I brought my brother back here so he could see why I raved about Selva Bananito after my first visit.

Spent 3 nights here in May - this was a real surprise, as my sister arranged it and I just came along not knowing what to expect. No electricity, but who cares?

It was all... more

We enjoyed 2 nights at Selva. It is 15 km up a very bumpy, remote road. Do not consider driving to it unless you have a 4 wheel drive with an suv type clearance. If you have a car arrange for them to pick you up in town. And if you are driving, yes, you have to cross that 50... more

A wonderful experience: a very isolated eco lodge with wonderful casita's which consist of local materials. Especially the superior rooms are very large and have to queen sized beds. No windows, no mosquito nets, no airco, no fan. just shutters to close the windows and doors. Large Shower fits Ieasy 20 people. They use eco friendly materials only: special shampoos... more
