Juma Amazon Lodge

hotel de selva rustico com vista espectacular que permite uma experiência imersiva. Entrega o que propoe.

Tudo Excelente! Acomodações, refeições passeios! O ponto forte são os funcionários sempre muito receptivos! Experiencia incrível. Acredito que seja o melhor hotel selva da Amazônia.

Food terrible if veggie. Place is amazing . Staff excellent. Fab experience

Maravilhoso! Ótima experiência, ótimos passeios. A equipe toda é muito atenciosa e bem treinada. Recomendo e espero voltar!

O Hotel é perfeito para visitar a floresta Amazónica. A localização é perfeita e quase sem mosquitos, os mergulhos no rio são a melhor parte. Todo o pessoal é muito prestável. As visitas incluídas são muito boas e mantiveram-nos ocupados durante a nossa estadia.

Quite a basic lodge with rather a casuial attitude to customer care. The rooms are clean and fairly spartan with somewhat old sanitaryware. The view out onto the water from our room was beautiful and serene, until the motors of the lodge's boats started up early in the morning. Our guide was personable. Initially, he tended to show his true depth of knowledge when he was asked questions. As he got to know us, he responded to our specific interests. We were only there for one night, and the guide made sure that we did as much as we could during that time, so we were busy for the whole time, which suited us very well. He also took our individual needs into account, and when he discovered that we were interested in birds he cut short our fishing trip, with our agreement, and took us to a roosting site where thousands of birds were returning home at dusk. This really was a fascinating and beautiful experience. Food was, again, quite basic with a buffet for meals. Unfortunately the dishes had no information on them about their contents and so it was difficult for a vegetarian to make safe choices without the help of a guide. This would be an easy thing to correct. We did not know who to contact with problems and when, at night, we discovered that we had only one sheet on the bed, it was left to the cleaning staff to interpret our sign language (we don't speak the language) so it took a long time to resolve what should have been a simple problem.

Experiência muito boa na Amazônia. Sim é caro, como ainda não tive oportunidade de conhecer outros hotéis de selva não posso dizer se o preço do Juma realmente se justifica comparado ao das demais opções. Tem energia solar e tratamento de esgoto, ser sustentável não deveria ser tão caro não é? Por ser mais distante dos centros urbanos e a arquitetura de palafitas nos dá a sensação de maior integração com a natureza.

Great facilities and food. Disappointed by the lack of wildlife spotted during time on various trips. Perhaps this was due to the high water season.

It was quite an experience living the Amazon Jungle for 4 days. We enjoyed the parrots, monkeys, caimans (crocodiles) and piranha fishing. We would definitely return if given another opportunity.

Juma Lodge is not on the Amazon but about 2 to 3 hours south east, deep in the flooded rainforest. When we were there the waters were high making dry land a premium. Access from Manaus requires several road-boat transfers so do not expect some of the usual 5 star hotel marbled floors etc - instead be satisfied with pink dolphin gliding past as you lay in your hammock of your very private over-the-water room/building. Rooms are insect proof and cooled with fans - all adequate for May while we were there - and the best lakeside rooms are very private (no other building in site) and accessed longish walk-ways above the water. We had all the necessary facilities in the bed and bathroom and a private deck. The food is very good, ranking with the best we had in our stay in several major city hotels in Brazil and with a strong emphasis on local ingredients and cooking styles. The lodge still has some things to improve to maintain the highest eco standards but they are being put in place (e.g. solar power is replacing a generator etc) On arrival you are linked with a guide who will lead a group of 5 to 12 guests during their stay on a schedule determined as being the most suitable for the groups, their length of stay etc. We realised that some flexibility can be arranged by swapping between guides for particular activities.
