For the past 5 years, my friends and I travel from upstate and central NY to come to Tulum- twice a year, during peak season. We discovered Mia beach club (part of Selina) one of the first times we visited the area. Quickly became our favorite beach clubs. After a few years of walking up and down the strip, discovering every nook and cranny of the place- there is no vibe that compares to Selina and Mia. This year beginning of January, we stayed at Selina for the first time. Usually we would stay in a villa 10+ minutes from the beach. In reading many reviews, especially after our actual 4 night stay in the hotel, other than just spending the day at the Mia beach club- I think maybe when people come to stay on the beaches of Tulum, they don’t realize it is beach living. There are no buildings on that beach higher than 3 stories, because it is the beach and it remains somewhat protected. With that being said, the hotel was amazing! You’re in the sand on the beach with the most amazing views, the best people, incredible DJ’s, and immaculate vibes! The staff were very friendly- always willing to help. Don’t forget to tip!!! Give everyone a couple of dollars every time they help, or you want help- and they bend over backwards for you. It’s a simple concept. The location is prime, in the middle of everything and where you want to be when it comes to restaurants and night life. There is nothing better than convenience when you’re on vacation! Yes, the music plays, during normal hours of the day! Some nights they would have a night beach party, which was the best!!!! My crew and I come to Tulum for the fun of the culture there. It’s going to be hard to stay anywhere else rather than there going forward. A/C works great, clean sheets and towels, good size room and bathroom. Water pressure is hit and miss, but the water always got hot. Again, you’re on the beaches of Tulum! I can’t wait to go back! We love the staff and we are so grateful for our experiences there every year!!!!

You get what you pay for, but that DOES NOT mean bad! I stayed in an 8 bed mixed dormitory with a Friend, although the floors do get dirty quickly, that is understood as the whole property is sand. For the price, you will not find another on the beach, spacious, friendly accommodations. The staff was very friendly and attentive. over all I recommend especially for those who may need to work a little bit while on vacation. There where many co working spaces available.

My Wife and I spent our honeymoon here at Selina Tulum it was Beautiful affordable place to relax on the beach. The water is fabulously warm and clean. Close to places with music and good food. Rooms: 5 | Service: 5 | Location: 5 Rooms: Rooms and bathrooms ok - clean. The air conditioning works very well Safety: There is 24-hour security in the hotel itself. On the street, safely, within the resort limits. Food & drinks: Very tasty breakfasts with a sea view. Noteworthy details: It's best to travel by rented car to see a little more than what the offices offer. Watch out for speed bumps, which are plentiful and often difficult to see, especially at night. And of course, holes are sometimes very dangerous. Hotel highlights: Quiet, Great value There is a DJ that plays from 3:00pm to 8:00pm so you can hear the bass playing from inside your bedroom but I didn’t care about it too much. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Definitely will be coming back!
