    The entire property is beautiful. Right on the beach. The pool, bar/restaurant and common areas are wonderful. The rooms/dorms are in cute little houses that are appealing from the outside. Lots of activities. Co-working space is excellent, as well.

    We like the concept of the Selinas and we have already visited some with our 2 small children. 7 days a week different programs and yet nothing too excessive. So everyone has their part to enjoy. Surfing, yoga, party, painting, campfire, etc.

  • We need to get from PTY to Pedasi. Our friend told us of a shuttle for $30. Could you provide with departure days for Feb. 6 or 7? Thanks

    Hello!! You can contact this number and he will provide you the info and actual schedule of the shuttle. However, It's usually around $50. You also have the option of using public transport, will take a little bit more time but a cheaper price.
