Playa Selva is beautiful. The service is excellent, friendly and calm. The rooms are neat, clean and tastefully furnished. The beds are good. The ownership is outstanding. The beach is well kept and wonderful. The location is removed but accessible. My family loved it! More

As Tulum keeps growing and getting more crowded and commercial, this place has managed to carve out a section of beach and palmy shade where you are an easy walk away from restaurants and bars, yet secluded and quiet as if you were on a more remote stretch of water. Highly recommended. I stayed in one of the newer bungalows,... More

My husband and I stayed at Playa Selva for our honeymoon in July of 2011... I can't believe it's taken me so long to get around to writing this review! I can easily say that it was one of the best trips I've ever taken, and much cheaper than the others at the top of my list (like Ireland and... More

Loved it!! Beautiful clean beach, great owners, not to mention Javier!! Cabana Maya has a great view of the sunrise and the dog, uma, was a sweetheart! We had a great time cooking in the communal kitchen!! There was a small crab that would come in at night but I guess he lived there too!!! It's a great place for... More

There are no waiters or room service, but there is a fantastic communal kitchen ;). You won't find loud music or many lights after dark, but you will find complete candlelit peace and quiet,... More

This was my beach dream vacation come true. Playa Selva is not for one who needs any more amenities than a lovely host, modest accommodations and a beautiful beach and sea. If you require more, this is not place for you. Beautiful, comfortable, perfect. More

Stayed for five days. It was wonderful.great place for couples or families. More

My wife and I stayed 6 nights at Playa Selva in August 2011, after reading all the good reviews on Trip Advisor. There were right on every points, Playa Selva is a wonderful little hotel. We loved it and actually, in its category, it’s closed to perfection. The hotel is very tiny: there are only two houses/bungalows and one bungalow... More

My husband and I recently celebrated our honeymoon in Tulum and were very happy with Playa Selva. Owners Mauricio and Manuela were very friendly and available for suggestions on places to eat. They also arranged a snorkeling visit for us that was a (reasonably priced!) highlight to our visit. We stayed in the two-story cabana, which was just yards from... More
