There is also a honeymoon package available which can be used in conjunction with the resort´s indoor and outdoor banquetting halls that are popular for hosting wedding receptions. The resort also caters for company special events and executive retreats, and has a number of conference rooms on-site.
Whilst it is promoted as being a tranquil holiday destination, owing to its beautiful natural surroundings and gorgeous resort set-up, Rio Selva Santa Cruz can get quite crowded and noisy at times with visiting student and company groups. It is part of a group of resorts and has two sister resorts near La Paz, both with the same party-resort reputation.
Rio Selva is classed as a 5 star hotel however it is important to remember that this is measured according to Bolivian standards and you may experience a different level of service than what you would expect of a 5 star hotel in Europe or the USA.
