Semilla Verde Boutique Hotel

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!

Semille Verde is a slice of heaven. The grounds are beautiful, the room was amazing, and the service was phenomenal. Cattya took excellent care of us from the moment of arrival until she saw us off with a warm hug. If you are looking to experience the wonder of the Galapagos outside of a cookie cutter hotel experience, Semille Verde is an excellent choice!

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.

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!

Unwavering, personal attention to guests with lovely, comfortable accommodations. Bedding was excellent, responsive air conditioning on demand, and hot water was unfaltering. The grounds are a nature preserve in and of themselves. Food was delicious and beautifully presented with attention to individual preferences and allergies.

Such a lovely place to stay!!!! Cattya and the lovely ladies took such good care of us!!! The rooms were very comfortable, and the meals the ladies lovingly prepared for us were extraordinary. Each meal provided us with a taste of Ecuador. They even made all my vegan meals gloriously delicious, including the coffee grown right on the property. The grounds were naturally beautiful and emanated peace, with giant tortoises meandering around and keeping us company through the window of the tranquil yoga studio. The professional massages that were provided helped everyone relax even more. Cattya arranged many excursions for us to explore the islands. All of them were superb and allowed us to get up close and personal with the unique natural life there. Saba the dog and Negra the cat gave everyone unconditional love with all of their wags and purrs. The level of kindness, caring, thoughtfulness and professionalism by the staff at Semilla Verde was simply amazing. I highly recommend this incredible hotel for anyone lucky enough to visit the Galapagos.
