The staff are all super helpful and make an amazing breakfast! You can organise tours/taxis/scooters through Selvista which makes it a lot easier as well!

Costa RicaOur cabin was high in canopy with an amazing view of the volcano. The environment is beautiful here, we heard a continuous symphony of birds, monkeys, and creatures. Breakfast at the lodge is great. The staff and management were friendly and very helpful. Even though the power was out throughout the island because a tropical storm had passed through the day before we arrived, Selvista accommodated us and tried to make us comfortable. Thank you!
United States of AmericaWe had such a great stay here in the jungle. The hosts were very friendly and helpful with any questions that we had. The breakfast was always delicious. The dogs are super friendly and will even come and visit if you allow them to. We saw monkeys nearby in the trees. There’s always a fresh selection of fruit from the property to enjoy. We felt fully immersed in nature!
