Traumhaftes Hotel mitten in San Pedro
Pros:

Das Hotel, die ganze Anlage und die Zimmer sind einfach wunderbar. Sie sind sehr authentisch und modern designed, jedes Häuschen hat seine Privatsphäre. Die Anlage ist super schön, bestens gepflegt und mit dem Pool kann man sich wunderbar nach einem heißen Wüstentag erfrischen. Das Personal ist außerordentlich freundlich, stets hilfsbereit und motiviert, das Beste für den Gast zu geben. Das Frühstück und Abendessen ist sehr lecker. Wir hatten hier wundervolle fünf Tage. Danke an alle 😇💯

Cons:

Nichts, alles bestens

Pros:

Near the shops, restaurants, stop off spots for tours etc. Very easy to find and safe free secure parking. Once you enter the facility, you are in a private oasis with restaurant, pool, private sitting area. A relaxing spot after a day exploring.
The staff are exceptional! Every staff member greets you with a smile, and are so helpful. The reception will help you book tours and make sure you leave and arrive back safely. The restaurant is fabulous. My husband is celiac, and his Gluten free diet was accommodated so well we ate all our meals here. Gluten free bread and rolls were made in kitchen daily. Any meal on the menu was prepared specifically for his diet.
We felt so comfortable eating there that we decided not to risk eating anywhere else. The restaurant setting is beautifully set beside the pool.
The individual pods are spacious and designed with luxury in mind.
The room was cleaned daily. The toiletries are wonderful. There was even "turn down" service with chocolate each night if you wanted.
The bed was very comfortable and clean.
The pool facility was clean and pleasant. Loungers are cleaned daily with clean towels available. There is also a lovely covered sitting area for relaxing. At night the soft lights come on and a fire is lit at the entrance to the pool. It is very romantic. Food and drinks can be ordered from the pool.
This is a small, but very peaceful place where the main staff learn your name and you feel very spoiled. You are not just a guest in room 9!!!!
We have been traveling Chile for a month and this facility was our favorite by far.
I would highly recommend this boutique hotel for a fabulous stay in San Pedro Atacama.

Cons:

Hardly nothing. The parking area is small, but even with our rented truck, the staff looked after parking and made sure we were secure inside the lot.
I have zero complaints!!!

Great location , pretty enviroment which you pay for..
Pros:

The location cannot be beat as it’s at the start of the little Main Street but feels totally remote once inside the walled grounds. Rooms were very nice. Staff were very helpful.

Cons:

There wasn’t enough light in the rooms and the bathroom floor tiles in the shower are the same as the wall tiles making them extremely slippery so we had to put a towel on the floor to shower and not slip. I would suggest the hotel get those little clear rubber mats to place on the floor..

Hospedagem diferenciada no Atacama
Pros:

Quarto grande, bem decorado, muito confortável e limpo, cama king size, funcionários muito atenciosos, localização excelente, café da manhã muito bom, lanches deliciosos para levar nos passeios quando saímos antes do horário do café, nos presentearam na chegada e na saída

Cons:

Wi-fi fraco no quarto, café da manhã a la carte, então era mais demorado e com menos opções do que num buffet

Don't think about it, just book it!
Pros:

One of the best hotels I have ever stayed at. Staff are so kind and welcoming. The hotel looks way better in person than in photos, the decor is incredible. Everything is so thoughtful for example planting herbs that keeps mosquitoes away, having cold water dispensers, and lip balm available for the dryness of the area. Every detail is so carefully planned.
Food is also delicious and breakfast is a la carte.
Location wise is unbeatable because it is at the start of the main street and also where most tours will drop you off/pick up.

Cons:

Wifi was spotty in my room at times but fully available in the common areas. But if you are looking to unplug and disconnect this is ideal.

Pros:

Uns hat es ausgezeichnet gefallen. Es ist ein kleines Hotel, mit einer angenehmen Atmosphere. Sehr gepflegt und auf die Regionalität wird sehr wert gelegt. Man fühkt sich vom ersten Moment an willkommen. Ganz besonders möchten wir uns bei Jimena und Katy an der Rezeption bedanken, die uns mit Ihrer herzlichen Art alle Wünsche erfüllt haben. Die Zimmer sind alle einzelne Häuschen, die liebevoll ausgetattet sind. Das Essen im Restaurant war auch ganz ausgezeichnet. Es liegt auch direkt an der 'Hauptstraße', in der es viele Geschäfte und Ausflugsanbieter gibt.

Cons:

Unser Aufenthalt war zu kurz

Pros:

A gem of a hotel the rooms were lovely excellent value. The staff couldn’t do enough from the reception to the restaurant/ bar all went above and beyond. Food was lovely and priced at the same level as surrounding establishments. I would highly recommend Hotel Desertica to anyone looking to stay in Dan Pedro.

Pros:

Acomodação impecável. Quarto confortável e aconchegante. No início estranhei não ter ar condicionado no quarto, mas realmente não é necessário. Fomos no verão e à noite ainda faz frio. Funcionários muito simpáticos e prestativos. Café da manhã delicioso.
