Selva Bananito is a secluded rainforest lodge located 40 minutes away from Puerto Limón in the middle of a 850 hectares private property with two thirds of the land dedicated to a primary rain forest reserve. The other third of the lodge's land (about 416 hectares or 1,000 acres) is devoted to low-impact, sustainable agriculture and cattle management. The private reserve which Selva Bananito supports, is only a 10-minute walk from the lodge and it offers a rain forest study program for high school and college students, a Spanish immersion program as well as nature and adventure tours. In order to minimize the impact of tourists on this pristine rain forest environment, the reserve allows only a small number of visitors at one time.
The lodge's cabins stand on stilts, in a traditional Caribbean style which reduces moisture inside the buildings and improves the view and ventilation. The hotel has a rancho with a nice dining area where meals are served, bar and a small library.
Guests at Selva Bananito will enjoy guided rain forest tours, outstanding bird watching or rappeling down a jungle waterfall. They will explore the canopy of gigantic trees, cool off in clean streams before taking a horseback ride through a sea of greens, sip a refreshing local drink while listening to the sounds of the night or visit nearby beaches.

Each cabin stands on stilts, in traditional Caribbean style with twins or double beds and private bathroom.
