Nothing!

Our stay at Hotel Desertica was absolutely unforgettable – the most incredible place we’ve stayed. The service was exceptional, with special thanks to Jimena who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Breakfast was beautifully presented each morning, the restaurant is the best in the area, and the location is ideal for tour pick-ups and drop-offs. Relaxing by the pool in such peaceful surroundings, watching wildlife pass by, was the perfect way to unwind – we would 100% stay again if in San Pedro.

Nothing, everything was perfect.

The hotel is in the perfect location and the room was one of the best I’ve stayed in, and so unique as they’re all their own huts. The bed was extremely comfortable and the shower got to the perfect temperature. I can’t compliment the staff enough, they were all so friendly and attentive from start to finish. As it was my birthday, they gave us a complimentary cake and bottle of sparkling wine at dinner which was a lovely touch. And last but not least the food was phenomenal, I wish I could’ve tried everything on the menu!

Great location right in town, in San Pedro. Secure parking on property. Gorgeous rooms, lovely outdoor space with pool (although not touched in winter!! ) The staff were wonderful, helpful with day trip ideas, friendly, warm and spoke a little English which was rare but helpful!

This place is like a sanctuary in the middle of the desert. A very peaceful vibe throughout. The beds are SO comfortable and it’s incredibly quiet at night.

Packed lunches for excursions not so great. Room was too hot despite fan provided. Probably a bit expensive compared to others.

Food and rooms were great. Staff was attentive. Overall gorgeous facilities with walkways and lighting. .

I liked everything about the hotel, but the airport transfer to the hotel was a bit hectic. I inquired about it through Desertica, but the car transfer company (Pampa Transfer) at the airport is not quite helpful if you don't speak Spanish at all. It would be great if a private transfer is also offered.

This place is like an oasis in busy, bustling, and dusty San Pedro. I pretty much liked everything about this hotel: staff, service, food/drinks, and the location. (It's located in the prime meeting spot if you are planning any guided group tours.) The room was quite authentic and very lovely, with small details, and it felt like I was back to rest after the tours and activities in San Pedro/Atacama. I only stayed for 1 night since I spent the rest of my Atacama stays in Explora, but I was so glad that I stayed at Desertica on my first day in Atacama to experience the local vibe of San Pedro.

Artistic decor; comfy beds and big rooms; quiet location close to town center in walking distance; wonderful staff !!! A lady staff at the restaurant on Dec 18th found a stack of US $ that my husband accidentally dropped on the ground. She bought the money back to our room. We much appreciated such honesty, and wish to let the hotel manager know this. They kept our luggage while we took tours after we checked out. They gave us local tour info promptly and we are happy with its suggestions.

Beautiful room, lovely public spaces, with a great respect for the environment and the local style. I also liked that the hotel is small and intimate. Despite being very centrally located, the small compound feels tucked away from the buzz around it. The staff was simply wonderful.
