10/10 Exceptional

The cabins are comfortable and clean, and the A/C worked great. The cabins are surrounded by lovely tropical forest and gardens. We didn’t have time to use the pool, but it looked clean and inviting. Staff are friendly and accommodating. The location is perfect for catching early morning birding tours at nearby Carara NP. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful place!

We really loved this place! The room was larger than a New York City apartment, the grounds were beautifully kept, the pool was clean and lovely and breakfast was good. We only wish we could’ve stayed longer.
Meg, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful secluded location in the heart of the forest. The pool was really nice and only 25 metres from our lodge. So much wildlife all around, a pair of Macaws up in a tree and many other species of birds and reptiles. The staff that provided breakfast were wonderfully friendly and overall it was a lovely place to stay.

Lovely little spot

What a sweet little spot just outside a small town, but you feel like you're so close to the jungle. We saw a toucan just a few feet from the pool–beautiful! The owner was so friendly and we had a wonderful experience!

Exceptional!

This is a wonderful place to stay! You are surrounded by rain forest at the foot of a coastal mountain range and close to the beach and Carara NP. The birding is exceptional, the staff is welcoming and eager to assist, and the “typical “ breakfast is delicious.
Donald, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was our favorite property we stayed at during our trip and we stayed at multiple hotels around the country. Staff were amazing, and we loved the pool. It felt very cozy and private and like we had a little jungle paradise to ourselves. Our room was very spacious and comfortable. Only con is we wish their was more wall plugs by the beds. Breakfast was fantastic and we would recommend this hotel to anyone going to Carara National Park.
Allison, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I loved Selva Color for a place to stay near Carara National Park and the village of Tarcoles, where you can see the gorgeous Scarlet Macaw Parrots, many other beautiful birds, monkeys, and other wildlife. 10 minute drive. There are Macaws right on the property to squawk their greetings as you check in. The staff was friendly and professional and answered all of my questions in English. The cabin I had was older, but beautifully decorated with the Scarlet Macaw red theme (perfect for me). Everything worked well, such ad frige and coffee maker, and everything was clean. The bed was comfortable and the secured grounds felt very quiet and safe. I went to Tarcoles village beach to watch the Macaws turn in for the evening and to enjoy a fabulous sunset. I recommend Selva Color for a good night sleep before serous birding in Carara National Park.
Marianne, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Interesting property in the jungles. We stayed for one night. The room was nice, but no hot water and smelled like fresh paint. The sheets were not super clean either, but the staff is very helpful and nice. We enjoyed meeting Sandra and others. Decent breakfast.There is a great seafood restaurant next to the property in 1.2km. We loved their chicken soup!
Elena, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Don’t stay there!!

The water got cut off when we needed to take showers after swimming, and then came back after about one hour. It sounded like that happens a lot because they told us to use the emergency water which they store in a couple of 6 liter water underneath the sink. The worse part is the electricity went down at 10:39pm, so we didn’t have power, air conditioning, and the internet until 9:30 am the next day. It was hot and humid in the room. I didn’t feel safe sleeping the whole night because the staff all went home at 9pm and we were the only customers there that night. As for the breakfast, they gave us plain toasted breads, a couple pieces of cut fruits, and coffee because they didn’t have the electricity to cook hot breakfast. The hotel needs some serious major updates. Windows and entrance door have so many crakes that we had to put toilet paper to block the insects, such as mosquitoes, ants, etc. to come into the room. Towels are so old and ripped (see pictures attached). With that kind of condition they shouldn’t be charging what they are charging currently. They should not be in the hotel business if they are not able to provide their customers with basic essential services, such as water, electricity, and safety. I didn’t feel safe being there.

6/10 Good

Le lieu en lui même est très joli au millieu de la nature, piscine sympas . La chambre aurait besoin d'un petit rafraîchissement. Le seul hôtel à nous avoir facturé 30 $ pour notre enfant alors que nous avions une chambre quadruple avec deux grand lit. Le personnel au petit déjeuner avait l'air blazer de notre présence et n'attendais qu'une chose que l'on partent. Une voiture est indispensable car vraiment rien autour
