, massive wooden furniture and double hammock in front outside the door. All the guys working there will make sure you will not want to leave the place (my favourite is the lady in charge of the kitchen). There is a bit of perfection and love in everything they all do. The food plan is set perfectly and extra drinks can be bought at the bar.

Cons: The early check out depends on the only boat service from Sierpe which brings the question about Jaguar owning a boat with own captain and staff & being independent on the cheeky guys with clearly overpriced journeys. But I guess I am not the first person to suggest that plus I might be wrong.

Beautiful stay away feom the real world

Pros: Beautiful location. The view is amazing. No large capacity so not many people around. The tours were fun. Yaznir did a great job! The food was nice.

Cons: The room was quite hot, even a night. Only a small fan at the ceiling. There were quite a lot of bugs in the room, which didn’t help with a comfortable sleep. But you’re in the jungle so it comes with the package.
