Everything good service

Worse breakfast I ever had.

Our stay is very cosy and comfortable. The room is very clean and quite. Its location is friendly for rental cars, so we don’t need to find parking in the crowded streets. The host also provides transport services to town center. Very convenient!

Very rustic like the rest of san pedro! Very friendly staff, breakfast cooked fresh to order every morning! 25 min walk from town, if you dont feel like walking they have a shuttle on site which is great!!

Absolutely amazing. I cannot recommend this hotel enough. The family run hotel is so cute and they will go above and beyond consistently to make sure you are comfortable. The location is pretty and traditional so it feels like a little village. They have convenient and safe parking for rented cars along with a hot tub and pool. The rooms are comfortable.

It was a fun adventure to stay in the Sami Atacama Lodge. The breakfast is top quality and the staff is friendly and helpful. The parking is rather tight and limited. The bed is comfortable and the room is spacious. The bathroom is also spacious but the shower is a tight tube that makes showering very uncomfortable. Also it took a while to get hot water. Over all a good experience.
5.0
The place has the necessary for staying in the area, swiming pool, jacuzzi, common areas and staff treats you excelent!
The only thing is a bit far from the town to go walking, however they have shuttle services at certain hours, just ask for it, there are no extra charges.

There i a a great difference between what is shown on photos via the website and what we've discovered; the place need really to be maintained in several places.
hopefully we had a discount when we've booked, if not we would have been really disappointed.
a window of our room was repaired with scotsch tape, the door of the closet was broken, and the furniture are not the ones on photos, the door of the room could not be fully opened because of the wraped floor.the bathroom was nice.the jacuzzi should be cleaned, the wood is green because of the water.The staff was very kind and helpfull and the breakfast is very good. tea and coffee are available 24h/day. Not a lot could be done to the make the place nice to stay. the place is quiet.

We had trouble finding this property but once there it was a great experience (a sign at the end of the road to it would have been helpful). Own transport was really required for this property as it was quite a walk into town. Covered parking was provided and there was good security with a locked compound . This appeared to be a family run business, the family were really helpful, lovely people who offered a service beyond what we expected providing drinking water and hot drinks included in the price whenever you wanted. They cooked for us when we requested. Language was sometimes a difficulty but we managed and it was great fun staying here.

My husband & I stayed here for our first 3 nights in Chile. It was perfect & we cannot thank them enough for the hospitality. The owners were welcoming, caring, & knowledgeable. They were very accommodating for our early mornings & check out - even ensuring food was set out for us by 5am despite a typical 8am breakfast. We would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing stay. The lodge is not at the heart of San Pedro and requires a 5-10 minute drive - but my husband & I preferred the quiet, homey atmosphere to a lively hostel downtown.

Nice view from the property, swimming pool, hot-tub etc. Well taken care of. Little far from town, maybe 2km but not bad.

The staff where lovely but only speak Spanish the place is a 20 min walk from town at the very least makes it hard to come back to at night. They are doing a lot of upgrades to the property expecialy the entry and surrounds. There is no room heating but great blankets.

We had rented a car and arrived after dawn. Great difficulty finding the hostel. Not marked at all and their phone dosent work. However, when you find it (yes, it's the fully wooden gated property) the owners are so very kind. I had my own oatmeal for breakfast but used their bread to make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for our lunches. I had my own peanut butter jar.
2.5
Nice place. The owner speaks very good English, and was very helpful with recommendations and was very knowledgeable about everything in San Pedro. She was also very hospitable. I learned they are expanding, and when they do, I’m certain it will be even better. While it’s a tad far from the center city, it’s not dreadfully far. If I ever return to San Pedro, this is the first place I’d consider.

I tried to make a comprehensive and detailed review of our nightmare at the Atacama Adventure Wellness Ecolodge, but Travelocity only allows 1500 characters which is not enough to properly inform you of what you would be getting yourself into by booking this property which we not not advise. So the short version:
1. Booked over 3 months in advance, called to confirm reservations were in order a week before departure. Arrived, wrong rooms, no chance of moving people had to share beds that do not share beds....staff response, shrugs a smiles no apologies.
2. The wooden path, only path, from the gate to the lobby has a wooden plank missing which I stepped in and almost broke my leg, it gets very dark in the desert at night. Its a $2 board...staff response, nothing...espiecially not an apology. As if I didnt even exist.
3. Dogs on the property, 1 attacked and bit 1 of our guests who had to go the hospital and another occasion attempted to attack me which I was lucky and kicked it in the face as it was trying to bite me. Everyone was scared of the dogs but staff would not put them away, they have complete free roam of entire property. Staff response,"they dont bite,"shrugs and smiles, no apologies.
4. No hot water for 5 days. (Temperatures were -5 to -10 C at night and morning in the desert.)
5. No heat in the room. (Temperatures were -5 to -10 C every night and in the room.)
6. Dogs barked all night.
7. Out of eggs every morning. No matter what time we went to breakfast.

HORRIBLE STAY!! We booked the room for 3 nights. It gets down to the low 40s F at night, so it's COLD. The first night we asked about the heat and the clerk told us that it automatically turns on at a certain temperature. Our room had a fireplace so she said someone would be there at 9 pm to start a fire for us. At 9:30 we asked her about the fire again and she said "No." The heat never came on that night so when we woke up in the morning it was freezing. The floor of the bathroom is tile and it hurt to walk on with bare feet because it was so cold. The second night we asked again about the heat and she just said "no". We pushed further and she explained that the heat is broken and won't work, but not offering any alternative, we were supposed to just accept it. We pushed back and she finally agreed to light the fireplace, which they did, but only had enough wood for an hour of fire, so the room was freezing again the next morning. We decided then that we were booking a hotel elsewhere for the third night and leaving, we couldn't take it anymore. The first night we also sent out laundry at 8 pm, and they said it would be ready in 24 hours. At 8pm the laundry was washed, but it was still wet, so they told us we could have it the next day. I threw a fit and demanded the laundry so we could leave, and we had to dry and iron it ourselves. I contacted hotels.com about the heat issue and they called the hotel, who lied about everything and denied that we had no heat.

We stayed at this Hotel for 4 days and I would classify it as a okay place to stay.
Since we had tours almost every day, we would leave before 09:00 and be back after 20:00.
If you are planning on spending more time at the Hotel, check if their SPA facilities are working, because when we went, they were not.
Breakfast is very very good, and the transfer service is available (only at night) works perfectly.
The hotel is a 20/25 min walk from the city center.

The space is nice.The Hot tab (Jacuzzi) was cold. I asked them 3 times to heat it up, they said ok, but they didn't. My room was very cold at morning (about 8-10 degrees celsius). I asked them 3 times to turn the heater on. Again, they said ok, but nothing was done. Therefore,I would not come back.

Staff is super friendly and willing to help at anything one may ask for.
The outside facilities do require some keeping up and could offer more spaces to enjoy the gorgeous views.

Pros:
-Clean
-Nice people
-Big yard
-24-hour coffee/tea self-service
Cons:
-Distant from everything. The hotel is over a mile from downtown, taxis a very scarse and during night there are no lights in the streets, it gets very dark to walk around.
-Very rustic, for example parts of the walls and floor of our room were unfinished (not painted) you could see the pressboard.
-Hot water off & on during shower.
-There's no restaurant on-site, nothing close to buy snacks or food. We heard there's a person who can prepare you an expensive lunch or dinner but when we were there she took time off, so we had no access to any food near by.
-"Heated" pool and "hot" tub are lukewarm/cold-ish.
-There is not air conditioning and the heat doesn't work.
If you are ok with all of the above, you'll be fine. If you are kind of picky, you won't.
In general our stay wasn't horrible but we won't stay there again.
1.5
On the positive, the views and the stars are exceptional as it is outside the town. The intention of the hotel is good but you definitely need a car as it is a good 20 minute walk from the centre with no lighting and a number of dogs on route. Take torches. The staff tried to be helpful and saw that we were disappointed with our room conditions and the noise of the dogs and adjacent car park, but could not change the room as the hotel was full. Unfortunately the rooms outside the main building had paper-thin walls and the dogs barked on and off all night - so it was not easy to sleep. I think that the prior reviews had been very “kind” but maybe they had one of the few rooms in the main building.

The hotel isn't so well looked after which is a pity. The bed was nice but the room wasn't in great shape either.
What really annoyed us was being charged for minor things (1 bowl of cereal) when the hotel failed to give us a breakfast box twice as requested given our early tours.
Also It's outside the centre (20 Min walk ) so not very convenient

Nice hotel, much above the level of what you usually find in that price range in San Pedro. Nice breakfast. The outdoor hot tub was amazing. The wooden pads on the trails inside the garden are broken in some places - so keep an eye when walking. Also, there were lots of mosquito, make sure to ask staff for an electric device to kill them. We had a car so the 2km distance to the center of San Pedro was not a big deal.

The whole place is totally rundown. Dogs barking all night. No hot water in shower for the whole of our stay. We were woken up by owner knocking on our door at midnight to get us to move our car to let him out when he could have asked much earlier and it’s because they have limited space.
Tiny swimming pool empty, so called fire pit full of cigarette butts. Whole construction made of bits of plywood and random other bits of wood.
Breakfast dreadful, nothing cooked, kitchen always closed.
Place is really hard to find but look for the car dump and it’s just behind it!
Can’t waste any more time writing about this place other than to say DON’T STAY HERE!

Disappointed as two reasons we booked the place was it had a pool and staff multilingual. The pool was closed most of the time and not one staff member spoke English. No information in rooms re facilities.

Comfortable, clean and peaceful accommodation - outside town so you will need a car or bike but they provide lunch and dinner too so not necessary to go to town if you are out on tours. Just book meals in advance !

Great overall experience; staff were great and rooms were spacious and clean. Just be aware that there's no AC (fans were sufficient though) and it takes some effort to get into town (25 minute walk or shuttles with a somewhat limited schedule)

Nothing fancy but big & comfortable room. Nice bathroom.
Other rooms seemed not as nice & much smaller ( guess we were lucky!)
Small place so you almost feel you have the place to youself.
Staff nice.
Place very hard to find: do not get there after sundown!!!
May be a problem if you do not have a car.

Fantastic place slightly out of town but this meanS it's relaxed and not troubled by noise and crowds. Facilities are good and includes bikes and transport into town. It's the second time I've been here and I love it.

Amazing place! Beautiful grounds, great view of the volcano and comfortable room with the biggest bathroom I've ever seen. It's quite far out of town, which is only a problem in the heat of the day, but they laid on taxis which was great for getting in and out of town for dinner. Little English spoken, which is a common feature of Chile, but I suppose that means I should learn the local language! Really lovely place, would definitely recommend.

Juanita, our hostess, was very nice with us, as we were there on our honeymoon she even invited us to a bottle of champagne! The place is clean, food is good and the staff very helpful. Only problem is that it is not very closed to San Pedro's center (about 20-25 min walk, 10 mins bike).

You have to ask staff to turn valve with hot water.

This is an adobe ranch style resort. There are two types of rooms here - some which appear to be original, relatively well built cabanas and with reasonable San Pedro style insulation, whereas other rooms appear to be added on with cheaper construction. Given the bright sunny days and cold nights, this can be a factor and suggest requesting one of the better built/insulated rooms. We stayed in both types. Beds were fantastic in all rooms with what appears to be newer memory foam mattresses. Blankets, comforters and towels were quite impressive, as was the supply of various toiletries. Rooms are fairly spacious and there are a lot of garden areas (this is a desert area with controlled water supply, so think desert vegetation).
The hotel was very quiet. Great wi-fi in all rooms. Good breakfast with fresh fruit, good coffee, fresh fruit juice and optional whole grain bread, as well as the usual jamon y queso, and eggs upon request. All of the staff were very welcoming, informative and accommodating. The hotel pets are also very friendly.
