Selva Boutique Resort - Costa Rica
About this stay
Selva trades a beachfront address for a garden setting close enough to Santa Teresa Travels for an easy taxi ride and a short walk to Soda el artesano Santa Teresa for food when no one wants to cook. The outdoor pool sits at the center of the property, framed by the kind of dense planting the name promises rather than a token palm tree by the entrance, and rooms with kitchens suit longer stays or families cooking their own meals on their own schedule. Air conditioning matters here more than at breezier beachfront spots, since the garden setting blocks some of the coastal wind that keeps other properties naturally cool. The boutique scale keeps the pool and common areas from ever feeling crowded, even during Santa Teresa's busier surf season weeks when the town itself fills up fast.
