Comfortable and well-appointed cabins off of a dirt road entrance way -- the rooms were large, the bed super comfortable, the location perfect (just a bit outside of the town of La Fortuna). The views from our cabin of the volcano were just spectacular and the sounds of the birds at dusk -- amazing. While not a "luxury" hotel --... more

Stayed at La Selva just one night - but wish it had been more. It's a great little hotel with cabins. Best beds in Costa Rica, in my opinion. Great breakfast and location. Stayed in Cabin #2, which I think might have the best view of the volcano. We were lucky that we got it on a clear day. The... more

The staff and owner are very nice so I hate to write a negative review but. . .DO NOT stay in cabin 5!!!! It is directly next to the reception and where breakfast is served. The walls of the cabin are only one board thick. We were woken each morning not by the sounds of birds chirping but by the... more

We have just had a three night stay at La Selva. The approach, from the road, as with many places in Costa Rica, is a rough track but persevere, the surprise is a good one once the hotel is reached! We thought the term 'resort' could give a wrong impression; it is more of a lodge with wooden 'cabin' accomodation... more

We came to La Selva quite by accident and a lucky accident it was! we decided to leave Montezuma two days earlier and were booked at the Lost Iguana later in the week, but they could not accomodate us earlier. Our travel agent booked us at La Selva and we absolutely loved it! Scott, the owner, is incredibly helpful and... more

It was a pleasant surprise to come across "La Selva" while exploring around the Arenal area. The manager (Scott) was incredibly helpful and hospitable, answering any questions we had and offering lots of suggestions for activities, restaurants and shopping needs. The cabins are tastefully decorated with large bathrooms and a fridge for your snacks or beverages. The beds were the... more

We loved our stay at La Selva. The hotel is a few miles outside of La Fortuna. It is small, quite, and every cabin has an amazing view of the volcano. The staff here was outstanding, from the owner, to Jessie at the reception desk. They couldn't do enough for us from calling taxis to restaurant recommendations. The pool and... more

This was an amazing place to stay (authentic feeling but clean and super comfy), and the Arenal area was one of my most favorite destinations. There were so many things to do, it could be your only destination in Costa Rica and you'd be happy. It was very helpful to stay at La Selva because the staff are so friendly... more

Stayed only one night but wish we had stayed longer. Very nice cabinas and landscaping, pool, hot tub. Staff was exceptionally nice and helpful. Rooms were large with sitting area and huge bathroom, and an outside porch. One improvement could be made for lighting in the bathroom. Saw 2 bdrm cabins that would be great for families. Absolutlely great view... more
