My girlfriends and I absolutely loved taking a girls' trip and staying at this hotel The location was awesome! They also have valet parking -Shoutout to Gabriel-! All around I rate it a 10/10 for the view, location, breakfast, and quality of staff!
Wouldn't recommend. Value for money is completely unacceptable. Front desk staff was not at all helpful most of the time... Found a much much nicer place with clean pool, private room three times the size of the selina room, no noise, private barhroom, very friendly and helpful staff in a hotel nearby for half the price. Must say, at Selina the food and restaurant staff were amazing (even though the prices were completely over the top). The tourguides from mayikalexperiences are amazing.
I was in Tulum for about a week visiting with friends and had previously booked at another nearby hotel, but found myself coming over to Selina and the Mia beach club every day! I eventually decided to switch hotels to join the group and it was the best decision I made. When you first check-in the friendly Selina staff will store your luggage until your room is ready, and equip you with a bracelet which you'll use to enter the room and get discounts at Mia. The staff was extremely friendly and really made the check-in smooth. The Selina rooms are designed to accommodate all kinds of budgets and living situations, from the community rooms to both the micro and private rooms. I opted to stay in the private room so I can't speak to the other rooms, but it was great! The rooms are modern and although the furniture and furnishings are extremely basic, they have everything you need for your stay. The best part about staying at Selina is that it is adjacent to Mia, a really fun beach club and pool that you can hang out at during the day or party by at night. They have good food and drinks and you can relax at the day beds without a fee. Even if you have plans in Tulum the Mia beach party starts at around 7-8 so it's a great place to get your night started and enjoy good music / drinks before venturing out. Selina is located on the Beach, so you really don't need to go far to get anywhere. The hotel rooms on the beach are more pricey but if you can afford it it's worth the price. Everything is nearby and it's really convenient staying on the beach, especially given that taking a Taxi around Tulum is expensive because the drivers negotiate their own rates (anywhere you go no matter how close is $20) and unfortunately there is no Uber. Highly recommend Selina for friends, groups, bachelor / bachelorette groups, or any couples looking too mingle with others and enjoy their vacation.…
Stayed at Hotelito Azul down from Selina’s but decided to spend the day enjoying the beautiful beach front grounds at Selina’s since the hotel i stayed did not clean the piles of seaweed on the ocean. Selina’s service and food on the beach was also exceptional. I would definitely recommend staying at Selina’s or at least hanging out for the day.
I stayed at Selina for a week to "work from home" and enjoy some time. The Ocean view room was very loud. Selina is loud Thursday through Sunday and you'll need to be in the buildings away from the DJ stage. The location is excellent, right on the beach. Breakfast at Mia was great every day. Service by Levi, Ricky, and Chego was outstanding. very great people. Front desk was accommodating and friendly from Roberto (Posada Margarita), Camila, Alejandro, and Alfredo. The entrance ladies were great too, Priscilla, Blanca, and Mica! I really enjoyed my time in Selina Tulum and will be back! Winston
Pros: Included access to a great beach. Decent complimentary breakfast. Friendly staff. Plenty of nearby restaurants. They will store your luggage after check out, Cons: Small room with shared bathroom was like a small humid college dorm room with a view to the wall. The above costs 200 dollars- there is no way I would pay 400 dollars for a private bathroom to stay here. Thin walls. Had to go to front desk to exchange towels. I ended up staying at two other nicer hotels the last two days but kept the room to store luggage and to use the beach. You might consider literally getting a hostel bed just for cheap access to their beach which was honestly better than other hotel beaches and breakfast and actually stay someplace else. This would be more cost effective than paying the minimum spend requirements at most beach clubs.…
Amazing location but very poor service. The hotel is great, Extremely well located facing the see. However, when going for dinner at the restaurant, we ordered beers at 100 pesos each. When the bill was brought it was written 160 Pesos each. We were told there was an event that night and that the prices changed. Then we went to the bar for a welcome drink we had been offered upon check in. But the bartender told us the welcome drink only works from 4 to 4.30pm. It was not written on the voucher and we arrived at 5pm. These kind of thinks make you feel they only want you money at the property and don't care about the experience. I could not have the chance to meet a manager, nobody cared.
if your over 40 and have no desire to her EDM do not say here!!!! Along with the music till 2 or 3 in the morning you may loose power. .Along with losing power the water pressure if any at all. Cleaning service good luck. Came down for a wedding that was epic. Wanted to stay close. Wish I would have known a place other than this. Cool town made good memories and the hotel can ........
I spent a couple of nights at the Selina Tulum because of a business function, and it was a dreadful experience. I was staying in one of their 'best rooms', a Private Room+, priced at $400+ per night. For that price you get what in any other hotel would be called an okay, pretty basic accommodation, with uncomfortable chairs and sofa, and no tv screen. And lots of noise because of music and partying outside. My phone picked up a noise level of 80db at 11:30pm. That equals the noise level of heavy traffic of a power lawn mower. In your room. At almost midnight. The rest of the services are, again, low quality and high price. For instance, they would do your laundry in 24 hours, at the price of a 5 stars hotel, but they do not iron the clothes. As they advertise themselves as a destination for digital nomads, you would think that, at least, the internet connection was flawless. But no. It was sketchy at best, making it very challenging to get anything done, specifically video calls. Still, I have to say that the location is cool and the concept is interesting: it was nice to see so many people working at the Cafè or around the pool during the day. But the delivery is horrible.…
They advertize with free drinks but only give u 16.30 in the daytime. They overbook all the time which means you never Get the room You pay for. Always worse..... Worst place ever. Very agressive staff who attacks people when they disagree with their stupid policies. Never going back.....
