    Room could be better, there were a lot of flies in the room. The staff was hiding sometimes, you needed to search for them to get help. Small pool, prices are high and the weekend I went there wasn't that much of a night life in the hotel. Also it was such a long trip from Panama City, ugh. Also there were Poisonous Snakes in the sand one day!

    Liked the vibe of the place, small little community with shops and restaurants. We had one of the best pizzas ever at the restaurant next door gatto negro.

    Didn’t enjoy the noise from the all night party - I understand Selina is a party place but does it need to be crazy loud until 6 am ? - also does the speaker need to be pointed to the rooms? Can you consider pointed the. Toward the ocean or keeping the. In the yoga deck | Otherwise lovely place .. totally recommended

    Yes .. it was nice and cozy Vibe of the place is as expected.. surfing and beautiful beach with great bar service

    I stayed in a dorm. Room was fine but the bathroom could have been in better shape and more clean. The lock was broken and sometimes we got like locked into the bathroom. I didn’t like the vibe of other guests so much. Bit arrogant and not as welcoming as in other Selina’s I went to. If you like to party that’s the place to be during weekends.

    Nice resort, right at the beach. Good for surfing! Reception staff was super friendly. Especially Anthony was very supportive and did a really good job solving an issue I had.

    They reaaaally didn’t clean the rooms that much. The bathroom stayed full of sand and water for all days of my stay. Also the bathroom rug was nasty and it didn’t get changed either.

    The area where it is at is perfect, the access to the beach and other places by walking distance from the beach.

    See previous comments, but this time I stayed in a standard room in the new building. The room was spacious, clean, good bed and a simple but good bathroom.

    This particular room was way to low for me to walk around in. It was not more than a bed in an 'old attic'. The new building however has excellent rooms.

    Beautiful location right at the beach, nice bar/restaurant with good food, seats in the sand and yoga deck. Personell at both reception and bar/restaurant are helpful and nice.

    It’s a party hotel- if you like loud music, people partying (and maybe bringing the party to their rooms) this is the place for you.

    The room (private room) was very comfortable. Good location: close to the beach, restaurants, surf places

    Value vs quality. This is a simple hostal. We paid for a suite room hoping differences with other rooms but the bathroom was a mess, the bed absolutely uncomfortable, the WiFi was a disaster.

    The pool are its nice and also the hotel is close to the beach

    Noise, teenagers talk very loud outside from their rooms is very difficult to sleep well, there is no fridge in the room,employees from the bar at night are so rude, employees needs more trainings, power generator is so noise, more options in the menu.

    Location! In front of the beach! Very good vibes!
