It was a super unique room and I'm glad I booked it. It still had shared restrooms, but the restrooms were well kept and super clean. The cylinder rooms have an A/C unit as well, so it is easy to get the room down to a comfortable temperature for sleeping. The rest of the resort is also amazing. They have a surf school, nice, clean outdoor pool, and a full-service bar and restaurant. I would absolutely recommend this place and especially the cylinder rooms for anyone looking for somewhere unique to stay. ##### John Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lexi 25 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It is beach front with many activities to do throughout the day, with free activities like movie nights, yoga, and more ##### Lexi Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Charles-Etienne 13 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Always clean, they provide soap and shampoo.

It was right on the beach, total surfer vibe. Exactly what you want when you go to Jaco! I would highly recommend this property to anyone regardless of vibe! ##### Callan Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Stephanie 26 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great space. Tucked away from the main stripe but walkable and close to the beach which was incredible. The black sand and sunset was breathtaking. Common bathrooms weren't always clean. We had to wait for bath towels after checking in. We checked in quite late. We were thankful for the gated parking but it took us a couple of tries to find. Like anything, its difficult to find the first time. The pods were comfy and cozy ##### Stephanie Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gint 6 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Look no further... My favorite place in Jaco. Not only is it on the beach, it has its own bar and restaurant, as well as a pool. Staff are friendly and kind, truly first-rate. Interesting mix of guests. Free salsa lessons. On-site surfing school. Secure parking lot if you're driving. Pura vida! ##### Gint Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Terrapin Lina Velloso 7 Aug 2023 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities The hostel was super cute and colorful I loved every part of the property, the staff answered any questions I had and were nice. The private room was very clean, nice, and aside from the community kitchen, we had a coffee machine and mini fridge in our room. The restaurant and bar on the property had great food and the daily cocktail promos were great. Short walking distance from shopping center, restaurants and grocery store. If you like adventure and a chill environment with a mix of young travelers and families I recommend Selina. ##### Terrapin Lina Velloso Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ricardo 15 Dec 2023 Liked: Staff & service The staff was great, always with a great smile and respectful service. I didnt like the property, I guess I was expecting more... The prices at the restaurant are really high! ##### Ricardo Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Farzan 4 Feb 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Positives: Very close to the downtown area, where all the shops and restaurants are. Located on the beach, so it's just a short walk away. Has a bar and a restaurant. Includes a small pool. The room has a fridge, and the AC works great. Negatives: Small parking lot. Very small rooms that are dirty (spider webs and flies inside). Bed sheets and towels have stains. No hot water. Their dryer broke, so we went without fresh towels for two days. Overall: If you want to stay close to the beach and downtown, this is a good option. However, if you're looking for luxury and amenities, this is not the place for you. Lastly, room service is offered but they don't do a great job. ##### Farzan Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jayakrishnan 14 Nov 2023 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great beach hostel. Visited early November and was less busy and hence wasnt very socially active. The food and drinks are great and affordable and they accept cash and card. Great beach right in front of you. The facilities are good. The only thing that I didn’t enjoy is that they dont take care of the rooms well. I rented the expensive cylinders to get the feel of it but in fact didn’t enjoy much. The space is limited, the bed sheet had bird poop on it and signs of bugs. Couldn’t sleep well at night because of itching and unable to control the ac temperature (may be ac was malfunctioning or I wasn’t able to change its mode and temperature). The staff were kind and helpful in their way. ##### Jayakrishnan Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ARLETTE 6 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### HOW CAN SELINAS GET ANY BETTER?? every time i come to jaco beach i stay at selinas and every time i stay it just gets better and better all the time. this time they had the entertainment of the DOUBLE tight rope walker over the pool giving lessons. i was not drunk enough to try it myself, but steven was the greatest. oh, and don't fotget aboout the every night happy hour with cocnut water and cacique. did you know that in world wars 1I and II, that they used coconut water for blood transfusions on the soldiers that lost so much blood and there was a shortage of blood supply? well, add that cacique &................probably would not have cared about the wounds. best drink and food ever. best vibe and they may need to expand the kitchen for the hostel kids. such a fun place to be! surfing school has so many peeps learning how to surf! i wish i could post my photos but once i hit send on this review then i can't get them off my phone. oh yea. they use the most up to date use your device to see the menu in order to order the food. i'm 65 but not so tech savvy. but still love to have fun in this old body, so help me get a little fatter by not making me order without the physical menu. even if you post the menu up with erasable prices with one of the cool boards that you can put the super cool BRIGHT colors that face back to back...one facing the 'audience' on poolside, and the other facing inward. hell post them toward the beach too. remind us what goodies you got on the menu! it is always GRE ##### ARLETTE Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Villa Lapas Jungle Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaco-Hotels-Villa-Lapas-Jungle-Village.h1330482.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Hamilton Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hamilton-Island-Hotels.d1522.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Cambodia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Cambodia-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d29-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [El Remanso Rainforest Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-El-Remanso-Lodge.h11640675.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Belmar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Belmar.h37178213.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Chester-le-Street](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Le-Street-Hotels.d6053591.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Farnham Estate Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cavan-Hotels-Farnham-Estate-Spa-Golf-Resort.h1499097.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Magic Mountain SPA & Conference center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Magic-Mountain-SPA-Conference-Center.h1636277.Hotel-Information) > > [Cloud Forest Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Monteverde-Cloud-Forest-Lodge.h2050850.Hotel-Information) > > [Koora Hotel by Sandglass](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Aguti-Lodge-Reserve.h33594530.Hotel-Information) > > [Poas Volcano Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vara-Blanca-Hotels-Poas-Volcano-Lodge.h5259118.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tamarindo-Hotels-Hotel-Tamarindo-Diria-Beach-Resort.h1108151.Hotel-Information) > > [Makanda by the Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Makanda-By-The-Sea.h2328562.Hotel-Information) > > [Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Samara-Hotels-Azura-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h20586535.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Leighton Buzzard](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leighton-Buzzard-Hotels.d180821.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Casa Luna Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Casa-Luna-Hotel-Spa.h2305532.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Observatory-Lodge-Spa.h11820519.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Tamarindo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tamarindo-Hotels-Wyndham-Tamarindo.h10356916.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Heliconias Nature Inn & Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penas-Blancas-Hotels-Heliconias-Nature-Lodge.h8386216.Hotel-Information) > > [Jardín del Edén Boutique Hotel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tamarindo-Hotels-Jardin-Del-Eden-Boutique-Hotel-Adults-Only.h2818928.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Vigo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vigo-Hotels.d3700.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [flights from london city airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/airports/lcy/flights-from-london-city-airport) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Athens (ATH)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/ath/london-to-athens) > > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Dhaka (DAC)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/dac/manchester-to-dhaka) ### Activities ### Packages
