Best Hotels near Laguna Chaxa, San Pedro De Atacama

An oasis in the desert. Forget the hustle and bustle of Caracoles street when you enter the spacious plaza of Don Raul. The place is well staffed, the room clean and comfortable, and the staff is very helpful. A shout out to Patricio who was more than accomodating. The pool is brisk and refreshing after a day of sight seeing. Next time we go to Atacama, we are staying here.

A super beautiful small resort where many European and American tourists live. The hotel has complete facilities, rich breakfast, and the small travel agency and restaurant are very good, and you can stay for a day without going out. There is a car to the center of the town every half an hour. At night, looking at the night scene in the yard to see the starry sky is really amazing. The stars in the sky are super beautiful. I have never seen such a beautiful starry sky after going to dozens of countries. The most distinctive hotel on this South American trip, highly recommended!

This is an absolutely beautiful hotel outside San Pedro de Atacama. The guest service was excellent, led by Susana, the Guest Relations Manager. The rooms were lovely- very comfortable beds, great showers . lovely views. We chose the complete experience so all meals and all tours were included. The food was great. This is a perfect place to go when traveling as a family who enjoy different acvity levels. The hotel accommodated that perfectly. The guides for all the different levels of excursions were excellent, including Joel (who was a great guide and very calm and helpful in cleaning up cuts and bruises when one of us tripped), Fernando and Carolina (who led some of the more difficult hikes for the young adults in our group) and Alexis (who took care of those of us in the more easy-going category). This is great place to visit in the Fall - the temperatures are mild during the day (but cold if you choose to go to 14,000 feet to see the geysers) and cool at night. We had four days of sunshine and the resort was not crowded (until a large tour group arrived but the hotel made sure that the crowd did not interfere with the individual guests).

The front desk staff are friendly but don’t fully explain the basis of ones stay. We were HB and you either have a choice of their 3 course fixed menu or you can take the wider menu and have a credit against your meal cost, the latter a far better option. We only realised when we took lunch on our third day and were handed the menu we had had for the last two evenings. Housekeeping is excellent, room was always remade well and turned down at night. However this is not a 5* hotel and given we paid effectively $600 per night genuinely overpriced. I would not stay here again but that is both because the value offer is sub par for what it is and there are plenty of other hotels in the area and also because they genuinely do not understand customer service. Also the pool area is tiny with very few beds around it so for the few hours you may have when not on tours you really don’t have anywhere to relax aside from your room. There is a nice outdoor dining seating area but only one table has shade at lunch. They do offer breakfast bags if your tour starts before they do which was good and they also have bikes you can use if you want to explore on wheels. Walkable to the main area of town in 5-10 minutes, location good. Be careful as you cannot pay by US$ debit card (Revolut, Monzo cards not accepted), the T&Cs at the time of booking sent by the hotel stated that ‘at the time of check in a credit card will be requested as a guarantee or another method of payment’ this is not an issue and is standard and I gave a credit card. Also their T&Cs stated ‘the national sales tax (19%) may be charged at check out to citizens of Chile regardless of the length of stay and to foreigners staying in the country for 60 consecutive days or more. To qualify for tax exemption, foreigners must pay for their stay in foreign currency (not in Chilean pesos (CLP) and present a valid passport along with the migration card that they received upon arrival int eh country at check in’. So where does this state that you cannot on check out use a debit card in US$ which is accepted universally across all of Chile, it does not state this anywhere. When checking out and presented with my hotel bill I was asked to pay in US$ ($2436.43) for our 4 night stay. I handed over my debit card and the front desk lady tried to take payment but said that a debit card in US$ would not work! She then told me that I could pay in Chilean pesos. So I converted the US$ to Chilean Pesos in front of her on my debit card (incurring fx charges) and then once I represented the card she then told me that I would now have to add 19%, where in their T&Cs is that stated!! So having been told that the T&Cs were actually incorrect and now having incurred over $50 of foreign exchange charges for no reason, I then paid using a credit card which has its’ standard fx charges. Yet NOI hotel T&Cs are not accurate. I raised a complaint via an email and it took over a week for the hotel to come back and not acce

Cuando decidimos ir a San Pedro de Atacama, la idea era optar por una estadía acorde al lugar, quizá acostumbrados a la hoteleria clásica. El lugar está a la entrada de San Pedro de Atacama y optamos por éste, principalmente porque había lugares que aunque tenían mejores calificaciones, también asumian que el ruido nocturno empañaba la estadía. Se trata de un hostal cómodo, cercano, sin mayores garantías, adecuado a lo que buscábamos (tranquilidad, silencio, descanso). Pieza completa, baño privado, closet y espacios adecuados. No cuenta con TV, lo cual lo hace más tranquilo y cómodo, especialmente por las noches. Cuenta con una pequeña piscina que sirve para refresc****, además está rodeado de sillones para descansar post almuerzo o para disfrutar de la noche. Atención personalizada de Johnny (dueño) que te ayuda frente a solicitudes que se requiera. Desayuno buffet completo para el tipo de estadía. Wifi impecable, sin intermitencias. Supermercado al frente del hostal. Quedamos muy conformes a lo elegido y lo volveríamos a elegir si hubiese una nueva visita.

The hotel (homestay) is very close to the pedestrian street in the town and it is more convenient to be 100 meters away. This is a big advantage. There are trees and flowers in the yard, so there is no atmosphere. And the hotel provides a convenient homemade breakfast such as a toast driver, a refrigerator. Although my room was outside the hotel at the street intersection, I could adapt. The problem is that the water heater in the bath in the room is a problem. The contact is often powered off. I have controlled my bath time within three minutes, but I have to cut off the electricity several times for a bath. The pressure is very high. After all, it is a plateau and cannot catch cold. Wifi is also a problem, slow and weak signal, very inconvenient.

I had a lovely stay at Our Habitas Atacama. This is an absolutely beautiful place, with a vibe that whispers family and community in the best way possible. The staff were so incredibly friendly and helpful— in a way that made me feel like they were my friends and not performing their “duties as staff.” I had such a wonderful stay… I booked a chakra alignment/massage/energy work with Valesca and felt TRANSFORMED afterward. It was one of the best massages of my life. She was absolutely incredible. I arrived early (well ahead of check-in) and Carolina, one of the front desk staff, was so sweet. She did everything in her power to get me to a room as soon as possible, which was a BEAUTIFUL room with a rooftop terrace for stargazing in the evening. I never wanted to leave the property, actually, even though there are so many wonderful things to do in Atacama! All staff were super attentive and friendly— other highlights included Oscar, one of the most charming and knowledgeable staff I have met at any hotel, anywhere; Cristobal, the community manager who scheduled my wellness visit and I now feel like is one of my friends; Camila— who shared a super secret stargazing spot on the property; Sebastian, Kenny— you were both wonderful, too! I have read from other guests’ reviews that they thought the rooms were uncomfortable and hot— I went during record heat and when I requested a fan, it was in my room within 15 minutes, and it was quiet! Additionally, I found the beds to be incredibly comfortable and the rooms delightful. But most of all, what I would love to return to is this idea that at Habitas, you feel genuinely cared for and a sense of friendship and family. I would definitely book again.
