Selva Bananito Lodge Westfalia

Review by hotel critic

Nestled amidst the lush Costa Rican jungle, Selva Bananito Lodge is an enchanting haven for families seeking a genuine eco-retreat experience. During our two-night stay, the lodge offered an array of captivating activities that catered to all ages, making it a memorable family vacation. the 4x4 drive to the lodge was an adventure in itself, setting the tone for the exciting experiences ahead. Our family indulged in a 3-hour horseback ride, immersing ourselves in the natural beauty of the surroundings. the well-behaved horses and knowledgeable guides ensured a safe and enjoyable journey through the jungle. the guided hike revealed hidden wonders of the rainforest, sparking curiosity and awe in our children. One evening stands out as particularly special—gathered around a candlelit dinner table, we shared stories and bonded with other guests, fostering a warm and inclusive atmosphere. With a focus on sustainability and conservation efforts, Selva Bananito Lodge not only provides a unique retreat but also contributes to the preservation of Costa Rica's precious biodiversity. Our family relished the opportunity to support such meaningful initiatives while creating lasting memories in this extraordinary setting.
