We spent two nights at Selva Verde Lodge during our Costa Rica trip. The lodge offers beautiful, spacious rooms with air conditioning, which were honestly the best accommodations we had during our trip. The property is well-maintained, featuring its own trails, a restaurant, a souvenir shop, and daily guided activities. The staff is incredibly friendly and always willing to help. However, we found the lodge to be too busy to our liking, even during the low season, which detracted from the feeling of being in the wild nature. Photographic opportunities were limited, as the different perches could be set up in a more photo-friendly way. Additionally, the food was disappointing. Although advertised as local cuisine, it felt and tasted overly adapted to Western preferences. It's important to note that our disappointment stems from our travel style, which favors adventure and rough wilderness experiences. We can easily see how this lodge would be perfect for older travelers, families with kids, or those who want to enjoy natural surroundings while benefiting from nearby facilities. Overall, while Selva Verde Lodge didn't meet our expectations as adventure travelers (which the lodge cannot be blamed for as that is our own responsibility), it has many qualities that would appeal to others seeking a comfortable and nature-friendly stay.
