Qema Máncora makes a strong first impression with its accommodations. The property offers a variety of room styles to suit different travelers; I can speak specifically to the suite, which was outstanding—generous in size, filled with natural light, and designed with a clear emphasis on comfort and ease. The bathroom, often an overlooked detail in beachside properties, was equally impressive: spacious, well-appointed, and more than comfortable for two. Beyond the room, the property itself truly excels. Every meal was exceptional, with food that consistently impressed and cocktails that were as thoughtful as they were well-executed. Happy hour never felt like an afterthought, but rather a daily highlight. Service throughout the property was excellent, with special recognition owed to John, whose attentiveness, warmth, and deep local knowledge elevated the entire stay. His recommendations around the town of Máncora—from dining spots to nightlife—were spot-on and added a meaningful layer of authenticity to the experience. Brian also deserves mention for his consistently great service at both meals and poolside. The pool area embodies the relaxed sophistication Qema aims for: ample shaded loungers, a laid-back atmosphere, and perfectly curated chill-vibe music that sets the tone for effortless afternoons by the water. One important consideration for travelers is that nightlife is very much part of the Qema experience. Music carries clearly into the evening, often well past 10:

Gorgeous hotel with a fabulous view. My only complaint is they play music loudly during the week up until midnight so if you're looking for a quiet getaway this place is not it.

Beautiful place staff was very attentive and helpful sadly the wifi barely works in the tipis

Yes

Best hotel in Máncora for solo travelers! Lots of fun and community activities

This Selina has a great range of options for stay, I stayed both at the cylinders and at the suite. The cylinder is a great budget option, and the concept is really cool - only downside is space if it’s for two people, for one it’s perfect. The suite has an amazing view, space for two and the accommodations you need. The property itself is very well located, 10 min walk to the town or surf shops and many of activities on site. A lot of different areas to relax ans great food options onsite. The bonus for me was the cowork, wow! Decide to stay a few extra days and used the cooker for a quiet space, great WiFi and amazing views! Highly recommend 😀

It was good

Rrrrrrrr

Extremely & Friendly staff Fun environment with tons of activities

The property is infested with crikets and the staff isn't helpful with the situation.

If you are looking for a place to have a quiet evening after a loving day at the beach, this is not the place. Extremely noisy. Partying until 3am with loud speakers next to the rooms. Impossible to sleep. By the way, management never mentioned this at check in.

El hotel bastante cómodo, la habitación perfecta y tiene opciones para todos los gustos, cabañas para parejas o familias y habitaciones cómodas, límpias facil acceso. No tengo ningún reclamo la verdad es que regresaría feliz al hotel.

Everything was great, the staff was friendly, the ambiance is amazing and relaxing, we had an issue checking in- it took almost an hour to do so but the ladies at the desk were very professional and patient and did their best to help us get our rooms situated.

This is more toward management. First, the check in was terrible. We had a four delay on our flight and all we wanted to do is check in quickly, go to our room and change clothes to salvage the lost day. We had to provide extensive information, download an app (per family member) and provide more information. It was close to an hour check in! We were provide one key card for a family of four and you had fight the door scanner to our room to open. The biggest issue was that this hotel was more of nightclub/concert at night than a hotel. Every night the music was blasting to provide to the outdoor party and guest (mainly non hotel guests). We could not sleep til 2am because that's when the party ended. Call me old, but try to sleep when there is poor sound insulation in your room, music blaring and young people screaming is brutal!

The wait time for the room (checking in) 2 1/2 hours . The AC of the room did not cold the room . The staff was friendly, nice .- Oh breakfast w/ o coffee because not electricity for the coffee maker

I enjoyed en extremely fun and relaxing week at Selina! Everyone is so nice, I’m sad to say goodbye to them all. They make you feel like you are just hanging out with friends during your stay here. Shoutout to Vicki and Jesus! You guys rock! Easy access to the town via Tuk Tuk but it’s so beautiful you probably won’t want to leave!

I really liked that the staff was cheerful and so helpful

Se fue la luz por 4 horas

Great location with a nice atmosphere, but service at reception was very disappointing. Before arrival I tried arranging airport transport via the hotel’s WhatsApp, but only received automated replies. They finally responded on the day of arrival, saying they couldn’t provide transport. Thankfully, we found a great taxi driver at the airport. Check-in went smoothly, but they forgot to give us wristbands, which caused issues the next day. We stayed in a tipi, which was clean with a comfortable bed, though we weren’t told how loud the music would be at night. It didn’t bother us much, but if you want peace and quiet, this isn’t the place. The restaurant and pool staff were very friendly, and the common areas were great. However, when we asked reception to book a taxi for our whale watching trip, communication (via Google Translate) failed. They said a driver would contact us, but no one did. In the morning there was no taxi, so we missed the prepaid tour. The manager did offer us a complimentary lunch, which was appreciated. Key takeaways: • Don’t rely on reception for time-sensitive bookings. • Avoid staying overnight if you want quiet. • Great food, atmosphere, and staff outside of reception. • Not ideal if you don’t speak Spanish.
