Maria doesn't really speak english, but she definitely trys hard to make you feel comfortable! Also, the food is really good, you have to try the filete del pescado & banano con leche! We did not meet too many other backpackers in the 4 nights we stayed but nevertheless worth a visit.

Guests can enjoy the on-site honesty bar. Free private parking is available for all vehicle types. Free WiFi throughout the property is available.

Our cabin was high in canopy with an amazing view of the volcano. The environment is beautiful here, we heard a continuous symphony of birds, monkeys, and creatures. Breakfast at the lodge is great. The staff and management were friendly and very helpful. Even though the power was out throughout the island because a tropical storm had passed through the day before we arrived, Selvista accommodated us and tried to make us comfortable. Thank you!
