Such a beautiful and welcoming hotel! Slightly out of town in a quieter, greener location. We loved returning there after a long day of traveling to dip in the pool or sit in one of the lovely outdoor areas. You will need to factor in taxi fare (7000 each way) and a little extra time to get the taxi to and from town (about a 10 minute trip). But for us it was well worth it. Highly recommend!!

What a fantastic find. This family run adobe style motel excelled in service. The owner was full of great advice on things to do, and even purchased our tickets for Chaxa when we couldn't get the website to work. The only downside is it is out of town and the roads are narrow and windy, but the upside is peace and quiet.

Out of Town. Secure place with a very good service.
Only bad thing: not much Room insonorisation. But, you are there for the outdoor activites.

The owners were extremely helpful and welcoming. When we checked in, they warmly introduced us to everything in the lodge and showed us the shared facilities. The pool area, courtyard, and both the outdoor and indoor decorations were very cozy and charming. At night, you can even take beautiful photos of the starry sky from the courtyard.
As for the room, the good points were that it was well equipped, had plenty of shelves and storage space for our things, and was cleaned every day. The main downside was that there was no air conditioning or heating, so it could get a little cold at night in winter. I would recommend bringing warm clothes if you visit during the colder season. Also, since we stayed in winter, the hot water for showering was not always very stable.
We barely speak Spanish, but the owners still made a real effort to communicate with us using a translator. On the day we left, we ran into some trouble, and even though we had already checked out, they still tried their best to help us. We were really touched by their kindness. The owners are truly a wonderful couple.

Wonderful Stay
We had a very positive experience at this family-run hotel. The owner was incredibly welcoming and always available to help. She provided us with excellent contacts for taxis and airport transfers, as well as great recommendations for local places to visit and eat.
The breakfast was good, and our room was very comfortable. What made the stay truly special was the warm, friendly atmosphere shared between the owner and the other guests. It felt like a close-knit community, which created a very pleasant and genuine experience.
I highly recommend this hotel and want to thank the owner sincerely for her kindness. I wish her all the best moving forward.
As a tip to avoid any taxi issues, I suggest renting a car to enjoy more independence during your stay.

Experiência unica em São Pedro do Atacama
Aracelli e Iván são sensacionais. Recebem super bem, dão dicas dos melhores passeios, de onde ir comer bem e com custo bom, parceiros para locar carro caso não tenha feito. O Lodge é lindo, extremamente limpo e a Maria (camareira) cuida de todos com uma delicadeza e um carinhoso incrivel. Café da manhã delicioso e o responsável do café sempre atencioso e pergunta se quer algo em especial. Quarto muito gostoso e amenidades de muito bom gosto.
