Semila Verde Hotel on the edge of Santa Cruz Island in the Galapagos is a stunning and serene retreat. The property is beautifully maintained, and it's a unique experience to see giant turtles wandering freely around the grounds. The hotel offers delicious local dishes that truly capture the flavors of the region. The staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond, arranging all transportation to and from the airport and the city, making the stay seamless. It was a wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend this hidden gem for anyone visiting the Galapagos.

Magical! Beautiful property close to town. Friendly team, wonderful breakfast… and tortoises in their natural habitat! On a walk around the property, we saw 10 the first day! We had room 3 - it had a view of the pond where the tortoises grazed and swam - literally right outside our room. If you are visiting the Galapagos, this is a must-stay experience!

This property is incredible and so uniquely different in our opinions. We did a fair amount of research and comparisons before we booked this hotel and the stay recently has proved that we made the right choice. This hotel is in the highlands so a taxi is required to get into town but we expected that so it is not an issue. The host was very welcoming, the services were top notch and friendly. The property has a homely feeling and Sava the dog was a delight to be hanging around with. The daily sightings of the tortoises was the highlight of our stay as we love love them. All in all, it was a very enjoyable and memorable stay for us and we will always appreciate it. Thank you to the team who worked so hard to make our stay such an incredible experience. This

We stayed for 4 nights and the property and staff are GREAT! Cattya was very helpful and knowledgeable about things to do in the area. She did arrange transportation from the airport which was a huge benefit as the driver met us as we arrived and had the bus, boat and taxi transporting all set. Cannot say enough good things about her. The property is amazing as there are giant tortoises all over, we counted 12 when we walked on the trail! There was even one that stayed right out the door at night, pretty cool. Was great having breakfast every morning and then heading out for the day. Very quiet and nice to come back to after being active all day. Would most definitely stay again and will recommend to our family and friends.

What a great property! We explored the property every day and found tortoises everywhere. The food was good- especially the lunch we had preordered for our arrival. We are vegans and it was perfect. The Manager, Shania, was really helpful and exceptional at her job. The rest of the staff was great as well. Our only complaint was that we were in room 7 in the main building. We were above the kitchen and the noise at 6:15am was as if we were sleeping in the kitchen. Until that sound proof the kitchen I would stay in the other building even though those are not the deluxe rooms.

We stayed here three nights and wish it would have been more. Lovely place with tortoises galore. So nice to be in a quiet area yet a quick cab ride from the city. $7 for cab and Semilla arranged it every time. Great area with walking paths. Food and dining area was also superb.

An Absolute Gem of a Hotel
It took me several days to select the perfect hotel for my father and I but ultimately, I chose Semilla Verde because I read a few dozen reviews and they all glorified this place. It’s BETTER than advertised, if that’s even possible. This hotel is tucked away in Bellavista away from the crowded tourism. The days we were there, we saw 12 turtles on the property although reports were that there was twice as many. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles from the entire staff. Evelyn and her Aunt are wonderful women and amazing cooks. Cattya, the awesome manager on the property, made us feel like family. She was very accommodating and made time to make us feel at home. Even before our arrival, she was in constant communication with me about our stay and helped reserve our tour of the Chato Ranch and twin craters with tour guide, Duncan Divine. He was incredible… a walking encyclopedia who balanced informing us of the island while personalizing our tour to the ambiance we wanted. The food at the hotel is 5-star… homemade, fresh, delicious, and the menu was eclectic yet perfect for every meal. There was NO reason to eat any meal outside of the hotel, it was that good. Overall, I can’t sing enough praises of this place. You will NOT be disappointed if you book here for your trip to the Galapagos. The reviews are what they are for a reason… and I confirmed that during our stay there. This is truly a 10/10 hotel. Perfection.

Location is a bit out of the way, which makes it very peaceful and quiet but also a tad inconvenient. Taxis were necessary daily to get anyplace, but only about $8 each way. Rooms were nice, grounds were spectacular, and service stellar. The resident tortoises were visible daily, and the property manager spoke perfect English and did a fabulous job recommending activities, restaurants, arranging transport, etc. Everyone in our party agreed we chose the best place to stay, and would definitely stay again.

The hotel was very responsive pre-arrival to set up tours (ask for Duncan), arranged meals, and gave advice. On property, Cattya was amazing! From two very critical travelers, she’s the epitome of hospitality. She helped us at every point of our stay, and was invaluable. Property is set in a quiet highlands location, has trails, a very friendly dog and wild tortoises to boot! Perfectly secluded, it was a perfect way to experience Santa Cruz!

The Galapagos experience right outside your room
Our time at Semilla Verde was excellent from the service to the quality of the rooms to the location. Having access to the trails and the tortoises right outside our room we really had the Galapagos experience the entire time. The staff, especially Cattya was superb and so welcoming. We really felt at home. We also worked with them to help organize our tours and we the tour operators were also excellent. We definitely highly recommended Semilla Verde and if we make it back to Galapagos we’d without a doubt stay again.
