Jaguarundi Jungle Lodge - Monteverde

This hotel has a serious problem with sound insulation between rooms, you can hear absolutely everything that happens in the neighboring room, even whispering. The people at the hotel know this but they dont do anything, they told me that this is because the cabins are rustic style, but I don't think this makes any sense, they are simply poorly designed and built. Otherwise the hotel facilities and breakfast are fine, however, it is not worth it because the sound issue is very significant.

Love the property!! The room itself was great. Luís was especially lovely and accommodating on reception! Reception were kind enough to take our bags to our room whilst we were out in Monteverde Centre (as we arrived before check in time). Lovely little hanging bridge on our way to our room which we enjoyed daily! The breakfast was also delicious & had a gorgeous view!

The lighting in our room wasn’t the best but we didn’t spend much time in our room in general so we didn’t mind.

Superb breakfast in the adjoining hotel. Lots of animals around, we had a capuchin monkey come to our cabin. Very friendly and helpful receptionist.

The bathroom was a bit basic. There were tiny bugs in the beds which we were afraid could be bed bugs.

The location in the forest was beautiful, we had coatis and agoutis at our window. The staff were very welcoming and informative when we checked in.

Location and setting were excellent. Walkable to restaurants and town. Staff is wonderful, caring and seek to be helpful. Happy hour and free breakfast are up the hill and very good. Away from road noise. A glamping type experience - more rustic than glamorous. Price was also very reasonable for a high tourism area (good value to the price). Restroom off lobby to change clothes if you arrive before check-in. Shower was high pressure and hot. You can ask for a hair dryer at the front desk. You will want it to dry your hair and the mirror (see didn’t like comments).

Room has no AC or heat and a hot shower makes the bathroom a wet floor mess due to condensation. Walls are thin and you do hear neighbors low voice conversations. Property is on a hill side, so if you aren’t able to walk unaided, you would have a difficult time here. There is no WiFi at the unit. Only a couple of power outlets. It can be cool. Warm night clothes recommended and the spare blanket will be used. Pluses of location and setting outweigh the minuses. If neighbor noises might bother you, earplugs or headphones might help out.

Breakfast was good and the surrounding area is beautiful, walking distance to town which is great.

Was cold in the room the first night, maybe a small electric heater would be good.

This was an incredible place to stay for our honeymoon! our room was surrounded by wildlife. We loved going to sleep with the sound of the animals around us. We quite enjoyed walking up to the sister hotel for our breakfast and doing the 1km loop walk around the grounds (we saw howler monkeys, turkeys, agoutis and a toucan!). It was so close to town so we could walk in for dinner if we wanted. Reception staff were exceptional - so friendly and helpful!

We would have like the bar next to reception to be open so as we could take a drink back to our room / sit and enjoy a drink there. You can hear the people in the room next to you but we weren't really bothered by this!

Everything,amaizing place

Cold and a lot of humidity in the room.

The situation was fabulous, really lovely, set anoint amongst trees. Howler monkeys howling ! and Capuchins in the trees around the lodge. Very convenient for walking into Monteverde and visiting the attractions locally. All the staff were great in particular the lad on reception whose name I think was Louis...? He was super helpful.

Absolutely no soundproofing between lodges. We could hear conversations very clearly and the bed creaking adjacent to us !! 🤔

Wonderful location in the forest but 5 minutes to town. Good breakfast and evening meal at the Fig , which they combine with for dining . Excellent friendly helpful staff , particularly Luis on the front desk . Arranged trips for us and everything on time . Highly recommend don something coffee and chocolate tour .

A little arduous first thing walking uphill to breakfast but no big deal
