Great beach hostel. Visited early November and was less busy and hence wasnt very socially active. The food and drinks are great and affordable and they accept cash and card. Great beach right in front of you. The facilities are good. The only thing that I didn’t enjoy is that they dont take care of the rooms well. I rented the expensive cylinders to get the feel of it but in fact didn’t enjoy much. The space is limited, the bed sheet had bird poop on it and signs of bugs. Couldn’t sleep well at night because of itching and unable to control the ac temperature (may be ac was malfunctioning or I wasn’t able to change its mode and temperature). The staff were kind and helpful in their way.

The hostel was super cute and colorful I loved every part of the property, the staff answered any questions I had and were nice. The private room was very clean, nice, and aside from the community kitchen, we had a coffee machine and mini fridge in our room. The restaurant and bar on the property had great food and the daily cocktail promos were great. Short walking distance from shopping center, restaurants and grocery store. If you like adventure and a chill environment with a mix of young travelers and families I recommend Selina.

The first room I stayed in had obvious prior mold issues. I had a dehumidifier in my room which I left running. On day 3, there were some plumbing issues which the front desk tried to have fixed. The plumbing issues continued to be a problem the following day so we were placed in another room. The 2nd room was great and we didn’t mind having to share a king size bed. There were several trip hazards around the property. The service at the bar was slow. The food was ok. The front desk staff - Luisa and Andres were GREAT!
