    All amazing.

    Simply a hidden gem, highlight of our trip. Navigate your way up the rough dirt track and in past the animal ICU to a hidden oasis. Beautifully clean and surrounded by parrots! The staff where amazing, chef stayed late to cook for us one eve after a trip. Breakfast and dinner delivered to your balcony overlooking jungle and the Pacific. Accomodations excellent there's even a yoga studio open to the jungle and animal life! A private tour of the rescue centre in the morning and then you get to lie in bed or the pool knowing your money is helping all the amazing rehab work going on. Sitting on the rooftop lookout in the morning watching the flock of Parrots in the nearby tree was zen encapsulated!

    We loved our stay at Wild Sun’s Jungle Lodge! Clean facilities, incredible wildlife sightings, and stunning jungle views with a refreshing pool. The staff and volunteers were friendly, and Jacqueline was especially welcoming and accommodating. Breakfasts were delicious, and we stayed for dinner when we could—amazing food that supports their wildlife rescue work. Highly recommend for a unique, meaningful experience

    The location is great, nice and secluded with a great view. They do amazing work helping the animals. Communication is easy via WhatsApp and you can walk to some restaurants in 15-20 minutes or use a car when you have it. The road is doable, we did it without a 4x4. National Park Cabo Blanco is closed on some days, so check it when you want to go there.

    The A/C is noisy. If you are sensitive to noise then you might not sleep well as the jungle is alive at night too. Nothing that good noise blockers cannot solve. For dinner there is no choice.

    It s in the jungle and you see all kinds of birds and animals. The pool in the midst of it all is refreshing. The owner was kind to not charge the fee when we shifted the date. We appreciated that.

    A little creeped out by the army ants in our outdoor (with privacy) washroom until I learned how beneficial they are... And they were gone in short order.

    It was great staying in the wilds of the jungle with enough amenities to be comfortable and know you are supporting the great work of the rescue centre. Great staff. Lots of wild things (Howler monkeys, McCaws, Capuchin monkeys, deer) in their natural habitat. You are just a quiet guest in their world. Don't come expecting the Marriott and you will do fine.

    This was an extraordinary stay. We received a warm welcome despite the late hour, care in helping us find the safest route to the property, great communication by staff at all times! We enjoyed beautiful sleep, glorious views and companions with breakfast as the macaws ate and flew around us, and a fun and funny tour of the facilities! The staff is lovely, kind, and treated us like good friends. They are doing amazing and loving work here and it was such a pleasure to see it up close by staying on the property.

    If you are someone who doesn't like bugs, this is not a place for you😁 Also maybe a desk or a hanger in the room wouldnt be a bad idea, since there are two people and two suitcases or backpacks.

    It is in the middle of the jungle, with views of the ocean and animals everywhere. They are doing a good thing rehabilitating animals. The pool was awesome, bed was big and comfortable.

    Everything was fantastic! Note that Montezuma is a drive, this is a place for quietude. Bring what you need as you arrive rather than going out.

    high quality rooms on the 2nd floor with fantastic views. wonderful breakfast serviced on the terrace. Loud howler monkey noises added to ambience! Morning tour was fantastic. A favorite place to stay on our trip! We ate on the beach at Cabala resort - recommended. A parade of animals! Took a dip in the small pool.

    Would have been helpful to know that there were no food options at the hotel the evening of our arrival.

    Woke up to a sunrise chorus of howler monkeys, macaws, and numerous other birds. Feel asleep to an insect and frog lullaby.

    A challenging but rewarding destination with great staff and eco-friendly credentials
    • Business trip
    • Family with young children
    • Superior Double Room
    • Stayed 4 nights

    An extremely difficult area to travel to and 4x4s are a necessity (you can rent ATVs locally if needed) - if traveling during the wet season, river crossings will be required. Local infrastructure and facilities are underdeveloped and so this isn't a suitable destination if you are seeking comfort and luxury but it does have a lot of charm if you're prepared to accept it is underdeveloped. Guest services are extremely limited - there is no bar or on-premises shop, breakfast is served at a set time that is non-negotiable, and dinner arrangements are basic plus must be made in advance. Don't expect open access to the rescue center, this is very much a working site and there are strict rules to separate guests from the wildlife rescue center

    A stunning visitors block is built alongside the more modest wildlife rescue center with very comfortable airconditioned rooms and a great breakfast served on the balcony or next to the pool. The local wildlife wanders through at leisure and they have a very interesting conservation program and the staff will do anything to help you and advise/facilitate tours in the local area. If you stay as a guest your fee goes towards the rescue center and conservation programme so you'll feel good that you're supporting the cause.

    I would have liked early check-in but they have a 2pm hard start time, otherwise no complaints.

    I loved the friendly staff who took care of all my requests. The grounds of this place are stunning, if you love animals they are all over, parrots, monkeys, and more just roaming free. The room was also great and exceeded my expectations based on photos. There's an incredible observation deck you can hang out on.

    Everything was amazing i didnt want to leave, what can i say scarlet macaws flying around, monkeys, butterflies, bats, iguanas and more. All the staff were amazing and we were served breakfast on our balcony every morning. As this is a centre for the rehabilitation of wild animals to release them back into the wild, all the money goes back in so it is non-profit making, i was more than happy i chose to stay here knowing my money was being spent on these lovely animals. The accommodation was absolutely fabulous and the pool was great to relax in whilst watching wildlife. I will definately be going back here.
