Selina Serenity Rawai Phuket

Had one of the most magical and unforgettable evenings of my life at Salina Hotel and Restaurant Signe. Everything about this place is special the atmosphere, the beautiful people working there, the warmth of the staff, and most of all the incredible passion coming from the kitchen. A huge part of this unforgettable experience was the head chef. I had the pleasure of speaking with him personally, and you could immediately feel his love, energy, dedication, and deep respect for food. It is rare to meet someone who puts so much soul into what they create. The dishes he prepared were honestly among the best I have ever tasted in my life, especially the fish cooked with such precision, balance, and creativity that every bite felt like an experience on its own. This was not just a dinner. It felt personal, emotional, and truly authentic. The head chef turned food into art and emotion, and together with the amazing kitchen team and wonderful staff, they created an atmosphere that felt warm, connected, and full of heart. You can visit many beautiful places in the world, but very few give you a memory that stays with you forever. This evening did exactly that. Thank you from my heart to the head chef, the kitchen team, and every single person working there for creating such a meaningful and extraordinary experience. A true world-class experience both personally and gastronomically. Highly recommended to anyone who appreciates real hospitality, passion, and unforgettable food.

Stayed in 902 on 2-4th May Good: Room is clean and comfortable with a yard for relaxation and chatting. The pool is great and they have live music for those who want to chat and relax by the poolside even till 10pm. They provide activities for guests like yoga and Pilate sessions, pool volleyball etc. They drive from airport to the resort is easy (rent a car). The staff are courteous and welcoming especially the male sweeper. Watch the sunrise by the pool, it’s nice! Not so good: The bath towels need to be replaced, they are old and stained after years. The boy at the bar on 3rd May 9:30am was grouchy.

The staff were so nice and easy to communicate with, comfortable and modern rooms, cheap food and drinks and lots of other fun activities. Highly recommend.

Selina Rawai feels like the Lotus Casino from Percy Jackson, minus the cookies, plus coconuts. You roll in thinking you’ll stay a night, and suddenly it’s a few weeks later, you’ve “accidentally” joined a yoga class, learned how to barchata, explored all of phuket on mopeds, island hopped, and made new friends you plan to see again. People might start a little shy, but everyone’s here to meet others. Say hello, get stuck, and enjoy the ride.
