We had a lovely stay in Selvista! The location was perfect, close to so many great activities on Ometepe. The property itself is beautiful, with amazing views and peaceful surroundings. Everything was clean and well taken care of, and the staff was very warm and welcoming. The food was also really good, we felt well taken care of the whole time. Definitely a spot we’d recommend to anyone visiting the island!

Had the loft suite, was very clean and no issues with the amenities. Shared kitchen was basic but worked. After 4 night was tired of the bugs and spiders everywhere but that is just me. Room is exposed to the outdoors so had a large spider in our room one eveening we had to chase out.

We spent a lovely three days at Selvista. The jungle experience is wonderful, the cabins comfortable and the backpacker crowd friendly. We enjoyed the yoga classes and all the wildlife around, mostly birds. Oh, and the dogs are the sweetest. We didn’t see the owners much, but the one time we did, they were kind enough to give us a lift into town. There are a couple of things which would have made the stay better: 1) Adding a cabinet in the bedrooms, so you have somewhere to put your clothes 2) Refilling the water in the rooms, as some of them, like ours, are quite far to lug a huge jug of water. 3) Offering a breakfast option for people who don’t eat eggs. There’s fruit, granola and yoghurt on the menu, but the first two mornings they only had the fruit, so I ended up buying cereal for my breakfast, even though breakfast is supposed to be included. Lastly with only one exception my friends and I found the staff really disinterested. There was one guy smoking in the kitchen late afternoon who barely said hello and continued looking at his phone the whole time I was there, even though there were just two of us. But all things considered, it’s a great place to stay.

Spider's place

We booked a 3 nights trip there that we will remember but not for the good reasons. You have to know that you dont really have front desk there. You are on your own and sometimes you can meet people that work there that can help you out. The lodging where you will stay are not noisy. it is hard to sleep since you can hear every sound from the jungle during the night. Also, we meet with many big spiders in our bedroom, not the ones you want to spend the night with.. Breakfast is minimum (coffee and fruits). Don't expect to be ready for all morning with that. Finally, the owner is not as friendly as you could expect to have with a place of that price. We spent 1 night instead of 3. We still paid for the 3 even if the place was not full.
