The Jaguars Jungle Rainforest Lodge - All meals included

L'accueil

We really loved the place, The grounds were gorgeous with beautiful and differing differing views from all over the large campus. The rock outcropping all along the waterfront was particularly beautiful. Each cabin was nicely designed and with wonderful architectural elements; stone bathrooms, as well. There were walking trails in all directions and many animals and birds to view. The entire campus was huge and gorgeous and very well-taken care of and it included orchards and a greenhouse. It was a truly gorgeous destination!!! The mother and original owner, (living on the premises) was wonderfully friendly; very welcoming, interesting and lovely in every way. She walked often with me, told the history and stories about the place. And, she had a live-in cat that was found in the National Park. Loved visiting the amazingly beautiful Tortoiseshell cat. Wonderful staff, Actually they were beyond wonderful and helpful in every possible way. Jean Carlos and Everlast (or a name close to that) were unbelievably wonderful and went beyond their job duties; so helpful and friendly and running to us to tell about particular animals spotted.

La posizione è veramente pazzesca, un posto stupendo. Lo staff al bar è gentile, il tour che abbiamo fatto di sera è stato interessante e piacevole.

Ein Wahnsinnserlebnis. Die Lodge liegt direkt am Meer. Die Anreise erfolgte mit dem Schiff. Die Anlage besteht aus einem ungeheuer gut gepflegten Rasen, auf dem sich Affen, Tucane und mit etwas Glück Tapire und Pumas tummeln. Der Manager kümmert sich vortrefflich und der Barkeeper David überrascht auf Wunsch ständig mit neuen Cocktail-Kreationen, die perfekt zum perfekten Paradisambiente passen.

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).

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.

The Jaguars Jungle Lodge was incredible and I highly recommend staying here if you are interested in experiencing the best location in Costa Rica. We have been to Costa Rica six times and this was our favorite lodge. The location next to Corcovado allows for wildlife viewing that is rare within Costa Rica. Most lodges even within the Osa are not located in wilderness. We saw tapirs every night on the property during our 3 night stay. Another group saw a puma shortly prior to our arrival. It does require an adventurous spirit to journey to this lodge and luxuries such as air conditioning are simply not possible in such a remote location. However we were quite comfortable at Jaguars Jungle Lodge. The food was excellent, our room was comfortable and staff as well as our guide were great. We enjoyed hiking the trails around the lodge and coastline, snorkeling, the night nature tour, hiking to remote beaches and swimming at the beach in front of the lodge. Our children ages 12, 15 and 18 also thought it was fantastic. This location allows for a much different experience than many areas in Costa Rica where throngs of tourists walk the trails.

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.

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

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.

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!!

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.

Fantastic location. Perfect sunsets. Visits from Toucans, Macaws and white faced capuchins. Friendly staff. Simple but satisfying meals. Clean rooms and bathrooms. Rob and Eddie were more than hospitable.

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