Very nice property in the jungle. Room was spacious and very clean. Wifi worked fine. No A/C but this is not a big issue. Breakfast was delicious. Staff very helpful. The only problem for me was lack of hairdryers- there is one for the whole property and I wasn’t able to get it during my whole stay. Definitely recommend!

This was a last minute booking after a late change of plan. However we were very happy with our stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the location excellent for walking to restaurants. We stayed in a superior cabin, which was spacious. The bathroom needed updating and there was a musty smell, but it is surrounded by damp jungle, so I guess that’s what you have to expect!

The Jaguarund is the perfect jungle lodge nestled in the forest next to town. There is a lot of wildlife and trails you can hike on site. Ana and Menado were very helpful and nice. The breakfast is delicious, especially the home made marmalade. It's hard to beat this place for a mix of jungle and convenience! I’ll definitely be back

This place was OK a bit noisy because we heard motorbikes all night which kind of ruined the jungle experience I wouldn’t stay here again I’ll try and get something a little bit more quieter

Les chambres ont du charme, tout en bois. Petit déjeuner très bien, personnel charmant Seul inconvénient les cloisons entre les chambres sont très minces.. Ennuyeux si les voisins sont bruyants

Gorgeous setting. Rustic rooms are very basic. Breakfast & service lovely. VERY convenient just next to town.

Visiting Monteverde we knew it was going to be a bit colder, darker, rainier. However, when booking hotels - everything was so expensive. We settled on this hotel. The location is great, right in the forest and you feel like you are quite isolated in your own nature reserve which is awesome! However our room was very damp and smelt of mould (and had mould on the clothes hangers). The rooms and decor are very dark (dark wood, 70s patterns on the bedding and curtains) so all together it just felt very drab. They could benefit from a few upgrades/brightening up (neutral colours) and better ventilation to truly make this hotel amazing. Staff were excellent though and very helpful! Downside if you are staying in one of the cabins is that you do have to trek quite a bit with your luggage to get to the room and parking near the cabins is minimal. If you have mobility issues I would recommend staying in one of the main building rooms or requesting a cabin closer to the restaurant.

Wonderful staff accommodating great location mini animals and birds right off your balcony

Before you book this property please note that some of the cabins require walking up steep, stony sidewalks. Getting my suitcase up to my cabin was challenging. Staff did not offer to help porter our luggage, but then again there was just one girl at the counter when we checked in. Otherwise our room was spotless with a nice hot shower and decent WiFi despite the fact that it is advertised as only being available in common areas. There is no a/c or heat. We weren’t uncomfortable but it would have been nice to remove some of the humidity. Breakfast is included and delicious. It was nice being in jungle just up the hill from the main road. Walls are very thin. If possible ask them for a unit which has an empty unit next door. Smokers need to walk downhill off the property to smoke. Lovely stay overall for two nights

We saw monkeys!!! And a Jaguarandi!! This was the best hotel we stayed at.

I stayed here in the rustic cabins with my two teenage sons. Yes, as others say you can hear everything your neighbors say. The pillows are flat and there is a musty smell in the rooms. But, you feel like you’re in the jungle in the middle of town. It’s a 2 min walk. The breakfast is excellent, the staff are wonderful. You can walk on the grounds or enjoy the hanging bridge. I would definitely stay here again.

Great - you are really close to the town, but in the jungle. We saw any animals - just outside our terrace.

Secluded though close to town. Breakfast was good. People were great.

I really like the cleanliness of the property.

Beautiful location in the middle of the mountains. Restaurants and activities are a short walking distance. And the staff are great, they help you with anything you need! Definitely recommended!

The staff is so friendly and helpful, breakfast is free and you go to sleep and wake up in the jungle!!! I read a couple reviews that said the walls are thin, that you can hear other guest, birds, rain etc and it’s true but honestly who cares you’re sleeping in the jungle. The pay off is well worth it to me. I saw monkeys and agoutis, huge butterflies, amazing colorful birds including giant toucans and so many hummingbirds. The accommodations are simple but again, the location is unbeatable and if you have a good attitude the place will love you back. The shower was hot, the bed was comfortable. It is everything you need. The staff were such a joy, I can’t emphasize that enough. They helped me arrange shuttles and were patient with my lack of proficiency in Spanish. Also great location to town. I thoroughly enjoyed my time and would definitely come back! Thank you Jaguarundi!!!

It was ok

Great location let down by the service. We arrived and the reception area was closed, there was no information whatsoever on how we could get hold of anyone. I called the hotel number several times and eventually someone answered and asked us to collect the key from the hotel next door. Only it wasn't next door. After wandering around for over 30 minutes they eventually sent someone to come and check us in. This is not what I expect when I book a hotel, I was very disappointed. The accommodation itself was great, I loved the location, the set up and the layout. Shame about the service.

the staff was very accommodating. As we could not reach expedia to change our scheduled stay, we managed it through the staff. First they asked to follow the Expedia rule but once we realized it wasn't going to work, they took it upon themselves to arrange our schedule, which was much appreciated. It was very nice to see some wildlife within the lodge coumpund: monkeys, agoutis...

Pros: Cool location in the jungle Close to everything in town Spacious rooms Service/staff helpful Free breakfast Wifi was decent Free parking Great price Cons: Very big con. SUPER noisy. Walls are paper thin and since it’s in the jungle random object drop on the roof all day and night and the roof is tin.

Loved it's closeness to the center of Santa Elena BUT that you are literally right in the middle of the forest, was amazing. My only complaint was while the staff was friendly and wanted to help you all the service was extremely slow. Property should be described as very steep so that elderly people know not to book there or book rooms only close to reception
