REviews

I had the pleasure of staying at Selva Terra in July as my uncle celebrated his 40th birthday there. I was really looking forward to this trip as I’d never been to Central America before, and it was long awaited. Everyone in our group were friends and family and we flew in from all over the world. Me and my husband flew in from London (12 hours flight) and decided to stay overnight in Panama City. The resort took care of all the logistics even in the capital. When we got off the plane, we were greeted by a lovely lady who took us through customs and brought us to our driver. We spent the night in the Sofitel and the next morning did some souvenir shopping and checked out the Panama Canal. Then we took the domestic flight to David to head to the island. I 100% recommend asking them for assistance in Panama City, it removes the logistical headache from travelling or feeling lost when you arrive, which is worse when you’ve travelled so far.|When we arrived in David, the journey to the resort took around 1 hour which went by really fast as the boat ride to the island is just stunning. Once we arrived, we had our welcome drink, checked in, and were given a briefing on the tours during our stay. Everything was really organised, you can tell they specialise in group bookings. We did the monkey hike, surfed and kayaked near the mangroves and did an island hopping day too. On our rest day, we had a barbeque on their beach, played volleyball and swam.. you have the whole beach to yourself. This part of the world is truly magical, the resort is private and exclusive, there are plenty of activities, the area is not touristy and you really feel like you are in paradise. I would return in a heartbeat.

Spending a week at Selva Terra was nothing short of paradise. This was the perfect place to fully unplug, the views and scenery were incredible, freshest, most delicious food, but the staff truly made this resort as special as it is. The hospitality was incredible, and I felt very well taken care of and accommodated for throughout my stay - huge thanks to the resort’s owners and Selva Terra Staff for sharing this slice of heaven on Isla Boca Brava!

Wow. What can I say about this place! My first time in Panama but it truly felt like I was visiting family. The staff, food, location and activities are some of the most memorable experiences I’ve ever had. Sam, Junior, Michael, Edwin and Yaneth made my group feel like this was our second home. I love you Selva Terra!!!
