GermanyWe 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.

PanamaThe location was convenient and the staff were nice. There’s an outdoor shower for you to rinse right after surf sessions. We switched from our original room because it was dirty and too noisy outside to get good sleep. Our second location on the top corner unit was a lot better. WiFi was good. We had breakfast at the property a few times and it was delicious.

CanadaThe staff at this location are amazing. We missed out first night due to covid curfew and they did everything they could to make up for it - we had to pay for the first night but that was ok as it was our rental cars fault, not theirs. We had a few issues with our room when we got there and had to change rooms a few times but the staff did everything they could to make us comfortable and we really appreciated it. The location is great - right on the beach with a nice plunge pool.
