The staff are very kind and attentive. It's a wonderful place where everything is clean and well taken care of. A nice place to spend some down time and learn to surf while exploring Panama
Waves were a mix - good fun some days and bit messy on others. There was one instructor for about every 6-7 students. Nuno took great care in looking after the group and is an all around cool guy. The beaches change on a daily basis depending on the tides. After a few beginner lessons I was advised to try the intermediate. I was hesitant at first but am really glad that I did because I didn't feel out of my depth and caught my best waves by far. It was an incredible experience.
Everything about my stay at Selina was perfect. The location and sea-views were just amazing. I stayed in the Private room, which was really nice. The bed was really comfortable and the shower facilities were excellent. The staff were all so friendly and accommodating. Right from the start I was made to feel right at home. The atmosphere in the shared areas was always so relaxed, ideal for staying in holiday mode.
The town itself was beautiful, full of really nice cafes, bars and restaurants. I really enjoyed the sea food everywhere, which was incredibly fresh and delicious.
I would highly recommend visiting and when you do, you MUST stay at Selina!
Very relaxed and enjoyable. They took very good care of us when the current was a bit strong and the waves a bit high. A great experience for the both of us.

Playa Guanico
Level: All Levels
Waves at Guanico tend to be bigger, yet less powerful than those at Playa Venao. Sets are long, giving you plenty of room to work on your balance or experiment with some fancy footwork. The water is virtually empty– it’s not uncommon to have the whole beach to yourself at Guanico. On the rare days when Playa Venao isn’t firing, however, you can expect to see in to the to know surfers head over to Guanico.
The beach is fairly untouched, though there are a few small ranchitos to hide from the sun and an awesome, inexpensive restaurant called “Guanico” where you can fuel up between surf sessions.
The Guanico Beach Break works at all tides. It starts working at about a 1.5 foot swell, and has numerous peaks from which to take off. You can find it to the front of where you’ll pull up to Guanico (you’ll be able to spot it fairly easy.)
Walk down to the far right from where you pull up and you’ll find the Guanico Point Break. This one starts working at around a 4 foot swell, and works best at low tide.
Playa Cambutal
Level: All Levels
The first point break, 411 (or Cuatro to once), which works best at high tide, while the other point break, Cuatro Secreto, is best at low tide. If you time your excursion correctly, you can hit both spots in one day. In fact, this is the best way to surf Cambutal, as each point break is powerful and short to lived, working best an hour before and after their respective tides.
For example, if low tide is in the morning you can drive to Cuatro to Secreto first, surf through low tide, then have lunch, rest, do some sight to seeing, and hit up Cuatro Once in time for high tide.
Or, if high tide is in the morning, go vice to versa: Start at Cuatro to Once, surf through high tide, then eat, rest, and get to Cuantro Secreto for low tide.
