Stayed in a family room. 2 adults and 2 kids (but could have slept 4 kids as there were 4 bunk beds and a queen. The room had a dehumidifier and AC which was welcome with the heat and humidity. Especially the dehumidifier. Lively place. Most days they had free yoga. One night they had a painting activity. Another there was a DJ. The food was very good. But also since there was a common area you could bring in your own food as well. The pool was so refreshing. We booked an ATV tour direct with the hotel and the company that ran the tour was amazing (Outback ATV). Lots of amenities nearby - grocery, restaurants, laundry, shops, kids playground and more. Highly recommend.
I wish I could give 6 stars but I can’t.
Girls work for their reception and support team are super responsive and supportive. They respond super fast to your inquiries, and provide assistance all along on the way I get there from SJO.
The foods offered at the bar are great. Amenities are great. Tour booking is perfect. Atmosphere is.. somehow more like a bar, more people, more active atmosphere.
Stayed in The Suite plus and was very happy with how spacious and relatively tidy it was. You had a lovely view of the Arenal Volcano from the window. The room came with towels and amenities like a hair dryer and soap/shampoo/conditioner as well as a coffee machine and a stocked mini fridge (pay per item use). House keeping came with fresh towels and made the bed every day! They also have an onsite spa where you can book couples massages. Open and spacious restaurant beside the pool along with a pretty camp fire area for those staying in the huts. It had a social vibe and two precious Labrador dogs that belonged to someone who worked there. There were also big signs that stated quiet time after 12am which was good for those trying to rest. There’s an open air shared kitchen, a cinema room and an open air yoga/wellness area. The location is right in La Fortuna super easy to walk about. The reception girls could be a touch more friendly but that could be due to a slight language barrier. This Selina is well worth it compared to the Selina in Tamarindo which I reviewed as 2.5 which left something to be desired.
Location is great, easy to get to all the major tour locations and nearby restaurants. Really appreciated the availability of room service. And the food was delicious! I didn’t get to use all the amenities, but from what I saw from the outside they all looked great. My room was clean and while it wasn’t fully soundproof, I got really good sleep and had a comfortable stay. There is loud music from the common area in the evening but it does turn off at a reasonable time. I honestly had no issues with my stay.
There seems to be an issue with third party travel booking services where a “standard room” is actually not the private room with private bathroom. I was told that I booked the teepee when I chose “standard room”. The reception staff was so kind to upgrade me without additional charge, but definitely something to take note of. It seems to be happening at every Selina location I’ve been to so far.
My partner and I stayed for a short get away and were able to enjoy the town, hot springs, and some activities in surrounding arenal. The vibe here was great for us. We are in our chill, no longer want to party late stage and found a good mix of families, people like us, and probably some who stayed up late into the night but it was never too noisy for us. We enjoyed drinks by the pool one day but we would recommend going to one of the hot springs that allows you to byob to save money. We had a yoga class with Wolfe which was 10/10 with the rain falling around us and their beautiful soul guiding us. We had a rental car with us. The parking lot was tight so we ended up parking on the street in dedicated Selina spots. We never felt unsafe walking around here. Would absolutely come back
