Great location and the room we had was very comfortable. The best mattress I had on all my travels. Briant at reception was always very helpful and let us change rooms when we needed to.

“We had a wonderful time at Selina Venao beach”
The location is perfect at the beach of Venao. There is a surfshop where you can rent a board and take lessons. The restaurant is nice and there are more restaurants at the beach and other walkable distances. The waves are perfect for beginners and intermediates.

Everything went super smoothly. We even got an upgrade to a nicer room. Sadly the weather wasn't good. But I think if you go to venao, this Hotel is the perfect place to stay. Especially because it is affordable

I really enjoyed my stay at Selina. The facilities are well-equipped and of a high standard, the staff is wonderful and helped with any issue, and the design is gorgeous. I came for a week and decided to extend my stay because the place is excellent.

“Great but not social”
I haven’t moved from the accommodation-it’s got everything! From a restaurant to a surf school to a private beach and even an art studio. A gorgeous location. After 10.30 they turn off the music and it’s super calm.
