Stayed overnight on our birding tour. My room was the cleanest, most comfortable, best and most tastefully furnished of all our time in CR. Part of a structure comprising four rooms, it was large, spotless, exceedingly comfortable and had a desk and chair, lots of power outlets for my various chargers, computer, etc. I would have been happy to spend several nights here for the quality of the accommodation alone. The whole lodge accommodation is a series of these four room cabins unit connected but covered, by above ground walkways. No sound transmission between any of the rooms or units. Also, good, strong, in-room wifi!! There are lots of birds and birding opportunities on the lodge grounds. There were lots of people watching at the feeders in the morning. Our guide thought that the feeders and birding had gone downhill significantly after a new manager came in several years ago, so our activity there was incidental. Those people that I saw with binns, cameras and cell phones seemed happy enough, however. Meals are all buffet style and plenteous, if perhaps unexceptional. The only negatives from my perspective were having to wear a paper (?) guest ID bracelet (which I dealt with by having it put through my watch band) and not being able to spend a day exploring the place. Oh yes, the gift shop had a lot of stuff but most was run of the mill CR tourist stuff available anywhere in the country. If they had had a good quality cotton T- shirt with a tasteful design specific to Selva Verde, I would have happily paid a premium for it. On another trip to CR, I would stay here happily.
