Selina Manuel Antonio

The hotel is old and the rooms are worn out and not very clean. There’s loud music playing all day and night so it’s quite hard to rest. Staff is very friendly though!

Had to cancel and possibly lost the reservation money. Bathroom had to be shared if we stayed and that was not an option for us

Light bulb was not working in bathroom, fan did not work consistently in small bedroom

Excelente habitación e instalaciones. Hotel situado a unos 2km de la playa, pero en lo alto de la colina, por lo que es recomendable ir bajan a la playa en coche.

I thought that their activities including yoga and the late night DJ’s were unique, I didn’t enjoy the majority of the front desk staff, they were rude and not welcoming. Also the rooms were very worn out and didn’t appear clean.

This was the best stay in Manuel Antonio. The location of Selina was perfect - very close to a fun zip coaster, walking distance to the beach and next to plenty of restaurants. The territory of Selina is huge and so many animals live there (as it's just next to Manuel Antonio). We saw more animals on the territory of Selina than in the National Park. There is even a sloth living on a tree there! We also saw toucans, iguanas, agoutis and plenty of colourful birds. Also, breakfasts were fabulous, upper terrace was amazing for working and there are also 3 swimming pools. The rooms are simple, but for this price, you can't expect more! Besides, you will only sleep there, as there are so many things to do nearby.

First of all I want to give Joanna and Jose 5 stars for their service. Other than that the hotel room is dirty and they put a nice private room right by the club where party starts at 10pm and ends the next morning. Which means if you want to sleep? Good luck! The shower has no curtain so each time we showered the entire floor became wet. They don’t clean the floor, so dirty all black! Oh the A/C sometimes blow out warm air so we sweat and wokeup in middle of the night. This is the hottest party hotel in Manuel Antonio. Good for party kids. Suggest Selina to separate your dorms from your expensive private rooms location.

Our main disappointment was the lack of proactiveness from the reception: upon arrival we received no information (just someone walking with us to our room which was nicely secluded, large terras but very very basic furniture). We had our own car and parked incorrectly the first day ($100 fine!), then when someone did help us we were parked on a field further down the road (it was locked when we wanted to retrieve the car, unclear initially) so back to the desk for the key, then when we did find parking on the closer parkings, we got another car parked behind us twice.. first time we had to take a cab as we had an early tour scheduled, second time was before our planned return to San Jose... in Both cases the receptionist and her supervisor were not very understanding or helpful. I would not recommend this hotel if you have a car. They should hire a parking attendant as the restaurant has across the street ( or at least explain and ensure the parking rules are known by the guests). Again first time in Costa Rica we did not really feel welcome but juist a nuisance guest! Maybe because we were a family (two sons 5&6) hence the secluded room (which we prefer!)!!

Property was great.... pools, restaurant.. toucans and monkeys and they offer Yoga classes in a beautiful outdoor jungle studio Be careful which room you choose. We had the opportunity to see the regular room and the deluxe.. major difference. Go with deluxe unless your using a shared room/hostel.

Good location. Good vibes. Cool style. Same filthy conditions I’ve experienced at every Selina :(
