10/10 Exceptional

My wife and I had an amazing time at Selina Jaco. The facility itself was beautiful - stunning beachfront, beautiful pool area, and lovely and quirky rooms to stay in. The staff was wonderful and we enjoyed our meals as well as renting a surfboard from the shop. For an excellent overall experience we were pleasantly surprised with how affordable our stay was. We would highly recommend staying at Selina Jaco!

4/10 Fair

expedia noted this down as a hotel, upon arriving I started noticing its a hostel. Not what we were expecting and what we were told. Not a bad place but definitely not what we were expecting. Another thing that really threw me off was the staff was not as friendly as we were expecting... disappointed because of that. I live in Miami where I am use to paying $17 for a drink... How in the world did I get charged $27 for 1 drink at hotel Selina.. It makes no sense to me. not pleased unfortunately

This hotel was super trendy and cute. The room was a bit smaller than expected but just fine for our short stay. We loved the pool and restaurant!

Perfectly situated right on the beach and close to the main strip for restaurants and shops. Beautiful pool, lots of fun lounge chairs on the property and beach front restaurant, with tasty food. Very pleased with the surf school affiliated with the hotel, as well!
