Positive: Front desk was very nice and helpful. Genesis was wonderful to show me the herbarium, and her husband,, Reider (sp?) was a fun and excellent guide. Loved the night walk with him even though it was at times pouring down rain. Tons of different birds right around reception on the early morning guided walk, where they are easier to see in the open spaces. A blue morpho butterfly flew right by my seat at breakfast on my birthday, that made my day!!
Negative: My shuttle driver and another couple that I know of had trouble finding the place as Google Maps sent them to the wrong place. I would have loved to have a coffee maker available in my room as my room was a kilometer from the cafeteria. (I was given the choice at reception of that room, which I had booked, or another that was very near reception and the cafeteria, but I chose the further room.) I did enjoy the walk to and from my room several times a day. I took all the available tours in two days so left after 2 instead of my scheduled 4.
Summary: Glad I stayed at La Selva as part of my two-week visit to Costa Rica.

Positive: The guides for our tours were fantastic: extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife, great at spotting it and patient in making sure that everyone in our group could see it, too. To see the birds and animals in their natural habitats was priceless. The meals (served cafeteria style) were good, especially the breakfast. There was an issue when some of us took an early morning tour and arrived back to find that there was no breakfast, but that was remedied. We all appreciated the endless coffee, which fuels all the science being done at the station.
Negative: We stayed in the visiting natural history rooms, which we knew in advance were fairly spartan. But the mattresses and pillow were uncomfortable and the bathroom was in pretty bad repair. We only stayed one night, but I imagine it would get old after a longer stay. That being said, we would do it again for the opportunity to view the wildlife.
Summary: A unique opportunity to see abundant Costa Rican wildlife in its natural surroundings.

Positive: This was our first stay in Costa Rica and it was wonderful. We are interested in wildlife and it was great to be surrounded by other like-minded enthusiasts. Accommodation was in a lovely spot - food was very good and excellent value. The guides and the guided walks were excellent and we really enjoyed being able to wander the paths at leisure. And a great place for spotting wildlife!
Negative: It exceeded my expectations. It is a functioning research station so it is not going to have the facilities of the luxury hotel. There was nothing that I would criticize.
Summary: Fabulous place to immerse yourself in wildlife.
