House Rules
We ask every guest to remember a few simple things about what makes a great guest.
Semilla Verde comprises of ten rooms, with four different categories that you may, or may not choose to charge differently. Each room can have at least two beds. Each has their own private bathroom with A/C, ceiling fan and CableTV. WiFi internet is via Starlink. You may choose to add a fully inclusive itinerary or a semi inclusive itinerary, to your booking. We need to book spaces for these as early as possible in the planning. Tour boats to outlying islands and wildlife hotspots normally have a capacity of sixteen, but one has twenty. We sometimes need to book these many months in advance to secure them for you. This is also a consideration when you are looking at numbers for your group. The tour leader must book the itineraries directly with the hotel and must be applicable to all travellers in the group. The semi inclusive itinerary will cost an additional $1,350 per person. The fully inclusive itinerary will cost $1,800 per person. Please contact the owner, Robert Grimstone, for full information, info@gps.ec / WhatsApp +44 7401 609579.
