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.

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 😀

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:

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.

Great Atmosphere, Poor Reception Service
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.

Tudo foi muito bom, funcionários, comida, quarto, piscina e praia.
A equipe do hotel foi maravilhosa, super educados e gentis.
Único ponto negativo é a professora de Yoga que é muito mal educada e desrespeitosa, por duas vezes foi rude conosco quando estávamos aguardando as aulas no espaço.
Ela definitivamente ela não combina com o restante da equipe e com o hotel. Repensem pois vimos ela tratar mal outros hóspedes também.
Fora isso foi nota 10 nossa estadia.
