We stayed at the Selva Bananito Lodge for two nights over the 2023/24 New Year period. If nature and the outdoors is your thing, coupled with a destination that is being as ecologically sound and sensitive to its surroundings as possible, then I can’t recommend a stay here highly enough. Various excursions and activities are on offer, we can highly recommend the forest walk and horse riding, Niels was an excellent guide too. I also opted for a half hour Gyro flight with Jurgen on our final morning. We flew out over the forest to the coast and back to the private airstrip with Jurgen pointing out the extent of their forest and many points of interest along the way, he really is passionate about this land and a good ambassador for what can be achieved. It really puts things into perspective when seen from the air as well. We could easily have spent longer at the Selva Bananito Lodge as there’s plenty of activities we didn’t get time to do. Even spend some more time bird watching from our cabin veranda. Finally I’d like to thank Iris for her help, who tirelessly assisted with everything around the lodge and also helped us plan our itinerary in Costa Rica generally. Many thanks to all at Selva Bananito Lodge for a memorable stay. Matt and Angela (UK)

the staff were very kind and helpful the hotel pool was by the sea and had a big pool it was quiet

Loved the fact it was new and not crowded. The staff were excellent and provided services and precise information. Everyone was super friendly and helpful.

The apartments were clean and comfortable, and had everything you could need, including coffee. I would suggest hiring a car or having another mode of transport when staying here as it is a 30 min walk from Playa Bonita (which is worth it!) Would stay here again due to the ease of the self check in and check out and the facilities.

Was okay for a 1 night stay, if you only sleep and leave early
