Let me start with the few good features of the Alto Atacama: The rooms are nicely decorated, especially the bathroom is very appealing, and the property as a whole is without a doubt beautifully designed. The hotel is located in a quiet area about a 10 minutes from the town centre where a hotel shuttle will get you for 30$(!)... More

This hotel is conveniently located in quiet seclusion yet nearby most of the the Atacama attractions. The hotel staff and guides were very service-oriented. The 3-course meals were varied and of high quality. The rooms were comfortable and heated swimming pools were a treat. There was no television (which suited us fine), there was an in-room radio with limited music... More

I liked this hotel but I've also got to be honest, hence the rating. The hotel has been well designed and beautifully landscaped. I’ve been in contact with the hotel management and hopefully all of the following problems are now being addressed. The reservations system is currently hopeless – my one request when booking was: “Catarpe - I would please... More

We just arrived from 4 days stay at Alto Atacama. We flew to Calama from Santiago and rented a car. It is about 1 hour drive to San Pedro and then the challenge starts. No signs, no directions to the hotel, nobody speaks English. After driving around town on unpaved dirt roads with many one way or walking only streets,... More

We stayed here three nights and no claims. The room was very good, bathroom also and had wifi besides they say it was only in the lobby. The restaurant was good with a certainly sophistication. In fact perhaps the hotel was too sophisticated for the place. My wife was very unhappy because the hotel was not in the town, So... More

A terrific experience from pick up to drop off. The resort is well located within a valley adjacent to San Pedro. The expeditions were great: we did van tours, mountain biking and trekking, all of which were well guided. The rooms were clean and luxurious. The pools were beautiful. The food was great, three course meals for lunch and dinner.... More

This is not a hotel for everybody. If you are in your early twenties, then you will definitely enjoy the lively heart of town and not this hotel. This hotel is 3 km away from town, against huge rock walls of an incredible brown-red color, by the river, very quiet, very peaceful, top quality, superb design and minimalist locally inspired...

We stayed for four nights and had a great experience. The architecture, landscape, and setting were wonderful. Most of the excursions were very well done, especially the Moon Valley, Colorado Canyon, cultural tour, and trekking. We were disappointed with the geyser trip as it was very, very crowded when we got there, and quite a long ride on dirt roads.... More

We stayed for 5 nights......during the worst rains in 20 years! The hotel is very special - the way everything blends into the surrounding area is really amazing. We were disappointed that the weather canceled most of the excusions we were hoping to do, but the guides did a great job of trying to find something for everyone to do.... More

Impeccable service, awesome excursions, great food. I liked being a little outside town - it was quiet and peaceful and felt like a real getaway. It's a 20 minute walk to San Pedro but I only went in once and didn't see a need to return. The Alto Atacama kept us busy with some great excursions to nearby sights (bike... More
