We loved the ambiance of the property and the owners were friendly, helpful, and gave great service. We also loved our private bungalow tucked into the jungle setting. Communication was also excellent prior to arrival.

We enjoyed the meals and the staff were great

“Not worthwhile.”

Unfortunately the Monkey Lodge is not a jungle lodge nor even a decent place to stay. Located next to the highway, one hears traffic day and night. It is a kind of large green garden with wooden cabins. The hotel has no infrastructure, doesn’t serve lunch and with a kind of zoo area, where some monkeys are helt. Excursions are standard, offered by the local tourist services. No need to stay at this lodge for them. Not worth it.

“BEST TROPICAL STAY!”

Can’t miss this!!! The staff is so fun and friendly! Getting there was so easy with the reference video they sent. The food is delicious , Yoga classes are a must, and the tours were amazing, we saw a lot of animals!! Full Nature contact, relaxation and good vibes! Thank you for everything!!!

“We left in the middle of the night, slept in car, they cheated us!”

We waited for over one hour, they did not open the door, no answer to phone call, these people are mad !!!

“Very nice”

Good food, very nice surroundings and garden

“Not worth the trip!”

The bed was quite comfortable and the air conditioning worked well.

“Dissapointing. Attention: 4 big dogs”

The outdoor area is quite nice with nice chairs and a pool. It was nice to see the monkeys that close. Even they are in a cage, they seem to be treated nicely.

In the nature

“Secured but not authentic enough for us”

The room was clean and spacious! We had a good dinner and breakfast and the dogs were cute!

“Not for everyone, as long as you are prepared.”

There is a small bar, restaurant on site next the pool, which is pleasant and surrounded by greenery. The evening meal on offer, as there are limited opinions, served between 7pm - 8pm, was delicious and clearly prepared by a trained cook. Unfortunately, this doesn't extend to the breakfast included in the nightly rate, as this was very basic and disappointing on both mornings. The five monkeys on site can be seen through a large fenced off area, which was entertaining. Both the hosts were friendly and always available to help.

Nice place on beautiful garden. Monkeys are locked on small area but you can see them. Bungalows are quite big.

Ambiance, atmosphere. Personal touch. The daytrip on the lake and canal .the host was our personal guide .

“A great chance to relax and experience some rainforest recuperation.”

Monkey Lodge is very secluded and difficult to find after dark. Not a criticism, but try to arrive during daylight. The bunglows scattered through the property are lovely. They're not at all basic, but air conditioned (if needed), with fan. The bathroom facilities were good. It was a great place to relax and have a quiet time. The pool was great for sitting around in the evening and early morning. Food was brilliant - home cooked and excellent. The tours offered are incredible, in that they are relaxed, it never feels like there's a time agenda and everyone is accommodating. It very much feels as if everyone loves what they are doing - probably because they are.

“Cute Bungalow, nice garden, loving dogs”

Super nice garden with a lot of nice places to chill at or take a dip in the pool. Tasty breakfast with some affectionate (well trained) dogs around. They also take care of some really curious and cute monkeys that you can watch for hours. They also helped us find a way to a nice trail and saved us part of the entrance fee as we arrived with their guide.

“Incredible.”

Monkey lodge is a real gem - the family who run it are wonderful, and the food was wonderful. The setting is incredible. They organised transfers for us, and we paid extra for a boat tour where we got to hand feed monkeys - a once in a lifetime experience.

“Fun, happy & relaxing 💜”

The people running it! Mia and Max are absolutely lovely. Their openness to wishes and wants, ability to make even a trip in the rain super fun and just their happy vibes are a joy to be around!

“Relaxed and well located for Gamboa Rainforest and all it has to offer. Very welcoming hosts and lovely food.”

Well located, lovely pool and delicious food.

“Wish i could have stayed an extra night.”

Very friendly hosts and amazing property with well thought out spaces and an amazing puppy to play fetch with.
