Bahia Selvatica Lodge

The room was modern and clean. There are no reception staff, so you have to enter the property and your room using a code. Unfortunately I did not get the code prior to my arrival and had to try to call through the doorbell camera but there was no answer. I sent a WhatsApp message and got a response within 5-10 minutes. On the morning of checkout, I went for breakfast and my code stopped working for the exterior door when I returned. I once again had to call and message to get back onto the property. Although the room was clean, there were large clusters or tiny ants that would gather around anything that resembled food. As well, the toilet wouldn’t flush and I realized the shut off valve was closed. When I opened it, the plumbing was leaking and I ended up with flooding in the washroom. The location was convenient to walk to the beach, but not convenient to walk to most of the restaurants and amenities in town.

Small, new, efficient.

This was a wonderful property to stay at! The room was small but extremely clean with a big TV and excellent AC. The pools were beautiful and well-maintained. The outdoor sitting area was also lovely and relaxing, with a nice bar. The staff was very helpful. The property is about an 8 min walk from the beach and next to a grocery store and several restaurants. Highly recommend staying here!

Check in was a little complicated but it was a great stay otherwise, and I’d go again.

Of all the places we stayed at in Costa Rica, this one was the absolute best value for money. We made a last minute reservation here for one night on our way back from Corcovado and I honestly regret not staying for longer. The property is small but stunning. They appear to not only have a pool but also a sauna. Everything looked exactly as the images online. Our room was comfortably sized, the bathroom was modern and most importantly had a bidet (which is someone I have sorely missed in Costa Rica since you can flush toilet paper). Staff was great too. Self-check in was a breeze. I will just say that the rooms on the upperw floor don’t have elevator access and so if you have issues lifting your luggage, then I’d request a room on the ground floor.
