"Wonderful stay from the beginning. It’s hot there and when we checked in they offered us a nice camu-camu cocktail. My new favorite fruit. This hotel has AC and free breakfast, totally worth it. Will stay again!"
"We stayed at On Vacation Amazon near Leticia from 31 October to 3 November 2025. Unfortunately, our experience fell significantly short of expectations, and I would not recommend this property nor the affiliated SelvaTours operator to other travellers.
🏨 Hotel — On Vacation Amazon
What initially appeared to be a jungle escape quickly became an uncomfortable and frustrating stay.
Key issues encountered:
• Misleading package & food situation
Our booking ($341.87 AUD, double standard room, incl. breakfast and transfers) did not make it clear that you must purchase a full-meal package or pay inflated restaurant prices once onsite. The hotel is isolated — approximately one hour from Leticia’s port — with no alternative dining options. Once you arrive, you are effectively captive.
• Aggressive upselling & membership pitch
Upon arrival, guests are subjected to an hour-long sales session for a USD $5,300 hotel “membership”. It set an uncomfortable tone and felt highly inappropriate for a hospitality environment.
• Poor room infrastructure & comfort
• Air-conditioning only available 8pm–5:30am and only upon request, often with a 20-30 minute wait
• Bats in the room, including one flapping around while we tried to rest and others trapped in the walls
• Rooms constructed of thin timber planks with no sound insulation — early-rising guests and loud TVs/music from 4am made rest impossible
• Room odour likely from humidity and wildlife presence
• Cleanliness passable but certai"
"Outstanding staff and very nice place! The apartments are comfortable and well equipped. The balcony view is green. Very quiet in the morning, though a little far away from dining and parks. I will stay again!"
"I loved Leticia and the tour options to see and explore the jungle, the river and all surroundings. We will be back for sure. Visiting 3 countries in one place is amazing. "
