In general the place is great, however, we rented the flat with two bedrooms and a kitchenette. However the kitchenette was in need of repairs and the dishes and utensils were dirty with dried out food and housekeeping was unreliable.

We had a nice stay. My son loved the pool and the location was great. It was a nice quiet spot right on the beach with a cool hike through the jungle.

Fine
Our stay was fine, however the property was in need of some maintenance. Our kitchen area of the apartment was missing a window so we had many mosquitos in the room. Stayed at other Selina Hotels and this was certainly not one of the better ones

Very friendly and helpful team. Good location, close to Puerto Viejo and Cocles. Our suite was very spacious and quite with a good size fridge. In general very good but a bit expensive for what you get.

It is gampling for 150 dollars.. it doesnt value the cost. Good service but the room is too old, bed is no longer usable it needs to be changed, it is impossible to sleep well here. It is a 20 dollars room from my experience.

I wasn’t planning on even leaving a review because I think this place caters to a certain demographic and for that demographic it is maybe a cool happening place. Here’s what I didn’t like: 1. The RUDEST staff. Everyone in puerto viejo was so kind and welcoming. I feel like they actively had to search for the rudest most unwelcoming people they could find. 2. Forget about trying to find this place in the dark. There’s a tiny tiny sign that says Selina which is not very lit at night. When I called the front desk for help they were wildly unhelpful then the security guard was also unhelpful when trying to figure out where to park when the gates were both locked. 3. I had a private room. It was FULL of mold and pretty gross. The toilet leaked from the bottom all over the bathroom floor and constantly smelled like poop. 4. I was feeling sick and asked the bar to SELL me a cup of ice, I offered to pay and did not ask for it for free. They would not SELL me a cup of ice (honestly should have been free but ok, I get it I’ll pay if that’s a policy). THEY WOULD NOT SELL ME A CUP OF ICE WHEN I FELT SICK AND JUST WANTED ICE WATER. That was really the straw that broke the camels back. They bartender went over to the “boss” likely the manager or owner to ask and he just said no. What an abysmal policy. They said because there’s a “festival” well I’m not part of the festival (literally 10 people in front of a dj booth, and 4 people at the bar) I’m a paying guest at the hostel who also

Cuesta demasiado para lo que es, los baños sucios, no había agua, ella aire acondicionado no servía, la comida terrible y costosísima, y encima cobraron mi estadía por adelantado cuando Debía ser a mi llegada. Estuvo tan malo que me fui antes y y espero que me devuelvan el dinero aunque no veo gestión de parte de Ellos, lo que aumentaría Más aún mi insatisfacción

Mycket trevligt boende som ligger väldigt bra. Rekommenderas väldigt mycket att hyra cyklar för ultimata upplevelsen. Personalen i receptionen och vakterna känns som ens vänner och hjälper dig med vad det än är. Vi har ingenting att klaga på :)

Un lugar agradable, mi habitación amplia y confortable (314), personal atento, y la ubicación frente al mar lo hace especial, pese a que esa porción de la playa no es amplia y la más turística.
