I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The rooms, although a bit moist due to the surroundings, were perfect for venturing out on day tours, offering a great view. Robert, the staff member, went above and beyond to organize our daily excursions. The service was incredibly helpful and kind, catering to our every request. The location, nestled in the highlands on a beautiful piece of property planted with native vegetation, was the perfect base to explore the nature wonders of the Galapagos. The dining experience, while wonderful with communal tables, was a bit repetitive. Overall, a lovely stay!

Staying at Semilla Verde was a delightful experience. The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with outdoor seating areas and modern baths, although the dining was not the most exciting. The location in the highlands surrounded by nature and hundreds of tortoises was truly unique, offering a cooler and peaceful ambiance than staying in town.
