Selva Verde Lodge

Rustic lodges with great facilities and setting. We were lucky to have a river view losge, we could have sat all day bird watching.. The rooms are large with seating area inside and out. Beds are comfy and the rooms have air con and fans. The pool was small but clean. Breakfast was ample and a great view over the bird feeding station. The pasta/pizza was excellent. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. We did a morning and evening tour and our guide Carlos was excellent. We really enjoyed our stay here and could have stayed longer. Advice would be to ask for a room away from the road as it is a main road and very busy and noisy!

道路沿いにあるろっじだったので少々心配となったが、やはりサラビキであり、自然がいっぱいの場所である。標高が低いのでサンホセと比べると蒸し暑いのが残念だが、コスタリカの自然を満喫できるロッジ。

Lovely rooms set on raised platforms in the forest, verandas all around for watching the birds. Guided walks all around the forested property. Dinner was an ample buffet as was breakfast. Lovely stream rushing past our rooms. Idyllic.

We spend 3 nights at Selva Verde and were very pleased with the experience. We were fortunate to have a room overlooking the Sarapiqui River. The rooms are large with a daybed was large enough to be used if needed for an adult to sleep. Large walk-in shower and spacious bathroom. Chairs and hammock right outside the room door. Extensive covered walkways around the lodge allowed exploration without getting wet. Trails on both side of the road to explore on your own. Primary forest located across the river by way of a suspension bridge accessed with one of the naturalists. Carlos (naturalist) lead us on 2 different hikes on the grounds and we appreciated his knowledge and style. On one of the tours, Carlos, moved effortlessly between explaining things to us in English and then to the others in the tour in Spanish. Our package included food which was served buffet style. The food was not fancy but we appreciated getting to eat local foods. It was hot and plentiful and always included at least 2 proteins. The best part of breakfast and lunch was being able to observe all of the fantastic birds at the feeding stations. I would not hesitate to return and have recommended Selva Verde to others. (The 4 stars on the location is because Selva Verde is located immediately adjacent to the highway and it was pineapple harvest so we noticed the semis jake braking frequently during the day.) Our package was the Selva Verde/Sevegre package. EVERYTHING was taken care of for us prior to arrival. So thankful for all of the transfers being arranged. Tours included at both lodges (we did add a couple more at Selva Verde). Selva Verde made it so easy for us by making all of the arrangements. Thank you!

I loved staying in the forest bungalows away from the main complex. Hearing so many birds each morning was incredible as well as the bird feeding table by the restaurant. If you are a keen birder this is a great place to stay, although be aware the forest bungalows involve walking up a steep gravel road and carrying bags up steps.

Very nice lodge that is doing many things to protect the environment and be a sustainable business. Very clean, comfortable rooms with good A/C, good lighting, and privacy. Beds were firm. Breakfast is very good with plenty of fresh fruit, yogurt, plus hot breakfast foods…and, of course, good coffee! Excellent internet. Staff is pleasant and ver helpful. We really enjoyed our time there.
