Having come from another top local hotel and been rather disappointed, Desertica was a breath of fresh air. We were warmly greeted and given detailed local info by the excellent friendly warm front office person. The room was exceptional, as were the hotel grounds. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wish it could have been longer

Hotel Desertica is one of the nicest hotels my wife and I have ever stayed in. The location is 10/10, the staff are so friendly and the rooms are unique and luxury. My wife was ill for a day and the staff prepared off-menu chicken soup to make her better and provided local medicinal tea, which really helped. We had to change hotels due to availability but was so unimpressed by the alternative that we returned and spent the rest of our trip at Hotel Desertica. 5* all round!!

This hotel is the best! Definitely recommend this stunning oasis in the otherwise dusty and scruffy San Pedro de Atacama. The town is fun, but it's wonderful to have this island of luxury to escape back to. The food was amazing, the staff so friendly and helpful and everything in the hotel is beautiful. Couldn't recommend highly enough!!

This is a hidden gem in San Pedro de Atacama. Directly on the main strip, and close to tour companies, restaurants and shopping. The property is centrally located but also wonderfully quiet, with each room being a distinct and beautifully set up building. The food at the hotel rivals anything in town, and the staff are all universally hospitable and pleasant. Would recommend this to anyone visiting San Pedro.

Ideal Oasis in San Pedro

Great find! An oasis in San Pedro. If you are planning any group excursions to geysers, salt flats, etc, it’s really convenient to be dropped off at your hotel. Easy walk to the town’s main street amenities. Staff are really kind and thoughtful, rooms are comfy and quiet, and the whole place has a friendly, calm vibe. Highly recommend!

Stay here! Perfect in every way.

Absolutely perfect. Can’t recommend it enough. It’s beautiful and the staff are so helpful and kind. Plus it may not seem important yet, but you’ll thank me — nearly every tour will drop you right outside this hotel at the end of each long, tiring day. Great location at one end of the Main Street (Caracoles.)

Wonderful Place to Stay in the Desert

We looked at far more expensive, all-inclusive accommodations in San Pedro de Atacama before discovering Hotel Desertica. What a find! They truly had everything you need for a relaxing stay in the desert at a very reasonable price. The staff is friendly and professional, the free breakfast was fresh and abundant, and it was great to unwind at the restaurant at night after a long day exploring this incredible part of the world. This was a late-autumn visit, so we did not swim -- but it was lovely to sit by the pool and soak in the sun for a few hours here and there. They are super-well located, just steps to everything you need. Highly recommend!

Great property

Beautiful property and service was top notch. Each room is a stand alone unit. Was able to park my car on site. When we left early to see the geysers, the hotel provided a very nice boxed breakfast. One thing to note is that the pool is not heated so not usable in the colder months. On-site restaurant for days when we didn’t feel like leaving the property for dinner

It was an amazing experience with incredibly helpful staff and wonderful facilities. It’s location is right in the heart of the action and is the location of choice for tour droop off. Great breakfast although many tours start early and you’ll miss out but they do pack a carry away breakfast if notified. Disregard the check-in warnings on Expedia that states they stop check-in at 530. That’s nonsense and they’ll welcome you whenever you get there. One last warning, their entrance is subtle and can easily be missed if your driver is not used to dropping off passengers at the Desertica.
