Great place to stay!

Amazing place to stay. Selina is clean and completely safe as it has security after hours. Jaco walk is easily accessible for lunch/dinner. Selina also has great food options. Right next to the beach and pool is great too.

Farzan

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Positives: Very close to the downtown area, where all the shops and restaurants are. Located on the beach, so it's just a short walk away. Has a bar and a restaurant. Includes a small pool. The room has a fridge, and the AC works great. Negatives: Small parking lot. Very small rooms that are dirty (spider webs and flies inside). Bed sheets and towels have stains. No hot water. Their dryer broke, so we went without fresh towels for two days. Overall: If you want to stay close to the beach and downtown, this is a good option. However, if you're looking for luxury and amenities, this is not the place for you. Lastly, room service is offered but they don't do a great job.

Perfectly situated right on the beach and close to the main strip for restaurants and shops. Beautiful pool, lots of fun lounge chairs on the property and beach front restaurant, with tasty food. Very pleased with the surf school affiliated with the hotel, as well!
