My husband and I recently tried a massage service that was overall quite pleasant, but unfortunately not as effective as I had hoped. The ambiance was soothing—soft lighting, calming music, and a peaceful atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. The therapist was friendly and professional, taking the time to ask about any specific areas of tension or discomfort. The massage itself was relaxing, and the pressure was just right for a stress-relieving experience. However, despite the enjoyable nature of the session, I didn’t feel much relief from the muscular tightness I had been hoping to address. The techniques seemed to be more surface-level, focusing more on general relaxation rather than targeting deep tissue. While it was a nice way to unwind and certainly helped with mild stress, I didn’t feel the lasting benefits I’ve come to expect from therapeutic massages. It was a good experience for relaxation, but if you’re looking for more intense muscle relief or a solution to chronic pain, this might not be the best fit. Still, for a peaceful, low-pressure experience, it’s definitely worth considering.
This is hands down THE BEST HOTEL I have ever stayed at, and I don't say things like that lightly. The hotel itself is gorgeous, with a waterfall view from almost all of the rooms. I would sit outskde at night and watch the beautifully illuminated waterfall from our balcony. If you'd like to visit, the base of the waterfall is a simple one to two minute walk across the street! The beds are comfortable, and the showers are really nice. The pool is quite amazing as well, and the restaurant attached had really great food. We were even greated with a mimosa upon arrival! However, the best part about this hotel is the staff. A member in my party had a medical emergency late at night, and speaking minimal Spanish we were terrified. They quickly secured a ride to the hospital for us and helped us through the scary times. With no access to a translator at the hospital, they even sent a staff with us to help translate as best as they could, which *literally* may have been life saving. I have never met such kind people before. All in all, this hotel has had better service and views than any hotel I have stayed at before. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Baños.
I love this place! Located downtown, a few minutes from bars, thermal baths and restaurants (although the food at Selina's is delicious!). Whether you want to chill at the accommodation or go for an adventure - like rafting, you are in the right hands with the Selina staff! With the help of Quito Bike Tours, we went on an amazing trip, from seeing waterfalls to a beautiful park up in the mountains filled with flowers and some huge swings. I can’t wait to come back here one day.
