My stay at Selva Boutique Hotel was quite enjoyable overall. The location is fantastic as it's really close to both El Yunque and the beach, providing some stunning views. However, I encountered a few issues with the WiFi during my visit, and there were moments when it felt like the service could have been more attentive. But the friendly staff and relaxing atmosphere definitely made up for those minor hiccups.
