A perfect stay.

A perfect stay from a complimentary early check in to a comfortable room and especially comfortable bed. Secure private parking. Excellent housekeeping and all staff very friendly and helpful. The hotel feels like an oasis in the town, with seating areas outside each room as well as others dotted around the hotel. Lovely relaxing pool area and terrace. Good choice at breakfast.

We rented a car and drove from Calama airport to SPDA. The hotel has a private, gated parking area, which is very convenient. We really enjoyed having the free buffet breakfast and the restaurant on site. It's a bit pricey but the food is excellent. If you are leaving early for sightseeing, the hotel will prepare you a bag breakfast to take with you! The hot tub was excellent after a long day of sightseeing/hiking. We also got massages at the spa - the spa, however, is around the corner and not on the actual hotel property. It's just a one-minute walk away. The rooms are bungalows with outdoor entrances so you will not hear the other guests at all. We had a skylight in our room. The property itself has many trees and birds and is quite lovely. The staff was SO helpful and kind, especially in the restaurant. Overall, we had a great stay here and would definitely recommend it.

Stayed here for 2 nights and the was the worst hotel we ever stayed due to the bad attitude of the owner. 1. Attitude of the owner on -the bathroom toilet issues: Issue: We arrived at the hotel in the evening after a long day from Punta Arenas and they assign us room 8. the toilet bowl does not work. they mentioned they will send somebody. 30 minutes later nothing. the guy arrives after repeated follow ups and then says he cannot fix it since there is a power outage and no water. I got to the reception to change the room, Response: -the staff says he can give another room but i have to move back to this room the next day and then transfers the phone to the owner. She is so rude and says she cannot do anything since the hotel is sold out..as if she was doing us a favor for letting us stay there and we have to understand the problem. - On top of that their generator was not working. She told me that we can go and find another hotel since it is not her problem since there is a power outage and they cannot fix the toilet till it comes. Nor can she give us another room for 2 nights. We stayed back and the alternative room offered was even more gloomier. 2 Rooms: the ventilation is very poor with one window and no AC. It made me sick all the time we were in the room. Had to keep the doors and window open if we needed to breathe. There is something wrong with the air quality inside the rooms. 3. Service: awful I would highly recommend to stay away from this property.

We left the towels scattered around, but the maid did NOT change the towels, just folded the still wet towels and put them on the bed. There was a man’s hair inside the hamburger. The reception did not tell us that the breakfast had to be booked, nor was it shown anywhere when the restaurant opens and closes. We booked an anniversary celebration online which costs 18,000 pesos and included a cake and half bottle of champagne. The reception said that she could not find the reservation. In the end we got the cake and champagne but the hotel charged us 23,000, without telling us the price in advance. They sent the cake to the room, but did not give us any utensils to eat the cake with! I had to walk back to the restaurant to get them myself. When we checked in, they told us our room was ready, but when we entered the room, there was NO curtains. Some maintenance men came in when I was showering to install the curtains. The reception gave us no prior notice at all.

Wifi coverage was patchy, dependant on how close your room was to a WiFi point. Ours had no WiFi in the room. Pool was hazy, so could do with better cleaning. Restaurant was average, quality was ok, menu average.
