"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."

"Hotel Fiesta was great. The cute receptionist with the curly hair was very helpful and knowledgeable. I needed to know where the best sushi in town was and she pointed me in the right direction. She didn't disappoint because the sushi was great! The hotel is close to the bay where the shops, restaurants and water taxis are located which made our stay very convenient. The pool was a highlight for my daughter as well. Steps away from the lagoon and close to the check in for Tortuga Bay if you choose to walk there. I didn't get to do everything I wanted to in the Galapagos but I can say I would definitely stay here again and I hope to be back soon. "

"Needs more storage space and a long mirror. Really liked the trees and landscaping."

"Check in was quick and easy. Staff are super helpful and informative. Breakfast was delicious. Rooms are clean and quite spacious. There is construction right outside the front door but there are walkways around it. They were super thoughtful and prepared a box meal for my dad who went on a day excursion. The meal was generous in both choice and quantity. It’s walking distance to many areas. They gift you two free water bottles and two reusable bags. Honestly this hotel is quite the gem. They recommended great restaurants and tour operators. I would stay here again and recommend to anyone coming to Santa Cruz island. "

"We stayed for 4 days was very good, the breakfast was delicious and also we booked the activities with them, everything was excellent "

"The staff are very friendly and helpful. Rooms are very clean. The outdoor areas are absolutely lovely. However, I had booked a balcony room (which had a great view for sure) but it did not have a hammock as advertised and the noise from the wind coming in around the patio doors every night did not allow for restful sleeping. We would absolutely stay here again, but would not pay extra for a balcony room."

"Absolutely beautiful beachfront hotel! Buffet breakfast is quite good as well and hotel staff is extremely helpful!"

"Beautiful property - lived the staff and the sorroundings. Our villa was excellent "

"This is how Paradise would be defined Garden of Eden with Darwin’s finches our companion for breakfast and fearless Pelican diving with dinner Panoramic views of the ocean and moonlit windy nights to cherish The staff were thoughtful and paid attention to every detail. They had a deep understanding and connection to Nature knowing what is needed to sustain this paradise The hearty fish stew and fresh mango juice I can still taste Mark’s memory will forever be etched with savoring the gingery Mojito every evening.
