Selina Nosara is a very hip, hostel/hotel. A younger crowd than us, but we didn't mind. We rented a whole 2 floor private cabin with 4 beds for a total of about $140/night including taxes. Cool decor in the room. Lots of comfortable architecturally interesting common areas to hang out and 3 (count em) swimming pools. We had a couple of very good meals in the restaurant. They also have a shared kitchen for travelers on a budget. Nice walking trails leading off the property through the woods.

Amazing infraestructure. Bungalow like construction and bamboo are an awesome combination. Very beautiful place indeed.

Facilities were superb, it really is like a resort and even the dorms were gorgeous with big beautiful bathrooms. I stayed here in the low season so while there were travellers here it wasn’t completely overcrowded Bonus - the kitchen is lovely and there is a theatre room and a mini library. I also got a free salsa lesson on my first night :)

- 15-min walk down/uphill to the beach so it is not ideal if you carry a surfboard - the room walls are so thin you can almost hear the conversation next door
- amazing architecture - nice pools and outside area - Deluxe room design - helpful and lovely staff - good quality food and drinks

Our room was right next to the road - a relaxing sleep was definitely not possible. The "vibe" was not as expected, the common areas were really quite, nearly no people around. Not sure if we would stay here again.
Nice hotel, very nice design and style. Restaurant was nice, but on the bit more expensive side. Pool was clean, but very warm.

The rooms are right on top of the main road so it’s incredibly noisy from first light - which also comes in through the shades. Bring an eye mask and ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper. Also the evening music can get quite loud and is on fairly late if you’re going to bed early to get up for a morning surf.
It’s a great community atmosphere, with the pool and the lounging area as the main hub which has a fun vibe and activities every night. The rooms are comfortable, clean and spacious.

“Noisy & disorganized”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 4 nights
Worst of the 4 places we booked in CR. Our room backed on to a noisy and dusty highway (about 4 meters from our window) so the sound of loud trucks and ATVs kept us up. And from Thursday - Sunday nights, when the highway noise wasn't keeping us up, the ridiculously loud sound of the "night club" sure did. I guess Selina Nosara is trying to cater to the 18-25 year old crowd who is there to party. You get what you pay for.
The inside of the room was really nice, and the staff were super friendly. The grounds are nice although it could use some cleaning.

To walk to the beach it's 20 min- ( I am a fast walker) through a nice jungle but still in the heat.... The pool is disgusting- I didn't swim ever in it The manager is limit unkind To go into town you need a car or a scooter or a tuktuk The common kitchen is hidious Oh and our bedroom was next to the main Street.....during day you can't stay in the room without ear plugs
The hotel was once a 5 star so you can see the space and idea is tasteful but they run it down

“Good place if you”
- • Leisure trip

The location is far from the beach or city center, and you have to walk on dirt roads where you cannot breath due to the dust in the air. Highly recommend bringing breathing mask if you don;t have a closed car. The room booked was right on the level of the 160 main road, busy all day and night with trucks, motorbikes and cars. The noise generated made it impossible to sleep due to thin windows and bad isolation. The dust from the road was constantly moved from the car making the patio and vegetation full of grey dust. We tried to change room, and understood that the hotel being full it might not have been possible. The staff was not really friendly at all during the whole process, making it drag forever, by saying that they found a way of an upgrade and then letting us know that was not possible. The manager finally got involved the next day, but still handled with little empathy. We finally decided to cancel the rest of the stay and go elsewhere. At least they were good in reimbursing the full amount for the rest of the stay which was greatly appreciated. We understand that booked hotel make it hard to change room and would have been fine with that if the staff was more friendly in addressing the issue.
The property itself has a nice atmosphere, built with mostly wood and around a main pool. The kitchen and bar staff were friendly. Good taste in the design and landscaping.

“Not what it used to be..”

The kitchen is run down..very messy..the maids are cleaning so i wont say it is their fault but there are a lot of things missing such as bowls cup salt sugar.I think it has a lot to do with the clientele very spoiled and careless.I have seen people leaving the oven on..coffee machine on.. so it is even getting dangerous at that point..nobody cleans or pick up after themselves..not a nice mindset from the selina travellers. I was also disapointed by the strong pee smell in the toilets of the dormitory and the fact that the shower dispenser were always empty.
The receptionist with the glasses provided good customer service. The wifi is good. Good a/c. Great location.

It’s unacceptable that every Saturday night the lobby becomes a disco club with very loud music until 12:30. If by any chance you want to go to bed it’s impossible to sleep and the reception closes at 10pm, so there is no one to talk to except guys at the bar having party. I have never seen anything like this in any hotel. The manager was not even available the day after and at the reception they could not give me any explanation other than “we organise party every Saturday”. To me I wasted my money.
Nice swimming pool
