We were in search of a base to explore the parks and outdoor activities in the south western Pacific Coast area of Costa Rica and we found the perfect spot in the Mar y Selva Eco-lodge.

Being a nature lover, staying at Mar y Selva was fantastic. It is located in the forrest, with a nice view of the ocean.

The rooms were modern and clean, and the service was very nice with the... More

Their policy requires ample notice if you want your... More
