Selva Color - Forest & Beach EcoLodge

Room was good. Clean. Neat. Pool very nice. Quiet. Breakfast was superb and lady was so nice. You have to drive all through a small town to get there. But resort is very peaceful and quiet.

Jungle like environment; interesting

This is in a lovely setting, with rainforest all around. We saw lots of interesting birds, plants, etc. on the grounds; the leader of a birding tour that stayed there went birding on the property. Staff are all wonderful. It was clean, breakfast was good. We stayed in a basic "Toucan" room. It felt a bit dated and like some updating and more attention would really help. Towels were old, worn, and pretty rough. I discovered big bottles of water under the sink, which made me assume the tap water was not potable, but there were no signs about that. (We arrived after the office had closed so got no orientation.) Ice cubes in the fridge looked pretty old (lots of frost on them). Dish powder by the sink was a solid blob. I can't comment on the higher-priced accommodations and, once we got over our disappointment about the initial impression, we loved staying there. A little updating/more attention could really improve that first impression (and a little more lighting in the room - a common issue in C.R.). Beds were comfortable, AC worked well. Even if not updated, as long as you are prepared for that, it's a lovely place to stay and see nature from outside your room. I'd happily go back.

Highly recommend!

Loved our brief stay here. It's a beautiful sanctuary of nature. Feels like middle of the jungle, but groomed. Our room was clean and inviting, the staff friendly and Patricia was super helpful in helping with our transportation needs.
