My partner and I had an incredible experience at Selva Terra Resort. The entire team provided amazing service throughout our stay. The cuisine was exquisite, and it's clear they put in hard work to achieve excellent results. We particularly enjoyed the addition of pumpkin cake to the menu—it was a delightful surprise per request in the moment! The amenities were pure luxury, with a private beach, swimming pool, and personalized excursions. Samantha and David were exceptionally helpful, and we wish them both all the success in their future endeavors. Highly recommend! BUT I'm secretly hoping they'll add a chocolate fountain next time!"

A+ experience from start to end. We were pampered from the moment we stepped off the plane in Panama City. Get the VIP package, it is truly worth it!
Logistics: what can I say, everything ran perfectly to the second. From going through customs like a diplomat, being whisked to the your urban hotel and tour next day, travel to and from Cala Mia, every step they were waiting on us with smiling faces.

Fishing: Most epic day of fishing I’ve had, not in shear numbers, but the hunt and type of fish. One day, we brought in a sailfish, followed by a Marlin that took 40 min to come to boat side, then a couple of jack fish while inshore fishing. You know the scenery with deep water ( although there was an island to break up the landscape!), but inshore fishing in the Seca Islands is not to be missed, just for the scenery, even if you aren’t catching any fish. Fortunately, we were able to land two beautiful jacks. Captain and Mate know what they are doing and will work TIRELESSLY to get you on a fish. When we caught our first fish, I thought they were more excited than we were. I think you can take some fish back home, our fish were all catch and release.

Accom: Clean, comfortable, air conditioned, large for two, beautiful water facing patio. Not Four Seasons type luxury, but luxurious enough!

Food: simply Amazing. Every meal we had was well presented and absolutely delicious. You order lunch for the next day for your fishing trip, and it is very well throughout and delicious. Not just a sandwich and chips. For dinner you get a three course meal every night, with two choices for each course. We got one of each to try everything, and I am not BSing when I say everything we had was SUPERB. Plus there are snacks after you get off the boat at 5 or so PM. One day they had ceviche, and it was pretty much the best ceviche. Also, we had some type of seafood carpaccio, fancy. Trust me, the food is out of this world! Very heavy seafood lean.

Grounds: beautifully kept and maintained. There are four resident dogs that roam the ground freely which was great because we were missing our dogs. Paddle boards, massage on an island, ping pong, surfing, hiking…I was wishing i had a few more days on the resort (and fishing of course). We went on an hour hike and saw Monkeys smartly resting in the trees in mid day (unlike us who decided to hike during middle of the Panamanian day). Lizards and iguanas on the resort, many tropical birds. Not many mosquitoes.

People: Super friendly, our fishing captain Fred and first mate Michael were top notch. I would fish with them again in a heartbeat! Yaneth and Gladys are some of the friendliest folks around. Our guide who took us hiking (in midday) brought water for us to drink in a cooler!

All in all an amazing experience and would definitely come back.
