The only downside is that it is quite some way from town / the beaches, so you have to get a tuc tuc or walk 20-30mins in the heat which is not ideal with a board. ##### Emma Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Art Feb 7, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities would not recommend at all ##### Art Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Scott Apr 9, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Water shuts off 10pm-6am In the dry season, the hostel shuts down the water from 10pm to 6am every day. If you're out late, you get one toilet flush per evening. If you're up early to surf, you don't get to shower. Guests aren't informed before arriving, so you'll also hear other guests yelling for assistance late at night because their water is off and there's no one at the front desk after hours. ##### Scott Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Isis Apr 21, 2024 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service Property is really cute but staff is not friendly ##### Isis Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Arielle Jan 6, 2025 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Unclean ##### Arielle Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Noelle Stephanie Feb 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The late night partie emwere quite ous ##### Noelle Stephanie Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Anne Apr 11, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities It is delapidated and nothing like the photos. Black slime at the bottom of the pool. Not cleaned. I even asked staff if there was a net I could use. Rude staff giving swim lessons in the pool and intentionally making it difficult to enjoy. My husband got aweful food poisoning there. Walkways are so creaky you feel like you will break through. Oh and impossible to get to the beach from there. Potential, and maybe graat 5 years ago. But definitely avoid this place. ##### Anne Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Feb 9, 2025 #### Extremely basic, no social life I was led to believe this was still the Selina, with a social environment, active people here. It no longer is. Lots of road noise. Run down. It did its job as a bed by the beach. hot water was sparse, in the mornings the water was cold and even when the water heater was topped up it lasted a very short time. The pool is also falling apart, very gritty on the bottom as the asfalt liner breaks down and looks dirty. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Wendy Mar 25, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This hotel has just been bought by a new company. One day it might be great. When we visited in late February 2025 was not good at all. The place looks like it will have a bar and restaurant with a fun atmosphere but in actually the bar was shut down and the restaurant was closed. A few to go items could be ordered from the kitchen to go but this was not a substitution for a restaurant experience. Again, NO bar. Common areas such as the pool deck were in need or repair and cleaning. The tiny staff is overworked and unfriendly. We stayed for a week and didn't have a hot shower even once. Do not stay here until the facility has been updated and positivly reviewed. ##### Wendy ### 10/10 Excellent #### Félix Jul 5, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Cool spot to meet people! The hotel is nice, there is some good and some less good: + Excellent service by John at the bar! You must go see him for cocktails & local recommendations! + Daily cleaning was impeccable. + Room layout on 2 floors is pretty cool + Three balconies to fit your different moods + Amenities are nice + Great to have the hotel side and dorm options as you will meet a lot of different people + On-site food option is very decent + Mascot (pig) going around the property - Multiple power outages - Hotel rooms are not soundproof - Yoga mats are to be changed / deep washed (very smelly) - You will need a car to get to the beach ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6694E5CE3F77EABCF993DA8AFB9BA799EAE46C5A1657060242186.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/EE07FB75B92C0259609B3A8ABF182AF4B9DD672C1657060240221.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8A8FB952E21453BAF2AE012653EE22E8474C05C01657060238763.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/EAD4F6AFE68EE2BD994762948166D2DE7E09C5E21657060220319.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Félix Stayed 6 nights in May 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Brenna Feb 26, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel is extremely run down. It used to be nice, but dont be fooled by the pictures online. We have had to change rooms three times because everything is broken. The first room was just for two nights and we needed a kitchen bc we are here so long, so we moved to the suite with a kitchen and the refrigerator was broken. The second, and only other suite, shower is broken, AC is broken, there is only one bathroom up a winding stair case full of nails sticking out. Then in the third and final room we were in, the bathroom started leaking into the kitchen below it. The kitchens were not equipped with much to actually cook with. The pools were disgusting and then closed while we where there. The furniture was broken in the rooms and in the public spaces. Then our boys both got food poisoning from the restaurant. When I went the next morning to talk to management the restaurant is now closed for maintenance. The staff tried to help but you can tell the ownership company is running this place into the ground. ##### Brenna Stayed 16 nights in Feb 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Brenna Feb 10, 2025 Disliked: Amenities The hotel was booked via expedia for 2.5 weeks on the One Key cash credit via Expedia and is non refundable AND it is awful. We have had to change rooms three times because everything is broken. The first room was just for two nights and we needed a kitchen bc we are here so long, so we moved to the suite with a kitchen and the refrigerator was broken. The second, and only other suite, shower is broken, AC is broken and the place is totally run down-see the attached picture of the pool. It advertised a private bedroom, but it was really a loft. We are working remotely and need a private place to work so we thought this room would do and it is an open air room with broken AC and only one bathroom up a winding stair case full of nails sticking out. Then our boys both got food poisoning from the restaurant and have been puking and diarrhea for 24 hours since eating here. When I went this morning to talk to management the restaurant is now closed for maintenance. The hotel said they cannot cancel it bc it was through expedia. I am not sure what to do and really just want to enjoy our vacation. ##### Brenna Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Joseph Jun 14, 2024 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Seen better days This resort has seen better days! Most of the structures are older and have not been kept in good repair. Wood decking around pool area is coming loose and is hazardous. Pool itself needs repairs. Rooms are more rustic but have modern combo locks on dorrs. our lock malfunctioned, so we were upgraded to the deluxe "house". This was much bigger and better with a full kitchen, and was further from the main road which meant it was quieter. staying in units near the road would be very loud. Staff was friendly & helpful and they have a lot of regular activities which would make this place better suited to a younger crowd. included salsa dancing, reggae or disco dance nights, etc. Food is average for the area. resort is a little isolated compared to both Guiones and Pelada beaches. Good, quiet business center. couldnt find 1 spoon in the large common kitchen. pretty basic. ##### Joseph Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Valeria May 22, 2025 ##### Valeria Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Roy Apr 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Sorpresa 😁 El Internet no fue accesible por 2 días y además no se podía tener alimentos en la cocina de la habitación externos al hotel como su política indicaba pero eso lo sabias hasta llegar al hotel y no estaba al hacer la reserva. ##### Roy Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Andrew Feb 15, 2025 ##### Andrew Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sean Feb 4, 2025 ##### Sean Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Gloriana Jan 20, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Instalaciones son bonitas pero mal mantenimiento ##### Gloriana Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Bryan Dec 27, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Bryan Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrea Dec 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities . ##### Andrea Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Azul Hotel & Retreat](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Azul-Hotels-Azul-Ocean-Club-Hotel.h6776980.Hotel-Information) > > [Buena Vista del Rincon Eco Adventure Park, Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Canas-Dulces-Hotels-Buena-Vista-Del-Rincon-Eco-Adventure-Park.h1858721.Hotel-Information) > > [Azura Beach Resort -
