We stayed for three nights and two days in early February and were amazed to be sharing with no more than a few others . The location is awesome and we were so sorry not to be able to stay longer - could have happily stayed for weeks! We took the Interbus from Playa Chiquita and were dropped at Delias... More

This was our favorite part of costa rica. Was a little worried at first about Eco lodge but loved it. Horseback riding ziplining repelling and tree climbing all great. Saw lots of animals in rainforest. Great local food and very good guides.

Jürgen and his team did everything to make our stay as relaxing and interesting as can be. They served delicious Costa Rican meals at the "Rancho", provided for luxurious cabins right in the rain forest and organized rappelling, horseriding and treeclimbing tours. Fabulous! We are very eager to come back.

We travelled here for three nights with our 2 young children here over Christmas in 2012 and had a wonderful time. It is a bit of a drive to get there, but well worth it. The cabanas and the land are so beautiful, with no sounds but the noisy rainforest, and at night no lights other than the stars and... More

My family and I loved our time at Selva Bananito. My son was so inspired by the place and its mission that he is looking into going back there to volunteer! Beautiful rooms overlooking the rainforest. Wonderful activities. Just remember that in a rain forest....it just might rain! In any case, I recommend the experience highly.

Selva Bananito attracted us as it was remote and very eco-friendly. We stayed here for two nights and had a wonderful experience. We were picked up at “Salon Delia” and whisked away to the hidden paradise in a 4x4 flat bed truck through the banana plantations, rivers, and creeks. The lodge is about 11Km from the pick up point. From... More

Nice trip to get to this fabulous place. It is right 'in the middle of nature'. Jurgen, the owner, is very enthusiastic and his ecological involvement is amazing! He likes to share his ideas on preservation of the environment with you as a guest. Also he is very involved with the people around, offering jobs to single mothers to help... More

We stayed three days in May in Selva Bananito Lodge. Its an absolutely peaceful and amazing place that everybody should visit in Costa Rica. Here we could really completely relax, while being in the nature and exploring the rainforest during the tours. We did the hiking tour to the waterfall where we had to rapppel down, tree climbing and horseback... More

So...we just finished a three day, two night vacation at the lodge. Let me start by saying that if you want a real off the beaten path experience then this is the place for you. It has adventure, relaxation, and integration into the culture all built in. It was also great for us because we happened to be the only... More
