Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
New management and staff members at this facility do not live up to Selina’s standards that I’ve expected. Kitchen was filthy and inadequate. Central ground is covered with only dirt and completely uninviting. I got sick for 2 days, including swollen lips (like a bad Botox job) after having their seafood pasta. Bottomline, I will never study at Selina Palamino again, as long as the same management continues to operate there.

Nice venue right on the ocean. But not luxurious. Food is good, free breakfast, but rooms are small, without much other than a bed & bedside tables. No AC but ceiling fan was fine. Worst part by far is the open air disco next door, which blasted music through giant speakers several nights, until 3 in the am. Not great for a good nights sleep.

Do not stay here
This is one of the worst accommodations I've ever stayed at. The staff didn't care that the bathroom and the linens dirty. There is no beach as it's been washed away (which is not their fault but don't advertise it has a private beach). The staff were so rude and didn't seem to care about the state of the room. There's no water water for showers and no free clean drinking water for guests.

Observación
La llegada por la carretera # 10 fue algo difícil por lo solitario y falta de rótulos indicando el hotel en el trayecto de la carretera 10. Sería recomendable unos letreros indicando cómo llegar al hotel atreves de carretera 10 no solo al llegar a la propiedad.

Una completa desilusión
Estaba en un dormitorio y me tocó en la litera de arriba, que queda casi a ras del ventilador de techo, con lo cual, no recibe ningún tipo de ventilación. A las 3 de la mañana me desperté a causa del calor insoportable que había y me tocó agarrar la sabana para ir a buscar algún sitio donde recostarme a una temperatura soportable (acabé echada en una de las asoleadoras de la piscina) pues no se veía nadie por ahí que pudiera atudarme con el problema. Las puertas de los dormitorios compartidos tienen pestillo manual (no con llave sino de los de poner candado) por dentro y por fuera y la ventana no abre, así que cualquiera de tus compañeros te puede dejar encerrado o afuera sin percatarse (esto nos ocurrió dos veces en solo una tarde y, según uno de los compañeros, ocurre con frecuencia). No hay playa, supongo que en algún momento hubo, pero se la tragó el mar. Lo único bueno del sitio es el restaurante. La comida y los cocteles son espectaculares.
