This is an eco-lodge, so it's not the Ritz Carlton, however, in the jungle, it basically is the Ritz Carlton! The rooms are clean, the showers are hot, the AC works like a champ, and the food is delicious! The staff is amazing, willing to help with my not so hot Spanish, very welcoming, and loved seeing them daily! Our... More

We first went to the lodges farther down river. However, it was a little too basic for my wife. The beds were too short for me and I'm only 511. So they transferred us without fuss to CT. Food was very good and great variety. Armando was a great guide. Isla de los Monos was a lot of fun. Room... More

This place is luxurious for Iquitos standards, not American standards. Don't expect the Four Seasons and you won't be disappointed. No other place in the Amazon (in this area) has icy cold A/C - an absolute must in 90F with 90% humidity. It also has a pool with a slide so there's your luxury. Consider it camping in comfort.

I stayed 3 night in Ceiba Tops Jungle lodge as part of a South American tour. The staff were friendly and helpful. We had lots of delicious local food for dinner - including fish straight from the river. The rooms were basic yet comfortable - that is what you would expect in the Amazon jungle. They had a pool, spa... More

This is NOT a luxury lodge. Go for the Upper Amazon experience but expect very basic accommodation and very ordinary food. Our room had no cupboards or drawers and a very basic shower only. Stayed as part of Captain's Choice Luxury South American Tour and therefore expected a lot better. T&M

I just spent a week with the explorama group of lodges and I am sure they are the best in Iquitos. The Ceiba tops is the best of the lodges in terms of lodging. The explorama group employees are excellent and helpful. The lodge is well cared for and the food is to be as expected. It is served buffet... More

Having long planned a trip to Machu Picchu, the Amazon had not been in my travel plans initially, but decided to include it shortly before leaving--- and was AMAZED at the experience! A very helpful practice at Ceiba Tops is to assign the same guide to your for your stay -- and ours was incredible. Our guide, Abelardo, was instrumental... More

Comfortable fairly basic facilities, but everything needs to be brought up the river from Iquitos...more than 1 hours boat trip away. Go on the dawn Bird watch, trips to fish for Piranha, spot pink, yes- pink Dolphins, seek out native villages.

This property is a well managed lodge on the banks of Amazon. The Bungalow rooms are pretty basic, so try your luck for a suite-upgrade. Tours are nice and be sure to have a look at the largest Ceiba tree of Amazon. Food is really not the reason to come here, but keep in mind that you are almost in... More

We actually won a 7 day trip and did two nights at the Explorama Lodge, two nights at ExplorNapo and then 2 nights at Cebia Tops. I am so glad we won this trip because it wasnt something that I would do normally. It made me want to explore then just beaches during my vacations. Truly a vacation I will... More
