Selina Jaco Reviews

The hotel is clean and tidy. Fantastic location near the center of Jaco. The hotel has a restaurant and all cooking facilities. It is located on the beach. The staff is nice and polite, very informative. There are many restaurants, cafes and bars near the hotel. The bed is large and comfortable the room clean and tidy. I definitely recommend it. Very friendly environment

Loved Selina!! It was right on the beach, total surfer vibe. Exactly what you want when you go to Jaco! I would highly recommend this property to anyone regardless of vibe!

My favorite place in Jaco. Not only is it on the beach, it has its own bar and restaurant, as well as a pool. Staff are friendly and kind, truly first-rate. Interesting mix of guests. Free salsa lessons. On-site surfing school. Secure parking lot if you're driving. Pura vida!

Upon checkin we weren’t offered an upgrade or complimentary drink. We went to our room and realized we had no towels. I went out and asked and they said they would be right down with them. I didn’t want to be pushy but we had just spent 6hrs in the car. We waited about 30 minutes and I asked again and again was told a few minutes. We finally went to the beach with no towels just to cool off. After my 4th ask we finally received them. When I went to wash my hands lastnight after using the bathroom there was no hand soap. Last straw was this morning when showering I realized there was women’s hair all over the shower. Gross. 30 seconds in the shower stops completely. Needless to stay it wasn’t a good experience. I expressed my concerns and the receptionist just said sorry? It wasn’t her fault but this was a bad experience.

Room was not very clean and things weren’t explained as well as I would have hoped

The staff was great, always with a great smile and respectful service. I didnt like the property, I guess I was expecting more... The prices at the restaurant are really high!

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.

It is beach front with many activities to do throughout the day, with free activities like movie nights, yoga, and more

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.

Amazing location on the beach and walkable to many restaurants. I travelled alone and felt safe. The surfing lessons were EXCELLENT. The staff were so knowledgeable and helpful. The food was also great!

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!

People very friendly. It was a last minute stop over between Manuel Antonio to San Jose. My daughter took a surf lesson. Loved it!

It had a great location and the bar and restaurant were awesome, right on the beach with great views of spectacular surfing.

This place is great for proximity to the beach, beach bar, pool, and the staff is great, helpful, and kind. My only complaint is our room was not cleaned everyday as promised. It smelled musky due to there being no windows and no ventilation unless we left the door open (hard to do this with mosquitos and the heat). Bathroom itself was also musky, moldy, and poor ventilation. I would expect a better room being how pricey a night is here.
