I asked the front desk for a beach towel to use by the beach at the back of the property. The price for the towel was $100 pesos, which they returned when you returned the towel. After finding a chair in a shady spot that overlooked the beach, a woman approached me and informed me that the beach chairs had to be rented from Marea, the “beach club,” which is the onsite restaurant. I thought it was strange that I had to pay for a chair, that was about 200 feet from the water… on a beach where swimming is prohibited due to the rocks and waves, at the very hotel that I was staying at. I agreed to get up from the spot, and decided to move to the pool area. Again, I found I nice spot to sit that was shaded by one of the numerous palm trees that were scattered across the property. After about 20 minutes, the same woman approached me and, again, informed me that the pool chairs needed to be rented from Marea. So, even though the property has a pool and is on the beach… you have to pay the Restaurant/Bar/Beach Club to use any of the chairs at the pool or beach. Eventhough I specifically informed the employees at the front desk that I was going to be sitting by the beach, no one ever mentioned that the beach or pool chairs needed to be rented/reserved.

The staff were helpful. The location was close to the beaches, shops, and restaurants. The property had different daily activities and everyone was friendly. Breakfast at Marea, the onsite restaurant/bar/beach club, was always delicious.

Not very social, it was almost empty when I was there. They also had some families with children there. The hostel would host some events but barely anyone would show up, kinda dead. But I think the entire island is like that. If you are looking to chill is the perfect place

Very nice facility

Stayed in May 2024

There are not many sunbeds around the swimming pool, and the rest in for w fee.

Staff, atmosphere and room was really good. I was celebrating my birthday during the stay and they prepared a surprise for me what was nice.

There were drinkable water cuts every day and wouldn’t refill it more often… There were no window in the bedroom so everything was dark and we couldn’t aerate so it stank, especially in the bathroom. Also, the lockers couldn’t fit our bags and were in the beds so it was annoying to access and we kept bumping into it while sleeping.

It’s perfectly located and the common spaces are the best we’ve ever seen. They even have a cinema room! You have access to the beach and there’s an amazing pool.

Would be nice to have some indicator of in use/occupied or vacant on the door of the shared “private” restrooms upstairs.

Location is tucked away in a quiet corner but still close to beach and main part of town. The private room was nice to have some space.

staff at the front desk not very welcomming, we stand at the reception and it takes time before someone welcomes you even people were serve before me, even if i was standing at the reception for 5 minutes there were talking to eachother and ignore clients at the front desk be nice to have a good morning or a good night when you pass by the front desk

location was great, beach close to hostel but breakfast was very little portion and not to much choice when you are there for a week

We had a bit of confusion at breakfast which led to us not getting to eat and we feel as though it was resolved pretty poorly by all staff, and this really left us disappointed and with a bitter taste of the place upon check-out

The experience of this Selina is beautiful, the beach view upon arrival, the cool reception, and through to the paradise which is the pool, bar, and huge chill out zone. The teepee was so cool and unique, and very comfortable with great use of space and cool ideas.

The room was very dark even during the day and the storage per bed was pretty limited (one narrow drawer and one locker above the mattress for which you need to bring your own lock). There was a leak from the bathroom ceiling right above the toilet which seemed to recur and need fixing every day while I was there - this is probably a fire hazard given the wiring in the ceiling. The price is also very steep, it was the most I paid per night for accommodation for all my time in Mexico and was the only time I stayed in a dorm as otherwise I was sharing hotel rooms and airbnb's with friends. The facilities were very nice but I've stayed in equally nice hostels for much less.

Very nice facilities and great location: in town but not along the main street (which would be very loud), straight line walk to north beach in a few minutes and a less than 10min walk to the ferry. The hostel grounds and shared facilities are very nice and everything is recently done up and well looked after. The dorm beds are very comfy even if a little bit claustrophobic.

Breakfast expensive one day and the other one completely different with a formula…. Hard to understand this point.

Beautiful place very well located

Had a few issues with the water during my stay. Never quite had a hot shower.

Beautiful property! Everything so convenient, right in the heart of North Isla Mujeres. Loved the whole vibe of the place.

The staff weren’t very helpful

Gorgeous hotel and very clean

Stayed in March 2024

Not always having free clean drinking water. The beds were very small with your locked box inside your bed, so you would hit it every time you get into your bed and in the middle of the night. And the room had this gross smell the whole time.

The location, the friendliness of the community the hostel brought, and the hammocks all over.

This was the best location that we have stayed during our trip in Mexic, in the Yucatan area.

Price per night for bunk in dorm. Size of dorm for # of beds. Too small, too cramped. Inconsistent food prep/appearance by restaurant/vendors on site. Prices to high for hostel / simple hotel venues in comparison to nearest by restaurants. Unsafe entry and exit to/from swimming pool, lacking hand rail. Fence separating from the beach. Lack of more and wider hammocks.

Realistic description. Clean and apparently well maintained. Security. Wi-Fi well working. Large clean kitchen with sufficient implements. Library! Music was kept at a pleasant volume. Tour desk Diving shop Location. Friendly, helpful staff. Beds comfortable and good bedding. Separation curtains on each bunk and individual lights and charging plugs. Well behaved DogOwners! allowed! Cross section of international guests.

the pool could be more clean, the facility has more likely a hotel character (breakfast prices and drinks at the bar)

location, stuff, vibe

Stayed in March 2024

There was minimal to no hot water. They had a chain link fence blocking off the beach. It was noisy some nights.

I liked the location, staff, breakfast, bar, guests.

Stayed in March 2024

There is a private beach bar next to the pool that owns 2 hang out areas... so it looks like there's lots of room to chill but I got kicked out of the tables and the hammocks twice. The rate is already very expensive ($50CAD for a large dorm) so you'd expect to be able to hang out anywhere without buying drinks. Also, the one toilet for my dorm was out of toilet paper for a long time. And they had minimal available drinking water, which is pretty standard for hostels of this price/style these days.

Great location. Hostel backs onto the beach so you have great views. The morning activities were great- I did yoga and Tai chi. Blackout bunk curtains and comfy beds.
