The Hotel Monte Selva is as good as it gets in every way! Within walking distance to everything in Banos and close to the town center, you have a view of the city from high up the hill on this hotel property. Many tours will pick you up directly from the Hotel Monte Selva. The grounds are filled with wild... More

very good place, we stayed in rooms near the pool and spa in single and double rooms all very clean. the restaurant very good, especially the "buffet" excellent.

I am really surprised at the not so good reviews of this hotel. My boyfriend and I stayed in one of the cabins (202) and it was soooo beautiful and romantic!

However, the cabana they gave us was excellent - up in the hills with a great view and plenty of chairs as well as a comfy double bed. The spa was switched on to begin with as the hotel... More

Inside, there are several pools. There was a arctic plunge pool, a few regular bubbly pools and also a very hot pool. Also inside there... More

Monte Selva was recommended to us by another hotel operator. That should have been a give-away. The nightly rate was suppose to be $25. When we got there we were told it was $64 a night.
