Jaguarundi Jungle Lodge - Monteverde

Cabins, reached from the main lodge via a hanging bridge were comfortable and clean. Breakfast, in a dining room at the top of several flights of stairs was excellent. The Staff was friendly and helpful. Our visits for a jungle walk and visit to the Sloth compound were perfectly arranged with expert guides.

Loved our cabin in the jungle. Room was basic, but very clean, and high cielings. Enjoyed sitting on the porch outside my door and getting to look out into the woods each day (saw lots of birds, small mammals). Nice hiking trail on the property that was more challenging than I would have thought. The included breakfast was very good. The staff was great and very friendly. Would stay here again.

We had a fabulous time at the Jaguarundi Lodge. Peaceful, beautiful, clean. Upon arriving, we were greeted with a warm smile from Manfred, who played a big piece in making this stay fantastic. He shared info about the area, the trail on the property, and helped us identify some mammals that we saw as soon as we arrived. Yes, the Jaguarundi Lodge is a hidden gem, but so is Manfred! People really do enhance experiences and he did that for us. Manfred suggested taking the trail up to breakfast so we had a chance to spot the Howler Monkeys. Additionally, he was willing to go out of his way to find us help to bring our luggage across the adorable swinging bridge. Needless to say, this was the perfect stop on our “Tour de Costa Rica.” Manfred, BY FAR, has the been most helpful and kind person we’ve had the pleasure of crossing paths with in Costa Rica. Not to mention, the proximity to downtown was awesome. The Lodge is walking distance to many restaurants and shops along with a short drive to the Monteverde Cloud Forest. One of my favorite parts was sleeping with the windows open listening to the water trickling and all the wildlife, especially the birds! If you are in the fence about staying at the Lodge, DO IT. From the wonderful customer service, to beautiful property grounds, the local wildlife, and the true “jungle” feel of the rooms, you will not be disappointed!

The lodges really are in the middle of the rainforest. You will be waked by howler monkeys close to your lodges. Dylan and Manfred at the reception are very kind and helpful. A couple of smaller drawbacks, not really important to us: the cabins can be noisy (neighbors), there is no swimming pool and for breakfast you need to have a steep klimb.

Although the lodge is in town & walking distance to shops & restaurants, the cabins are set back off the road in a lush jungle garden with walking trails. Our little cabin was charming & very comfortable, if not fancy. Comfy bed, good shower, coffeemaker, toiletries — all the expected basics for a nice stay. Staff was super friendly & helpful. The free breakfast buffet is a short walk away at the affiliated Ficus Hotel next door. Would definitely stay here again — it was a good value in a pricey tourist destination.

The lodge was clean. The service was good. The breakfast location with views and food was superb. we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the wooden cabins with views of forest. Did a 1 km trail on the property and saw some birds and green house which was very beautiful. The staff are very friendly and gave suggestions for food and places to explore around the town.
