So beautiful, an oasis in San Pedro de Atacama. The grounds are peaceful, especially loved the platform beneath the trees, for lounging / meditating.

Our stay at the hotel in San Pedro de Atacama was mostly pleasant. While they occasionally had issues with hot water, they worked hard to resolve it. The restaurant was excellent, and the staff was very kind. The laundry service was a big plus as well.

Authenticity & Character
This place makes you feel relaxed as soon as you arrive. The outdoor sitting area under the tree is magical. the entryway sitting area is functional and water bottle refilling station is a plus. Highlighting awareness about best behavior in a sensitive environment are critical for guests to understand.

easy to walk into town and get picked up by tour companies

The hotel is off 5 mins walk to the centre. The room we had was quite small. Due to the design of the hotel, the room is quite hot and we had to open the door to allow air circulation. The hotel is a bite dated but the staff is great and helpful. The best thing of the hotel is its restaurant. The food is very good and priced very reasonable (actually, it is cheaper than the restaurants in the centre). Read more

Authenticity & Character
A more modern and luxurious hotel from the range of options in Atacama
Location
It feels a little outside the main part of town which can be quite noisy. It has a quiet and secluded location but is a short walk from the restaurants and bars
Staff
Lovely staff especially those working at the reception over night - a lot of tours end late or begin very early in the morning and they were very helpful
Cleanliness & Comfort
Very very clean. They have a lovely pool which is just perfect to come back to after a dusty desert tour
