The Jungle Lodge Hotel and Cabins no longer has a lights out time. The restaurant is great and we played cards in the lounge until 11 PM.

They have various guides available to take you on tours. Since it is such an enormous place, not everyone wants to see it all. For example, my roommate decided to get up before dawn and take a guided walk to see the sun rise over the Tikal monuments and to see and hear the howling monkeys at dawn. I passed on that and slept in.
