Semilla Verde Boutique Hotel

I led a yoga retreat here and my expectations were surpassed! I travel with One Yoga Global and they only work with top properties! Cattya was always available when needed and everything was organized perfectly! The beds are excellent and the a/c at night was appreciated. The kitchen, housekeeping and grounds staff were impeccable! This is a great property run with the highest level of hospitality!

Very comfortable room; slept incredible! Second floor with balcony, including hammock. Cattya and staff were fantastic. We had daily meals, they easily accommodated my vegetarian diet. The coffee was delicious, grown on site. The fresh juice was delightful, also made on site. Taxi into town was $7 each way. Daily walks with the giant tortoises was fascinating!

What a perfect way to experience the Galapagos islands! I'm so happy my wife and I chose Semilla Verde Boutique Hotel over a hotel in the town. The grounds are wonderful. We walked the paths and saw the tortoises multiple times per day. It was an easy 10 minute taxi into town for tours, restaurants, and other activities when we needed it. But we loved the quiet and tranquility at Semilla Verde. The pool is refreshing. The staff are so helpful and friendly. The coffee is grown on the property and makes an amazing breakfast even better. And we used the yoga/fitness studio every morning. What a perfect hotel for us. Highly recommend. And we used Guiding Galapagos Tours, who also made our stay in Galapagos an amazing experience.

We had the pleasure of staying a week at Semilla Verde. We were in no way disappointed. The staff go above and beyond to ensure you are happy and taken care of. Catya the manager has truly found her calling. We have never come across someone who so genuinely wants to ensure you are enjoying yourself. The food is amazing and all freshly prepared by the amazing cooks. The freshly squeezed juices are addictive. The tours they can arrange for you are top notch, and all come with a naturalist. The rooms were beautiful and spotless. They can even do some of your laundry if need be. The trip was so wonderful we plan on returning in the future. Tortoises are a plenty on the property and Saba the resident lab will guide you down the many trails protecting you from these beasts. Ha Ha. Do not hesitate to book your stay here. It is truly heaven on earth. One thing about Ecuador. Do not drink the water. It is not safe for consumption. Semilla Verde has purified water in your room as well as throughout the property, as do hotels in Quito.

Loved the natural beauty of the place. Our room was very good and very well kept. All the facilities were fabulous . Especially loved the yoga studio n the tortoises by the pond. Food was great and service was really great at all times. Manager provided great information for all our excursions.

The accommodations, staff, food, atmosphere and location provided for a magical retreat. I really can't say enough good about our time spent here. Exactly what we needed and more than we expected. Cattya was a delight. Would love to return someday with family and friends.
