"Great, great location. Property is beautiful. And staff are so helpful. My partner was not feeling great the first day and they were so understanding and caring. If I could give them 6 stars, I would."

"Great place to stay if you are visiting Atacama. Very centrally located. The hotel is great with individual cottages for your room. Staff is excellent. Most tours will pick you up from this hotel or the tour company maybe a short walk. The staff is very responsive to WhatsApp messages and we never had any issues. We really enjoyed our stay here and I highly recommend it."

Fantastic breakfast with lovely accommodating staff. More than happy to assist always. Don’t be put off with the distance from town - cheap taxi ride and easy bike ride. A relaxing and quiet place to stay. Highly recommended!

We had a great stay. What a beautiful property! We loved the decor, and all the spaces to hang out in. The 2 full kitchens in the common areas were great, and great espresso! Good coffee is hard to find in the area!
Bed and pillows were comfy, and the service was friendly. We were especially grateful to be able to do laundry there, saved us having to find a laundromat!

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

We LOVED this hotel! San Pedro Atacama is a dry dusty place but the minute you entered the front door of this charming hotel, you felt as though you were in a little piece of paradise.
The staff were very helpful, especially Cynthia who assisted when we checked in, but also when we left. She went above and beyond the call of duty when our transfer didn’t arrive (we stupidly didn’t arrange it through the hotel, but direct with a tour company). We would have missed the plane without her...

This hotel is outstanding. Professional friendly staff who goes out of their way to help, great breakfast and dinner. It’s clean and close to the city center. We highly recommend Agua Del Desierto.

The room was really quirky which we really liked. Easy walk to the main area. Check in was easy, staff was great. Plenty to eat for breakfast. No complaints at all.

The staff was lovely and so helpful. The room was clean and it was in a nice spot with a courtyard to sit it. Breakfast was nice and on our last day they made us a packed breakfast as we were leaving early. Secure place to part your car.

All of the staff were so friendly and welcoming and supportive. The facilities and included activities (yoga, sound healing & star-gazing) were excellent.
An absolute pleasure talking to Oscar about the construction, maintenance and history of hotel and community. Cristobal has built a fantastic team and we could see they had a real focus on 'connection'

The staff at the Atacama loft are some of the nicest people they went above and beyond to make me feel welcomed. It was by far my favourite hotel in my three week holiday.
I love how quite and relaxing it is as it’s not right in the main square but it’s close and safe enough to work to and from.
The tents are a great size and have all everything you need to keep warm in these winter months.
