Evergreen Lodge

Location is outstanding with capuchin and howler monkeys on site and very present. It's a place you go to see wildlife out on the water with the amazing local guides and we saw so many different birds, geckos, crocs and monkeys in their natural habitat. The hotel is beautifully laid out, though rooms are quite basic. No glass in the windows, just insect mesh protection meaning it can feel quite damp particularly when it rains, which it does often. And it can be noisy with howler monkeys waking us up at 5am. Food was good but not high end. Staff amazing. Local "town" can be visited via water based transportation. Go for the overall experience.

Excellent lodge in the rainforest. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. They went out of their way to accommodate your needs such as providing vegetarian options for the meals. Excellent food with a good choice. ||Really great place for wildlife watching - we sat by the pool watching an iguana climbing a tree, saw monkeys leaping from tree to tree, agoutis in the undergrowth and red & blue dart frogs. ||This hotel would not be for everyone though - it is very rustic and you are right in the rainforest. The rooms don’t have glass windows so there is a lot of jungle noise.

Our room was extremely austere and looked nothing at all like the marketing photos. The walls were completely bare and there are no windows with only screens meant to keep insects out. The wildlife noise was fun to hear for a while, until the monkeys started throwing nuts and branches on the metal roof which was very loud and continuous. You will hear everything your next door neighbors say, especially outdoor conversations. The shower leaked all over the bathroom floor and water pressure was just a trickle. |There was torrential rain for much of our stay (two nights), so employees use noisy gas powered leaf blowers attempting to keep patios and walkways dry. Since there are no windows, there was no way to keep the smelly exhaust fumes from entering our room. The ceiling fan was very wobbly and noisy, but we had to keep it on because of the extreme humidity. All of our clothing got musty and damp and anything made of paper got damp and wilted (including our passports that we kept in the safe). There are no hooks or clothing bars to hang anything. ||The food was fine and the pool is nice. You will definitely see monkeys and other wildlife as you walk around the property.

What an amazing place to stay! As mentioned by others, this is not a standard luxury resort but the experience they create in the rainforest is extraordinary and memorable. The vast majority of guests stay for two nights and have a standard tour itinerary but it is possible to stay an extra night. The rooms are comfortable and the mesh windows make you feel like you are part of the rainforest. The sounds of the forest are amazing. The boat trips and wildlife walks were superb.

Amazing rainforest stay, mesh windows giving the sound and smells from outside so amazing. So much to see and hear, agouti running about, birds everywhere. Trips interesting and full of information. Food plentiful, watching the antics of the resident white faced capuchin trying to steal food entertaining.

Great location as we saw wildlife on the site and on the river and canals closeby.|Room basic but large and clean. Fine mesh covers windows as glass is inapporopriate for the temperature.|Had a safe but no facility to make a drink.|Good local dishes served in restaurant.|A very pleasant bar overlooking the river.|The staff were brilliant and helpful.|Highly recommend.

The staff here are incredible. they truly make you feel like royalty. Everyone is so kind and attentive! My husband is vegan, and they went out of their way to prepare a special dish for him every day. As soon as he walked in, they recognized him and brought out his meal without him even asking. On our last morning, we had an early departure around 5:30 a.m. and didn’t expect to have breakfast. But one of the staff noticed us waiting for our ride, went inside, and started preparing breakfast for us anyway. They even coordinated with the front desk and invited us to stop by before we left. We couldn’t stay, but it was such a thoughtful and heartwarming gesture. a perfect example of how genuinely caring they are.

Great experience in the rainforest with lots of wildlife to see. ||The room is very basic and could do with a refresh. The rooms you see on the photos didn’t reflect our room. That said it was clean. The rooms don’t have windows but mesh so there is no soundproofing from nature, which is fabulous, but loud. It rained continually through our stay and as there is no drying room and we are in the rainforest, everything got wet or damp and we were not able to dry things out. ||Food is basic but fine for a short stay and they catered for my vegetarian diet.||Super experience all over and the staff were great.
