La Selva is a magical place and perfect for all nature lovers. Hiking on the trails all day was great and having the accommodation so close was also a bonus. The courtyard near the restaurant and the bridge were amazing places for birdwatching if this is your goal in La Selva. We saw so much wildlife on the trails along with a very close (too close!) encounter with a snake. The food blew us away! I think mainly because we weren't expecting much, but every meal we had was top notch, in abundance, healthy and comforting.
Our bedsheets were really dirty when we arrived. Also there was lots of insects in our bed, but I guess you need to expect this in the jungle! The accommodation is about 1km from the restaurant, fine for us but it's not clear. You can drive there too. There was a younger guy, maybe a biologist as I think he was stationed across the bride, but every meal we had, breakfast lunch or dinner, would be on facetime talking to someone and it was so loud! It was really annoying in such a beautiful place.

The staff were very nice, the food was good. Free tea and coffee all day. It's a research centre not a hotel.
I chose to stay here because of reviews saying the bird watching was really good. But we didn't see many birds despite going along 2 trails. My mistake to not understand that this is not a tourist place. It's for students and people who want to go for long walks in the jungle. The accommodation was basic, sleeping in bunkbeds with a canteen for food. Expensive for what it is, we could have stayed in a nice hotel nearby for less. As I said, my mistake, I can't fault the work being done there.
