Selva Verde Lodge

Tolle Lodge

Eco conscious hotel. Overall hotel was very nice. Breakfast was limited for vegetarians. Excellent view of the river. Highlight was having breakfast with nature in direct view, such as toucans, deers, iguanas etc having breakfast same time.

Good service

OMG we loved this place. Best part of out 10 day trip that included Arenal and Manuel Antonio. Great early birding tour, and saw tanagers and kingbirds from our balcony. The cabins and walkways are of beautiful wood, nestled in trees and flowers.

Hotel très sympathique, dans un très beau parc avec un pont suspendu .
Notre chambre était tout en bas du parc, près de la rivière, ce qui était particulièrement agréable . Grande chambre avec un grand balcon et un hamac.
Possibilité de se balader dans des petits chemins dans ce domaine.
Petit déjeuner correct, avec vue sur les oiseaux, beaucoup de fruits et des pancakes .

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.

Large property - suffered from recent flooding when I was there. Saw a lot of interesting birds and other wild life on the property. The rooms were large - but the space was not well utilized. I had the impression that there was a lot of deferred maintenance that was overdue. Nonetheless, it was comfortable. The food was OK.

Beautiful eco resort by the river. We went to sleep listening to the river and saw a great many bird watchers and photographers on the site. Two very different restaurants and a nice pool. The howler monkeys put on a great show by the pool.

Un seul restaurant d'ouvert pour la soirée

Amazing place to stay for seeing birds and wildlife. I’d highly recommend the guided nature walk or guided bird watching. The rooms and grounds are beautifully kept, as well.

Magnífico lodge. El enclave es maravilloso, la habitación muy grande, bien equipada y limpísima. Los jardines/bosque del hotel, con río al lado, preciosos. Personal muy amable y atento. El restaurante italiano del hotel, de buena calidad y precios razonables. Muy recomendable.

Beautiful property and great team ! The lodge is beautifully maintained and the grounds are built for exploration and relaxation. The rooms are large and comfortable

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.

Perfect place to enjoy birding in this area
Wish there was granola or other cereal available at breakfast
Will definitely stay again

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.

This is a cannot miss for eco travelers and for families. Excellent comfort, food, wildlife! I have stayed here 8 times, this is the first time for my family and it was their favorite location of three in Costa Rica. Excellent!!

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.

This lodge is a dream. I enjoyed the rooms, the staff, the location, the wildlife. I wish I never had to leave.

It was a beautiful property with very nice staff but it wasn't as expected. It is on a main busy road. We thought we were going to be in the middle of the rainforest. The rooms were very nice and the food was good. Loved watching the birds from the balcony but was hoping for a quieter setting l.

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.
