I stayed at Selina 2 years ago and I had a great experience and that's why I decided to go back there again. However, my last experience wasn't that great. The property had an issue in the past and they are in a process of remodeling a lot of things and because of that, they are very limited. They arent offerening the nightlife, food service such as lunch and dinner and the falicity doesn't look as pretty anymore. I will recovering looking for anothe place to stay next time I go to Tulum.

Everything about our stay was excellent except for one thing… There’s a super loud beach club on the property that blasts pumping music you can actually feel from 11 AM to 11 PM every day and night . . Total kills the vibe . . You can walk down the entire beach in Tulum and there is no place louder than the speakers at this beach club . . Total trash

Avoid this hotel, shooting occurs, 2 dead
We stayed in Selina Tulum between the 9/02 to 14/02. This trip was a family trip, my wife and I and our two young kids. We especially booked this hotel for the swimming pool. On our first day, Friday 9/02 a shooting occurs on the beach club of the hotel in front of us. 2 peoples were killed around 6.30pm local time. While I understand that this incident is choking for everyone including the staff, I would have expected a bit more help and attention from the staff. The staff almost acted like it was not a big deal, and gave us no instructions, no alert and no help to people. The next day everyone working from the hotel acted like nothing happened. The swimming pool and a large part of the resort was closed for the rest of our stay. When we asked why to the staff, they just answered that it was a police order and did not gave us any information on the shooting. I have asked several times to speak with a manager without any results. When such an incident occurs, I would expect the staff, the manager to inform the client, to communicate and reassure people instead of hiding the true and being absent. This behaviour is totally unacceptable. Because of that we were pretty scared for the rest of our stay especially given that we were travelling with 2 young kids.

This place was amazing. I had my own TP room and it was perfect for me. It was right near the beach and such a treat to open the door and see the ocean in the morning. The restaurant had great food and the pool and beachfront were amazing too! They even had a dj and dancers on the beach to enhance that vacay vibe. I felt very safe staying here also, staff was great and location was perfect, walkable to restaurants, shops. Very easy to navigate!

Rundown junky hotel
Selina is a run down, terrible place to stay in Tulum. I’ve been here many times and wouldn’t recommend staying here to anyone. We had 2 rooms and both were old, the plumbing didn’t work, there was no hot water, there were red ants inside the room, they give you 2 towels that are old, no staff cared to do anything about any of the issues. The beach club was terrible, the food is mediocre, the drinks are all over $18US. Avoid at all cost!

Overpriced. 1/2nights max if you are a party goer.
Good for 1/2 nights if you are a party goer. Impossible to sleep before 2am. After a couple of days partying, the non-stop tecno music can be annoying. Overpriced. We didn't have room cleaning during our stay. Location is good.

I recently visited Tulum, a place I used to adore, but last few times, my experience was bittersweet. On the positive side, the property’s location is undoubtedly its strongest asset. Nestled in a prime spot, it offers the convenience of having everything within walking distance. This aspect of my stay was genuinely enjoyable, as I could easily explore the area on foot. However, there were several downsides that marred my experience. One significant drawback is the high pricing, which I found to be excessive compared to the value offered. Additionally, the minimum spending requirement imposed on hotel guests at the beach was a disappointing. Another issue that impacted my stay negatively was the constant hassle from drug dealers, beach vendors and beach bar staff for the tip. Their persistent presence and approach were bothersome and intrusive, making it challenging to relax and enjoy the beach’s natural beauty. Reflecting on this visit, I can’t help but feel that Tulum has lost some of its charm due to a growing emphasis on profit over guest experience. It serves as a cautionary tale of how commercialization can detract from the allure of a tourist destination. While the location remains a significant draw, the overall experience left much to be desired.
