We spent 5 nights at La Selva for our first jungle holiday. It was fantastic! Besides the beauty of the place and the impeccable accommodations, it was the people that made it. Moe and Lou are terrific hosts. We did everything that Moe recommended in terms of visiting ruins and cenotes and we were never disappointed. A highlight was meeting... more

Several years ago, we... more

Le Selva Mariposa is a lovely "jungle retreat" perfect as a launching point for visiting certain Mayan ruins, such as Coba, to seek out cenotes, and to literally get away from it... more

1. You MUST have a car otherwise it's going to be very inconvenient and expensive to go anywhere. You'll have to wait for the cab to come from town to pick you up. We didn't see any public transportation. The B&B is about 15 minutes from the town of Tulum on a 100 Km/hr highway and about 20-25 minutes from... more
