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.
