There are only three hotels for lodging within Tikal Park boundaries. All are near the parking lot and a few hundred yards from the visitors Center. No Tikal village or town exists in or out of the park other than the visitor center and gift shops. Normally each hotel has some type of telephone communication. None have 24 hrs electricity at this time. There are no ATMs in Tikal. (December 2009)

The Jaguar Inn: The Jaguar Inn is the most economical of the three. It is only a 10 minute walk from the ruins. The entrance to the hotel is dominated by the traditional thatched roofed restaurant building and its outdoor tables. The bungalows are set off discreetly to one side, surrounded by lush tropical jungle. There are 9 Bungalows with private bathrooms, hot water, ceiling fans, and porch hammocks. The restaurant is open to the public. The hotel also offers hammocks for rent, a small camping area behind the restaurant, and they offer money exchange and internet service.

Jungle Lodge: The Lodge offers 39 spacious rooms that have two double beds, and private bathrooms with hot water. High ceilings keep the rooms cool and each bungalow has its own small porch with chairs. The hotel is ideally situated within the Tikal National Park and offers the closest accommodations to the temples and pyramids. A swimming pool shaped like a Mayan Temple will help you to relax after your day of walking and climbing the temples.
