Near the shops, restaurants, stop off spots for tours etc. Very easy to find and safe free secure parking. Once you enter the facility, you are in a private oasis with restaurant, pool, private sitting area. A relaxing spot after a day exploring. The staff are exceptional! Every staff member greets you with a smile, and are so helpful. The reception will help you book tours and make sure you leave and arrive back safely. The restaurant is fabulous. My husband is celiac, and his Gluten free diet was accommodated so well we ate all our meals here. Gluten free bread and rolls were made in kitchen daily. Any meal on the menu was prepared specifically for his diet. We felt so comfortable eating there that we decided not to risk eating anywhere else. The restaurant setting is beautifully set beside the pool. The individual pods are spacious and designed with luxury in mind. The room was cleaned daily. The toiletries are wonderful. There was even "turn down" service with chocolate each night if you wanted. The bed was very comfortable and clean. The pool facility was clean and pleasant. Loungers are cleaned daily with clean towels available. There is also a lovely covered sitting area for relaxing. At night the soft lights come on and a fire is lit at the entrance to the pool. It is very romantic. Food and drinks can be ordered from the pool. This is a small, but very peaceful place where the main staff learn your name and you feel very spoiled. You are not just a guest in room 9!!!! We have been traveling Chile for a month and this facility was our favorite by far. I would highly recommend this boutique hotel for a fabulous stay in San Pedro Atacama.

Don't think about it, just book it!

One of the best hotels I have ever stayed at. Staff are so kind and welcoming. The hotel looks way better in person than in photos, the decor is incredible. Everything is so thoughtful for example planting herbs that keeps mosquitoes away, having cold water dispensers, and lip balm available for the dryness of the area. Every detail is so carefully planned. Food is also delicious and breakfast is a la carte. Location wise is unbeatable because it is at the start of the main street and also where most tours will drop you off/pick up.

A small oasis of tranquility in the Atacama desert

A gem of a hotel the rooms were lovely excellent value. The staff couldn’t do enough from the reception to the restaurant/ bar all went above and beyond. Food was lovely and priced at the same level as surrounding establishments. I would highly recommend Hotel Desertica to anyone looking to stay in Dan Pedro.

A proper oasis in the desert

Incredibly unique, cosy rooms. The food at breakfast and in the restaurant is criminally underrated and some of the best we had in San Pedro de Atacama. The cocktail list was on point. At night, the outside pool area is transformed with lit braziers and candles and turned in to the most delightful place to kick back and relax. The staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing.

The perfect escape after a busy day

We had an amazing stay, and what a special place to celebrate our engagement! The team were incredibly helpful and welcoming - full of great recommendations and always in a cheerful mood. From the delicious food and drinks, to the tasteful decor of the hotel grounds and our huts - it was truly a special and memorable stay, we found it incredibly difficult to leave! Thank you so so much to all of the staff <3

Beautiful design of the property and rooms, free water dispenser and water bottles as useful souvenirs. Comfortable bed and pillows allowing best night-rest after the active day. Fantastic breakfast, great lunch and dinner. Wonderful staff, hands-on and easy communication.

Unforgettable stay with outstanding service, perfect location for tours, beautiful food, and total t

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.

Best hotel I’ve stayed in!

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!
