"An amazing stay, facilitated by fabulous hosts. The hosts began communicating about our upcoming stay several weeks in advance to arrange transportation to the property. We were met at the airport and taken to the lodge. The jungle house is very nice, well equipped with internet, kitchen, fan, full screen for an open air experience. Each morning and afternoon we were greeted by the sounds of birds. Unless you travel to another island you are limited to preparing your own dinner, or enjoying the reasonably priced and delicious selections each evening at the lodge. The provided breakfasts were wonderful, and reasonably priced upgrades are available. The hosts were always available, and it was quick and easy to communicate via WhatsApp. Arranging dinner, water taxi rides or excursions. Depending upon your room location there can be a number of stairs. Internet works okay, but would not be great if you need consistent high speed. Why would you want to be on the internet working, rather than enjoying the island life. LTE phone service is consistent. The screens and fan keep the room comfortable. Taxi’s to other islands are $5 to $10 per person each way. We enjoyed the quiet and natural feeling of this island, and traveled on excursions daily. We can’t wait to return! "

"Staff were great, Oliver took extra care of us and issues that arose. Great location, pool and beach were great. Using their shuttle to get around was helpful as the staff would point out sloths or red frogs and share information. "

"the room was a delight the staff was kind I will be visiting El Jaguar again "

"I had a wonderful fun 3 days here .Dan and Brian are great hosts , with Dan being an exceptional chef . I highly recommend having there evening meal even though it’s served a little late for me it was worth it .The lodge is very clean and my room was huge with an upstairs bedroom and bathroom ,stairs are steep ! As the lodge is all wood the down stairs was dark with a small balcony so not really used! Yoga mats provided for self practice. I loved the location with a little walk up to the lodge . "

"Sonia and Alfred are exceptional hosts I left feeling I was saying goodbye to my family very special ! The variety, quality of wine and cocktails are another level ! Living I Costa Rica for the past 6 years i was blown away ! The accommodation, service, food, location all 10/10 . I hope to come back and share great times with you both soon muchas gracias 🙏❤️❤️❤️"

"We absolutely loved staying here. The overwater bungalows were so enjoyable to experience. The staff was very attentive and are fluent in English. Being able to swim in the water, enjoy all the wildlife, paddle boarding, and kayaking will give us plenty to do while we stayed there and the water taxis were very easy to get the staff can even help you get one if needed."

"A beautiful, comfortable, and modern place in the heart of the jungle, perfect for truly disconnecting and recharging. We loved the peaceful atmosphere and the excellent food and drinks at Selva. Special thanks to Lea and the entire team for their genuine care and attentive service, which made our stay truly special."

"This lodge is far more than a hotel. It is an experience. They take excellent care of you. The food is amazing and the details in preperation is top quality. My spouse and I enjoyed the realxed atmosphere but also the activities. We went on the wildlife tour, the bat caves and snorkeling (arranged by La Loma). All were fun. Be aware that you are in the jungle with jungle noises at night and no walls. After the first night, we got used to the sounds and actually found them soothing. From the cocao tea and muffins at your door before you wake, to the incredible sunsets from the dining room, it is an excellentexperience. I'm sad we had to leave. "

"What an amazing experience. It’s always the people that stand out above all else. Loved getting to know the staff and guest. There is no equal in Bocas del Toro. Great accommodations in cabin for one. Food was a work of art and delicious. Fun games, activities. Loved the sloth in the trees, red frog on the walking path in the jungle hike. 10 out of 10."
