View All Photos Jungala Hotel at VidantaWorld Riviera Maya
Occupying a jungle-wrapped corner of the sprawling VidantaWorld Riviera Maya complex south of Playa del Carmen, Jungala trades all-inclusive sprawl for something more intimate: one-bedroom suites wrapped in reclaimed wood and floor-to-ceiling glass, each opening onto a private terrace threaded through tropical canopy. The suites share their grounds with Jungala Aqua Experience, a resort-only waterpark built around a kilometer-long lazy river, a 1.5-meter wave pool, and a run of grottoes and waterfalls that reads more like a private nature reserve than a hotel amenity. Evenings run toward JOYÀ, Cirque du Soleil's dinner-theater residency staged nightly on property, while eight restaurants spanning French bistro fare to Yucatecan classics carry the days between pool and beach.

Features &
Amenities
What sets Jungala apart within the sprawling VidantaWorld complex.
Architecture Built to Disappear Into the Canopy
Reclaimed hardwood, woven rattan, and walls of glass define Jungala's one-bedroom suites, each opening onto a private terrace that treats the surrounding jungle as a fourth wall rather than a backdrop. Interiors lean toward earth tones and natural materials — hanging egg chairs, whirlpool tubs, fully equipped kitchenettes — so the line between indoor living room and outdoor canopy blurs by design.
Jungala Aqua Experience
A private waterpark built for guests rather than day-trippers, Jungala Aqua Experience centers on a lazy river billed as the longest in Latin America, threading past grottoes and waterfalls over more than half a mile. A 1.5-meter wave pool, a rain-fortress play structure, and 19 butler-serviced cabanas round out a facility built for adults and children alike.
A Boutique Footprint Inside a Mega-Resort
Jungala's all-suite scale sets it apart from its neighbors within the broader VidantaWorld complex, trading sprawling room counts for a smaller, quieter property while still granting guests full run of the resort's eight restaurants, two spas, and nightly JOYÀ performance by Cirque du Soleil. The result is a stay that feels private without feeling cut off from the larger resort's scale.
