Green Diamond Amazon Lodge

Das Personal und die Art und Weise, wie sie Ihren Aufenthalt organisieren, sind großartig. Leckeres Essen, entspannte, freundliche Atmosphäre und spannende Events und Touren. Aber unbequeme Bungalows mit Unmengen von Insekten in der Nacht. Keine roten Aras an der Lehmwand, mangelnde Englischkenntnisse bei einigen Guides. Also nahezu perfekt, es gibt Raum für Entwicklung und Investitionen.

Had an amazing time at Green Diamond! The staff were very welcoming and the site is well kept and homely. Our lodge/bungalow was well equipped with a large bathroom, 2 comfy beds, a terrrace with hammock and many mosquito nets. The food is amazing with every meal being different and interesting. Our guide, Josè, was incredibly knowledgeable and spotted many things on our excursions that we never would. We had a birthday in our group when we were there and they helped us buy a cake to celebrate. Thank you.

It’s a must to enjoy the Amazonian whole experience. The staff has taken care of us and feed us with delicious homemade dishes. Thanks very much to Dalai, Hugo, Alexa and the wonderful Jose, the best tour guide!

Overall a great experience. Did the 4 days/3 nights and it was filled with a good mix of activities and opportunities to relax. If I could do it again, I would just decline the native people tour. Sounds like a great idea but didn’t feel like we got a lot out of it. But everything else was great. Food is delicious and the staff are very friendly. The guides are knowledgeable and we learned a great deal from them. The power isn’t on all day but it was really nice to disconnect. Yes, there isn’t hot water for showers but it’s so hot and humid that we never wanted anything but cold showers.

Pros: If you’re lucky enough and they hired a freelance guide named Bryan (ig: amazingvacations_tambopata) you’re in for a great time for the activities. He’s the best guide I’ve ever had. He’s very passionate and knowledgeable about the jungle and his job. He goes the extra mile to make sure his tourists are doing well and get to experience as much jungle life as possible. When I was sick, he was practically my emergency doctor. He’s super fun and reliable. Cons: This lodge does have their own permanent guide, I think his name is Jose. He’s not very friendly and put me through some troubles when I tried to arrange a departure time with the lodge. Everyone would mostly likely get this guide for their activities at this lodge since he’s the permanent guide. There are no fans in the rooms and they only have electricity for a few hours everyday with only 1 electric fan in the entire common room. They don’t have any hand-held manual fan. It got extremely hot during the day and I had multiple heat strokes. The rooms are not that clean (especially the bathroom) for the price that they charge (~ $400 USD per person before tips for 4 days). The bathroom floor and walls are moldy and slimy. Top of the mosquito nets have tons of dead insects upon our arrival, it seemed like it wasn’t cleaned before our checkin. I forgot whether they’ve mentioned that they don’t have hot water, but there’s no hot water for showering. There are also no water from midnight till ~6am, so good luck if you need to use the restroom at night. The food had enough variety, but quality and quantity were insufficient. Meals are mostly consisted of carbs. I also started having food poisoning symptoms since I arrived at this lodge. Not sure if it’s something in the food or the water. Some staff in this lodge (I think her name is Dalaï based on what Jose told me) also tried to push my departure time an hour earlier so she could pickup the new guests immediately when they arrived without taking another trip for her convenience and cost. I had to contact one of the upper management of the lodge and express the fact that just because I’m a guest who is leaving doesn’t it make it right to completely sacrifice my convenience so they could please the new guests. Eventually this manager was able to work out a much more reasonable departure time for me.

Decepcionante relación calidad precio. Las actividades no cumplen en absoluto las expectativas, están demasiado espaciadas y no hay flexibilidad para cambiarlas. Te prometen actividades que decepcionan y no ves animales. La visita a los nativos es una fantochada vergonzosa. La organización de las actividades es pésima: al sol a la tarde en la peor hora de calor, hay largas horas entre medio donde no hay nada que hacer en el lodge porque no hay electricidad. El espacio común está descuidado. No hay música, ni juegos buenos, no tiene ventilador. No hay insumos básicos para consumir entre comidas: cerveza fría, alimentos para picar, papas. Una barra. Éramos 15 personas y 5 cervezas. Tampoco hay agua fría, con 35 grados. No hay electricidad o wifi en los horarios en los que no hay actividades para los huéspedes, lo cual implica que te morís de calor y aburrimiento por 6 horas hasta que llega la hora de tu actividad. No hay limpieza diaria de las habitaciones, salvo que la pidas. Ni reposición de papel higiénico o vaciado del cesto (servicio que debiese ser el mínimo). El personal es bien predispuesto, pero hacen lo que pueden ante un dueño ausente e incompetente. No les importa que disfrutes tus vacaciones.
