Hotels near La Selva Biological Station, Sarapiquí

Right in the heart of the rainforest. The tour was great and the food was homemade. We saw lots of monkeys, snakes and leaf cutter ants. My teens and I loved it! It was also close to town by taxi ($16) to do white water rafting. Henry in reception was great 😊 and so was our tour guide, Octavio.

I felt like I had a good sense of this incredible destination from other reviews and was not disappointed. It's stunning and well-worth the rugged journey. The views are breath-taking and the wildlife abundant, from the 3 toucans who greeted us outside the bedroom window on our arrival, to the howler monkeys, cows, and countless other birds and creatures. We stayed two nights with our college-aged children and planned for a rest day on the property in between, but there was too much right there to see and explore for any resting! Our horseback riding tour was a highlight-- calm and confident horses and friendly capable guides-- I highly recommend. The night tour through the jungle was fascinating for most of us, and slightly frightening for one of us. ;-) We were well taken care-of, generous hospitality, and delicious meals. Our entire Costa Rican experience was amazing, and Mirador Prendas was the top of the list.

Beautiful lodge with birds all around, trails, big room and great buffet breakfast. They arranged a bird guide for us which was very good.

I loved the art everywhere, the rooms and facilities were super well equipped. The coffee/tea bar was appreciated. The air-conditioning and bug free rooms were a wonderful change.

The property was very simple but it was everything we needed. The water pressure and temperature was good, the bed was comfortable, the food was good, the WiFi worked, the staff was friendly. The location was incredible. It really was a unique experience. The guided tours were really cool. We saw howler and spider monkeys, five different snakes, all sort of frogs, many birds. The guide was really knowledgeable and Pedro was super helpful. I would absolutely recommend staying here to someone.

Location is nice. The family owns a large lot and have built a few homes along the road. Host was available to answer any question over whatsapp or to arrange tours for us. For a fee (4500 colones), guests can access the trail to catarata poza azul across the road. The night sounds are great, and toucans and tanagers come right to the guest houses. All the beds have mosquito nets installed which is nice. A portion of the windows nets are newer, but most have holes here and there.
