However, the location of the lodge is convenient, with the town and the La Fortuna Waterfall within walking distance. The spacious rooms with high ceilings provide a comfortable stay, and the hot water showers are a nice touch. The friendly owners make you feel welcome and are willing to help with anything, despite the language barrier. it is a quiet and peaceful place to stay, surrounded by beautiful foliage that gives you the feeling of camping in a rainforest.

One of the downsides of staying at this lodge is the lack of insect/animal barriers on the windows, which made us feel unsafe leaving them open.

The family was incredibly nice and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The breakfast they served in their house was delicious and the nearby restaurant, Arenal Green, was fantastic. Despite a small hiccup with the GPS location, the lodge is conveniently located on the main road to the waterfall. we highly recommend this lodge for a warm and cozy stay.

I had a fantastic stay surrounded by lush plants in the wooden lodges. The hotel's location in a quiet area outside of town was perfect, with taxis available and attractions just a short ride away. I loved being able to walk to a beautiful waterfall nearby. The mini-market and restaurant were convenient, and the breakfast provided by the helpful and friendly staff was excellent. The fast wifi was a bonus.

No issues.

Rainforest camping atmosphere. Spacious and clutter-free rooms. Responsive and sweet owners. Convenient location to downtown and attractions. Comfortable cabins in beautiful gardens. Stunning views of Arenal Volcano. Air conditioning and fridge in room. Delicious homemade breakfast

Can't think of anything.

We loved Selvita Lodge! Adrian and Irene were incredibly welcoming and the breakfast they served each morning was delicious. The bungalows were clean and spacious, with a beautiful garden full of birds. The owners were very helpful and provided great advice on activities in the area. The location was convenient, close to the hot springs and other attractions. Adrian even walked us to our bungalow at night with a flashlight. a peaceful and friendly place to stay.

Felt pampered, nothing to complain about.

the owners went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. their genuine friendliness and willingness to help in any way stood out to us. the location was perfect, nestled between La Fortuna Waterfall and the town, making it convenient to explore. the spacious rooms and lush tropical garden added to the overall charm and tranquility.

Unclear indications on finding the location.

my recent stay in la fortuna was a dream come true, thanks to a charming and accommodating lodge. the owner went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home and the breakfast spread was absolutely delicious. the spacious bathroom with a beautiful shower made our stay even more enjoyable.

Signage needs improvement.

The owners at Selvita Lodge Arenal were incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. Despite the language barrier, they put in a lot of effort to communicate with us and offer helpful advice. The location was perfect, with both La Fortuna Waterfall and downtown within walking distance. The rooms were spacious and clean, and the hot water shower was a plus. we had a wonderful stay at Selvita Lodge Arenal and would definitely recommend it to others.

The cabins were surrounded by lush foliage, giving it a camping-in-the-rainforest feel. The sparseness of the room was appreciated, as clutter can be overwhelming. Having a fridge in the room was convenient. The owners were incredibly sweet and responsive, making us feel right at home. They even treated us to a private concert. The location was great, within walking distance of downtown La Fortuna and the chocolate tour, and a short taxi ride away. If we were to return to La Fortuna, this would be our top choice.

The breakfast, although the hostess made an effort, could use some improvement. It would have been nice to have a netting or barrier on the windows to keep insects and animals out.

This charming lodge is located in a stunning natural setting, surrounded by lush foliage and with a view of the majestic Arenal Volcano. The cabins offer comfortable rooms with high ceilings, air conditioning, and a fridge. The bathrooms are spacious and clean, with warm water showers. The friendly and accommodating owners provide delicious breakfasts and are always ready to assist guests. The lodge is conveniently located within walking distance of downtown, making it easy to explore the area and enjoy activities like the chocolate tour.

The wardrobe in the cabins could use a better hanging system for clothes.

As a nature lover, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Selvita Lodge. The private wooden cabin was a cozy and comfortable retreat, surrounded by beautiful gardens and the sounds of birds. The high ceiling and good air conditioning made for a pleasant stay, and the spacious shower was a pleasant surprise. The owners were incredibly friendly and responsive, even treating me to a private concert. The location was perfect, within walking distance of downtown and the chocolate tour. I had a fantastic time and would definitely return to Selvita Lodge if I visit La Fortuna again.

I would be happy to recommend this hotel.

We had an amazing stay at the hotel. The owners were incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. Despite the language barrier, they made a genuine effort to communicate with us. The location was perfect, being in a quiet area between the beautiful La Fortuna Waterfall and the town center. We were able to walk to both, although the walk to the waterfall was quite uphill. The rooms were spacious and clean, with high ceilings. We also appreciated the hot water showers. The staff was friendly and helpful, offering advice on activities and organizing tours for us.

Nothing to mention.

The bungalows were spacious and very clean. We had a great hot shower and fresh towels every day. The beds were comfortable and there was a fridge in the bungalow, which was convenient. The view of the volcano from the property was awesome.

You couldn't buy any drinks or snacks at the accommodation, only breakfast was available and it wasn't great. The walk into town was further than expected, but you could easily get a taxi for about $3.

We had a fantastic stay at this budget lodge in a serene location. The cabinas were clean and comfortable. The friendly hosts provided great service, offering helpful advice and even showing us a way to the nearby river. The breakfast, though an extra cost, was delicious with a variety of options. The spacious room had a high ceiling and a patio with stunning views of the surrounding nature. The lodge also had a good Wi-Fi connection, making it convenient for us to stay connected.

One downside was the limited availability of drinks and snacks at the accommodation, apart from the breakfast.
