Amazing hotel in the middle of the nature on the lake. So peaceful amd quiet away from the city surrounded by the forest. Lynn and Enrico will welcome you as family and Enrico will cook for you excellent meals. Tikal amd Yaxha very close by "colectivo". Pool, wifi, bungalows big, clean and comfortable with a fantastic view on the lake. Don't miss this hotel... it really worth it for great vacations and rest.

MZPJL is one of its kind in the El Remate area. We experienced personalized care from Enrico and company and thoroughly enjoyed staying in the lodge. The bunglows are spacious with hot water and Enrico and company cook hot meals which are just delicious to the last bite. Enrico arranged all the tours ( to Tikal etc.) for us and provided us rides from the lodge to the parking area where we were picked up by the tour company provided vehicles. If you want a peaceful stay with amazing lakeviews of sunsets and hot home cooked meals i strongly recommend MZPJL.

Gateway to Maya World
Far from the hustle/bustle of resort areas. In unspoiled jungle, ENRICO and LYNN have built a pristine oasis that serves as a PERFECT jumping-off point for Tikal (and for the adventurous, FAR MORE). My friend and travel partner plan to return soon for one or more robust expeditions to ancient ruins that few people ever hear about. And Enrico is the PERFECT host because HE helped pioneer MANY of those. Enjoyed our first stay greatly !

We had a fantastic stay at Maya Zacpeten Jungle Lodge! The property is beautiful and situated away from the little town via a road that you need a 4wheel drive for. The hosts are very friendly and work hard to make sure you are having a great time. The lodge arranged our tour of Tikal and we took their recommendation to get up early and see the ruins before the sun and crowds came in. We are very glad we took their advice! They didn't mind waking up at 5AM to drive us down the road to our tour either. The pool was peaceful and a great refuge from the heat of the afternoon. The monkeys flying on vines while we were swimming will be long remembered. The lake is very peaceful and puts on a great sunset show. I can't say enough good things about this lucky find. We would not hesitate to return and hope to someday. We were a family of four traveling with a 10yo and 8yo.

Jungle Lodge Unique Place
The Jungle Lodge has lots going for it- a beautiful, if difficult to access, location. The site is on a lake and the grounds are beautifully kept - a kind of manicured jungle. The hosts are super friendly and really interesting people who are very knowledgeable about the country and the immediate vicinity. It takes some effort to get there and back from town which can be a big plus if seclusion and a unique experience is what you are looking for. The hosts were great about shuttling us back and forth when needed. They have meals available - a little pricey, but the food is good and the conversations are compelling. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to folks who are interested in off the beaten path experiences.

GREAT VACATION IN THE JUNGLE
IN THE MONTH OF APRIL ON WAY TO TIKAL I STAYED AT MAYA ZAC PETEN JUNGLE LODGE, WHAT AN EXPERIENCE. I NEVER THOUGHT THAT IT WAS SO EASY TO FIND MYSELF IN SUCH BEAUTIFUL SURROUNDINGS. THE JUNGLE MUSIC OF THE BIRDS KEPT ME ENTERTAINED DURING THE EVENING. THE MORNING WAKEUP WAS SPECTULAR FROM BUNGALOW NO. 6, HUNDREDS OF BIRDS CRUSING THE LAKE REFLECTING THEIR SHADOWS ON THE SURFACE OF THE LAKE. THE STAFF MADE ME FEEL AT HOME, ALWAYS READY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT I MAY HAVE HAD, THEY ORGANIZED A GREAT TOUR FOR ME TO TIKAL WITH A LOCAL COMPANY. ON MY RETURN THEY HAD ALREADY ARRANGED FOR ME TO BE TRANSFERRED TO THE AIRPORT IN FLORES. THE ONLY THINGS THAT I COULD SAY ABOUT THIS WONDERFUL PLACE IS GOOD JOB AND THANK YOU ! !

Desayuno poco nutricio.
Tienen que aclarar que el parqueo queda tan lejos que te llevan y traen con un costo adicional cuando no es check in o out y requiere llamar por teléfono para coordinar. El desayuno es muy escaso, una empanada con jalea fruta y café y si uno pasó la noche ahi para visitar Tikal requiere un buen desayuno ya que en Tikal solo venden snacks y gaseosas. Pasamos todo el dia con hambre caminando sin cesar por horas en Tikal. Cambian las toallas pero no limpian ni hacen las camas. El entorno es espectacular.

Un endroit tranquille, éloigné de tout, dans lequel on se sent très bien, seul au monde. Réveillé avec les gazouillis des oiseaux, la beauté du lac en toile de fond, et la végétation tropicale savamment entretenue, voilà le cadre. Enrico vient vous chercher avec son camion 4x4 au parking (moyennent 80 Qtz) qui se trouve à 30 min de marche (n'essayer pas avec votre voiture, vous allez rester bloqué :-)), et Lynne vous prépare petit déjeuner et diner (100 Qtz) avec des plats copieux et gouteux. Très bel endroit bien placé pour aller visiter Tikal, Axha, Flores, et les alentours. On a adoré !

DESCANSO ESPECTACULAR EN UN PARAISO
Tuve la oportunidad de pasar un fin de semana con mi familia, disfrutando de la madre naturaliza no solo en su entorno de bosques sino el escuchar el canto de los pájaros al amanecer. Aprovechando ademan bañarnos en la piscina que está disponible. El Viaje en barco fuen una aventura formidable para las niñas, quienes gozaron por la noche ver los ojos de cocodrilos. El hotel es muy comod, limpio, buena comida y su personal muy amistoso, brindando desde el check in confianza. A quienes les gusta disfrutar de la naturaleza, aventura, sin perder la buena comodidad y pasar junto con su familia desconectados de la tecnología, les recomiendo este hotel.
