“The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had warm water for showers but it did run out for the 4 of us. They had clean water and fruit for us and a good breakfast. We were pleased with our stay”
“The owners were very friendly and welcoming. It appeared to be a family run establishment and they made sure we felt at home. Rooms are simple, clean and safe. A few blocks from the beach and close to all amenities. ”
“We had the pleasure of staying at Hotel La Laguna, and from the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and cared for. What made our experience stand out was the hospitality of the hotel representative, Gian Carlos.
Gian Carlos is kind and service-minded. He went above and beyond to make our stay special — from thoughtful recommendations tailored to our interests to small personal touches that made us feel more like guests in a friend’s home than in a hotel. He is passionate about what he does, and……
“Lovely place right on the beach. Great location, walking distance form lots of restaurants and shops. Not that far from pier, like 20 min walk.
Staff super nice and helpful. Proactively reached out to us to make sure we had breakfast either in their terrace or giving us a to-go bag.
I’d definitely will stay here again. ”
“We had a lovely night stay here. You’re on an island so some ants and bugs can be expected. This isn’t The Four Seasons so if you were looking for that you would be disappointed. What you will find staff willing to go above and beyond like Jonathan, who made our stay lovely. Love that you could just walk to the beach right behind the property. The peace and tranquillity you will find here is unmatched. I think this is the best place to stay on the island. We will definitely be returning. ”
“Really nice place to stay, very comfortable and the staff are very friendly. The food was excellent. Good advice and booking for tours.
Location is a short walk from main centre, a few mins, but that makes it nice and quiet. Close to harbour so easy access from ferry.”
“We loved our stay here. It is on the edge of the small town, but easily walkable to everything including a sunset bar that was awesome. I assume it was not coincidentally named Iguana Crossing, but it is literally located at a point where iguana after iguana cross the road. The views from our room and the pool were unbelievable and the wildlife that literally walks in the lobby is amazing. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful.”
“This property is simply fantastic - overlooking the ocean - superb view and location - staff extremely friendly and helpful - all shops close by - great location - enjoyed thoroughly ”
“The owner of the property let us check in early and check out late. She also provided a great breakfast every morning including homemade breads and fruit juices. She also helped us with our excursions and hailing taxis. Very nice host with pride of ownership.”
“Lovely hostal on Isabella Island! I've stayed at 4 hostels in the islands and this one was by far my fav. Many lacked the social aspect, but here the owners have a lovely beach bar across the road where they hosted events (game nights, trivia, etc) which was great to meet other travellers. The rooms were spacious, shower was hot, rooftop area was nice. Only 1 item I disliked - 2 of the windows in my room were just screens at the top and couldn't be closed, so you could hear all the noise from……
“Excellent location, clean, friendly, and great breakfast. Highly recommend. Only caveat- the outdoor area on the water shown in photos is actually a couple blocks from the rest of the hotel. Not a big deal, but I was surprised. ”
“Location was great. Rooms are clean. We did not take the breakfast service as we had adventures each day that started at 7:00 AM. Its a great basecamp”
“What a perfect way to experience the Galapagos islands! So happy my wife and I chose Semilla Verde Boutique Hotel over a hotel in the town. The grounds are wonderful. We walked the paths and saw the tortoises multiple times per day. It was an easy 10 minute taxi into town for tours, restaurants and other activity when we needed it. But we loved the quiet and tranquility at Semilla Verde. The pool is refreshing. The staff are so helpful and friendly. The coffee is grown on the property and makes……
“Family owned. Very warm and welcoming, helpful, caring. Room very comfortable and clean. They coordinate tours and daily activities for you. We felt like home.
Es un hostal familiar. Son muy cálidos, te reciben con mucha amabilidad y se preocupan por todo. El cuarto muy cómodo y limpio. Te ayudan a coordinar paseos y actividades diarias. Nos sentimos como en casa.”
“The Royal Palm offers a truly immersive Galápagos experience—set inland on a stunning 100 acre property, far from the touristy feel of the ports. Recently under new ownership, the property is being refreshed: rooms are spacious and renovated, the pool has been redone, and quiet renovations are underway, including apparently a unique lava tunnel spa. Some exterior areas still need attention, but the overall feel is serene and authentic.
Service is top-notch and boutique-level, with attentive,……
