The beautiful, open-air style of Selina Puerto Viejo ties in perfectly with the town's reggae vibes. The Costa Rican Caribbean is known for its exotic birds, sandy beaches, rugged jungle and chill party vibes, all of which the hostel embraces. Whether in town for vacation or work, guests love it.

Selina Puerto Viejo offers fully equipped, state-of-the-art coworking space on its property. Guests can stop by for a few minutes to check email or upload photos, or they can choose to stay the entire day for a productive workday. For those who are in town for business meetings, a weekly plan is available, and for the digital nomads who are never sure how long they'll stay, the hotel offers a monthly plan. Monthly plans include a dedicated desk so that workers don't have to set up their workspace each day.

Perhaps the most popular part of the property is its pool area. The stone pool's crystal-clear water is the best outdoor spot there is to relax with a drink and talk to other guests, and two smaller sections offer a hot tub and small waterfall features. A nearby bar serves up snacks and drinks, and guests can lounge on one of many sunbathing chairs dotted throughout the area. The pool area is situated in the center of the property and surrounded by lush tropical trees and flowers.

Guests who want to start their day off on the right foot can enjoy morning yoga on the hotel's yoga deck. It's just as beautiful and serene in the evening for those who prefer sunset yoga over being up early. Professional instructors offer lessons throughout the day as well. Other on-site activities include happy hours and Latin dance classes.

An on-site restaurant serves a daily breakfast buffet with traditional American and Costa Rican favorites, including the rich, dark coffee the country is known for. Lunch and dinner are also available, or guests can use the fully equipped kitchen to prepare their own meals. A variety of cafes and restaurants are just a short distance into town as well.

The limited-hour front desk employs a multilingual staff to help people with anything else they need. The staff assists with booking transportation and tours, purchasing event tickets and much more. The property also houses a garden and library. There are no televisions in the rooms, but they are available in common areas.
