About Us

Following our company´s principals of social responsibility, the Palmazul Artisan Designed Hotel and Spa has benefited the community by employing 13 residents of San Clemente and training them to offer a international quality of service always maintaining the warmth characteristic of Ecuadorians. The hard task of selecting and training personnel from the zone, without any previous experience in working in hotels and getting an excellent service without impediments off the ground, was the task of Jessica, Kjetil's wife; who now helps him with event planning from the Columbus Group.

Palmazul Artisan Designed Hotel and Spa belongs to the Columbus Group, with more than 10 years experience in the tourism industry of Ecuador. As well as the hotel, Columbus Group manages businesses in Galapagos, Quito, and Cuenca.
