We liked every each part of our stay there. We helped with sending us a driver that gonna pick us up from the airport and then there were so welcomed and explain everything and show our studio. I had a few times that I didn’t even want to go out of our room because it was so nice the pool the sun the quiet the view everything is amazing! You feel like you woke up in the jungle. And you woke up to this view when you’re going to sleep with the view is amazing. Highly recommend.

The stay at the villa was wonderful, a very short walk from the sea, private parking, from the balcony you can see a lot of green views and treetops. The personal pool was perfect and the hospitality of the owner was great. The house itself is very beautifully decorated and located in a very quiet area. I enjoyed every moment and look forward to coming back again

My boyfriend and I stayed here for a week in February. The room was gorgeous with an even more magical view of the jungle below. The service from the resort was outstanding. The concierge came to meet us personally and gave us recommendations for the nearby area. The resort is conveniently located walking distance to the beach and several restaurants. They also washed our laundry and cleaned our car free of charge. Highly recommend

This place was absolutely wonderful and I don’t have one negative thing to say. The rooms were clean, large and comfortable. The grounds were lush and gorgeous. The water slide was super fun. The staff especially at the front desk and restaurant were kind, accommodating and very attentive. I travelled with 3 boys ages 12, 10 and 7. I would highly recommend this place in La Fortuna.

Desde el momento en que llegamos a Selva, sentimos una paz total. Ubicado a pocos minutos caminando del pueblo pero rodeado de una jungla exuberante, el resort ofrece el equilibrio perfecto entre conveniencia y desconexión total. Las vistas son impresionantes —especialmente al atardecer— y el sonido de la selva por la noche es algo que nunca vamos a olvidar. Nuestra villa estaba bellamente diseñada, era espaciosa y muy cómoda. Se nota que cada detalle fue pensado con mucho cuidado, desde los materiales naturales hasta la decoración inspirada en lo local. Nos despertábamos cada mañana con los sonidos de los pájaros y los monos —realmente se sentía como un sueño. Pero lo que hizo la experiencia verdaderamente inolvidable fue el equipo. Todos fueron amables, atentos y genuinamente comprometidos en hacer que nuestra estadía fuera especial. Nos ayudaron con traslados, tours y recomendaciones locales, y siempre con una sonrisa. Si estás buscando un lugar para relajarte, reconectar con la naturaleza y disfrutar de la belleza de Costa Rica, Selva es el lugar. Ya estamos deseando volver.
