“Great accommodation if you are looking for stunning views”
The views were stunning: taking a nap watching the sunset over the ocean in a hammock is priceless. The staff were super kind and helpful, they showed us how to feed the monkeys with fruits, which was incredible, and they were always available and willing to help making our stay 10 out of 10. The balcony with the hammock, fan and table is perfect for breakfast or dinner with sunset over the ocean views

“Phenomenal - superb view superb wildlife experience and super helpful staff. Big huge thank you to William and Brian.”
For seeing wildlife up close and getting to feed the monkeys - it’s unreal. I saw more wildlife in this hotel and the surrounding area than i did my entire holiday

“Great stay!”
Amazing location if you want to spot the wildlife. We saw so much! Monkeys, sloths, lizards and birds. The balcony is great for a sunset watch. Close to some lovely restaurants. Close to national park and beach.

“Had to be one of the best views in Manuel Antonio.”
We were in Room 9 which had a large, beautiful patio overlooking the sea. The property was in hillside in the jungle. Saw many animals! Especially liked the Monkeys. Property was easy walking distance to several excellent restaurants. Also just a 20 minute walk to the beach.

“Super helpful host, gorgeous ocean views, and great location!”
We had an amazing time while staying Villas de la Selva. Great location, surrounded by everything what's needed - shops, restaurants, close to Manuel Antonio Park, and the Espadilla beach. Absolute winner was the ocean views from the balcony and sunsets! Also, accidentally we forgot at the property one of the earplugs and they organised bringing it back to us to San Jose which was massive help and extra-step which we really appreciated! <3

The place is called “Selva” for an obvious reason — there are free-roaming animals around, and we saw some of them, like iguanas and monkeys (lots of playful monkeys, and even a little one nursing its baby). The view is beautiful, and the room had everything we needed, very clean. The staff were extremely helpful and polite.

“Great place for short stop”
It was good for a short stay. There was nothing at all wrong with the place but you do need a car to get around. It is well equipped, and has a lovely forecourt with table, chairs and a hammock where you can sit and look out on to the sea. Shame you can not walk down to the sea. Also, nothing to do with the accommodation, but be aware that Manuel Antonio National Park is not open everyday.

“Amazing views and could easily have stayed a fortnight here”
It was clean and comfortable and the view was amazing, air conditioning was great inside and even our balcony had a fan which made sitting out there looking for whales and dolphins in the bay pleasurable even at the hottest point of the day. Well equipped little kitchen - highly recommend - to our delight and everyone else staying the manager knocked on the door to let us know a sloth and her baby were making their way across the property - special moment

“Beautiful views, great location”
A basic but comfortable villa with everything you need for a short stay. The best thing about my villa was the views from the balcony and hammocks to relax in overlooking the beautiful gardens and pacific coast. There’s lots of wildlife to watch and the monkeys visit frequently. I was especially treated to a sloth and her baby passing through the property, a wonderful experience. Conveniently located a short drive from the National Park, this was a good value stay

“Lovely, peaceful place”
This might be one of my favourite hotels I’ve ever stayed at. It’s like its own little piece of paradise tucked into the hill. Beautiful view, wildlife at the doorstep and friendly staff. Easy access to the beach and manuel Antonio. Would definitely book again.

“Amazing ocean view stay”
Incredible view from our villa balcony watching the birds, animals, ocean, flora etc - there was a mum and baby sloth living in the tree above our car too! The villa had everything we needed for our action packed time in Manuel Antonio and Will organised our trip to the National Park too which was super convenient.
