Beautiful property with private access to preserved primary & secondary forests. They arrange for guides for bird/nature walks both in the morning & night. They have a feeder area by their restaurant where it is a treat to watch many birds during breakfast. Room was very comfortable and bigger than expected. Had a hammock outside each room.

It’s in the jungle close to a rafting venue. Comfortable room and bed with a/c and just right amount of comforter/blanket. Friendly and helpful front desk.

The property was conveniently located off a major highway. It was nice to have covered walkways between the rooms and dining area to protect from the rain showers. There was a lot of greenery which provided a safe haven for frogs and other creatures. The hotel offered a lot of tours, although some of them you had to take a taxi to get to which cost extra. They also have tours onsite on their nature preserve. It is an excellent location for birders and nature lovers. The buffet breakfast was excellent. The property is very near to the Sarapiqui River. WiFi coverage was available throughout the property. There was a gift shop onsite. Highly recommend for birdwatchers and nature lovers. We enjoyed the night hike and the morning hike with the expert guide at the lodge. It has an attached authentic Italian restaurant which was unusual for that area of Costa RIca.

We like the room very much and the pool was lovely. The front desk staff was very helpful in arranging great activities. We did not enjoy the sounds and smells from the construction. We also would have like more self-guided walks.

Loved the covered walkways. We were literally walking in the rainforest! Breakfast was delicious with fresh fruit, eggs, bean and rice. Staff was very helpful and friendly. The room was large and clean. Very eco friendly. Ours was by the river and the sound was wonderful. My only complaint is that they claim to have a hot tub. It's there, but no heat and no jets. Should be called a small pool instead.

Selva Verde is a special place where you can experience the beauty of Costa Rica’s tropical rainforest in a natural setting. The staff are wonderful, the food is fresh and local, the guides are knowledgeable, and birds and animals are abundant.

This type of property is for travelers that are not looking for luxury or modern conveniences. It is basic and clean. The staff is wonderful and for the naturalist it is in a perfect setting. We enjoyed our time here.

Great lodge for guests interested in nature, offering close encounters and observations of many birds visiting the bird feeding station just outside the restaurant or walking the different trails with one of the competent guides or self-guided. The rooms are basic but clean. Unfortunately, one of the country's main truck route crosses right through the Selva Verde natural preserve,

Everything was ok except not so nice breakfast. There was egg, coffee and fruits but not so much more that we want for breakfast. Youghurt but only with a lot of sugar in. Croissant but with sugar. Just toast (white bread) and marmelade. Why not fresh bread from a bakery and real cheese, ham, salmon etc? Natural youghurt without sugar?Serials without sugar?

Great eco lodge, we loved our stay. Book the tour guide, the jungle tour is right there and it's a really good one. Nice that the walkways are covered as the lodge is spread out so no problem walking when it's raining. The bar tender (Ken?) is very personable and makes a fabulous gin & tonic.

We were fortunate enough to have decided to make a last minute change to our trip to Costa Rica and got to stay at this amazing place. The incredible conservation area was full of birds, monkeys, frogs, snakes, and many other animals, insects, and vegetation. The staff is so helpful and knowledgeable. Wish we had more time there. We will definitely be back.
