The place lies in the nature among trees which makes it more breezy in the heat, specially since a lot of nature has been removed in venao unfortunately. The restaurant made great food! The accommodation was clean, but a little small, and we had some ants comming in from the roof if lights where switched on at night. Was nice with a hammock outside and hear the monkeys around.

I stayed at the hotel for almost a month. Since I was there for such a long time, the staff started offering me better rates. The room was exceptionally clean, with housekeeping at least three times a week. The hotel is a bit isolated from Playa, but it's a great location for people who want some distance from the noise

“I felt like in jungle paradise”
I really like the jungle vibe over there. River Selina is much calmer than Beach Selina so you can actually enjoy the atmosphere. The bungalows are super cute and also swimming pool is amazing. There is a café next to the swimming pool with very friendly staff and they serve matcha so I was very happy there. All facilities were nice and clean, always stocked by soap and toilet paper. Front desk agent was super nice and helpful as well. I can highly recommend this place
