Wonderful secluded location in the heart of the forest. The pool was really nice and only 25 metres from our lodge. So much wildlife all around, a pair of Macaws up in a tree and many other species of birds and reptiles. The staff that provided breakfast were wonderfully friendly and overall it was a lovely place to stay.

THIS HOTEL WAS A NICE PLACE TO STAY TO GET AWAY FROM IT ALL. THE TOWN IS SMALL BUT HAS ALL THE STORES AND SERVICES THAT YOU MAY NEED. THE RESTURAUNTS OFFER GOOD FOOD. PATRICICA HELP US OUT WITH TRANSPORATION AND ANY QUESTIONS THAT WE HAD. YOU REALLY GET TO HEAR HOW PURE NATURE SOUNDS LIKE. THE POOL WAS GREAT IN THE MIDDDLE OF THE DAY AND YOUR CLOSE TO MANY EXCURSIONS. I RECCOMEND THIS PLACE TO STAY TO GET OUT OF THE BIG CITY LIFE. WE WILL BE BACK.

This was our favorite property we stayed at during our trip and we stayed at multiple hotels around the country. Staff were amazing, and we loved the pool. It felt very cozy and private and like we had a little jungle paradise to ourselves. Our room was very spacious and comfortable. Only con is we wish their was more wall plugs by the beds. Breakfast was fantastic and we would recommend this hotel to anyone going to Carara National Park.

Interesting property in the jungles. We stayed for one night. The room was nice, but no hot water and smelled like fresh paint. The sheets were not super clean either, but the staff is very helpful and nice. We enjoyed meeting Sandra and others. Decent breakfast.There is a great seafood restaurant next to the property in 1.2km. We loved their chicken soup!

This is a wonderful place to stay! You are surrounded by rain forest at the foot of a coastal mountain range and close to the beach and Carara NP. The birding is exceptional, the staff is welcoming and eager to assist, and the “typical “ breakfast is delicious.

We really loved this place! The room was larger than a New York City apartment, the grounds were beautifully kept, the pool was clean and lovely and breakfast was good. We only wish we could’ve stayed longer.

Fine for stop over
We stopped here one night as part of a longer road trip. The room was comfortable - great AC and shower and the Wifi was great. Beds are double not queen so a little small. The pool area was nice but needed a little cleaning up. We didn’t have breakfast as we left before it was available at 7.30am.

We arrived in the evening to find out theres no television and we were planning on staying 9 nights. They claimed to speak 4 different languages but only speak Spanish. They claimed to be close to Jaco but also a long drive over the mountain. They advertise cooking supplies but theres nothing to cook with not even a microwave. Also dont even have a basic cereal bowl. The cottage has several cracks and holes so impossible to keep mosquitos out so you will need to wear bug spray at night. We stayed only 1 night as we couldn't stay with these conditions plus we had to schedule breakfast with them at a specific time not able to just get breakfast between certain hours.

Property is located on the hill with gated security entrance. Rooms clean and comfortable. The owner is personally involved with providing service to guests. Great breakfast. We have enlightening conversation with Patricia she is fluent in english. Also room was pretty spacy. The property itself is very big. You can have a good walk without leaving it. Beach is about 5 min drive on dirt road, but very picturesque and you can drive along the beach to find best view of sunset.

Fabulous!
We loved our time at Selva Color! The setting is spectacular and you feel as if you're right in the heart of the rainforest. We saw plenty of spectacular birds - humming birds, toucan, macaws without even leaving the site. Patricia was so helpful and friendly, even making breakfast early for us on a few days so we could get an early start on our birding. Her language skills are very impressive - switching effortlessly between English, Spanish and French. The kids loved the pool. The room was perfectly comfortable for our needs. Would definitely recommend it.

Selva Color Ecolodge is located on absolutely beautiful grounds in a resort-like setting. The cabins are simple, efficient and accomodated most of our food prep needs. There is a fridge and barbecue but no stove. Bare bones kitchen utensils. Bring your own corkscrew! But clean, private, and lovely pool. A huge wholesome breakfast was also included. Overall, excellent experience.
