Hotel Apacheta

The rooms have such a nice view, it almost makes you oversee the many updates needed. I stay in 2 different room on 2 different occasions and can say that all rooms appear to be the same. The sunset view is out of this world and the staff I dealt with were amazing! Some spoke excellent English and others did their best and we made it work. Having said that, the rooms need help. The sinks were cracked, the floors needed refinishing, the bathroom lights were popping off, there was rust all over. Would I stay here again, yes absolutely, but don’t let the online photos fool you. The restaurant had amazing food and I had the best mojito of my life (passion fruit mojito).

Beautiful location in a peaceful area. Walkable to the city centre. Very nice promenade walk to the lighthouse and back. Simple, comfortable rooms with amazing views of the ocean. Very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent breakfast. Some of the nicest food we ate in Chile. Good value for money.

This place is very special. We agree entirely re: the need for a refresh, especially in the rooms but it is otherwise incredible. A shoutout to Franco who goes above and beyond. Meals are great and the views are out of this world. It was hard to leave. It is hard to explain that even with the need for refreshing this place is one of our top favorites.

A very special hotel, just on the beach. All wood structure. Nice breakfast. We highly recommended it. We just came for one evening before our Atacama trip but were very impress. We did not expect this kind of hotel in this remote city. The room itself is semple but the view !! wow

What a wonderful hotel. I booked this stay for 2 nights to decompress after a busy backpacking trip around Chile. It is incredibly clean, peaceful and so unique. I enjoyed sitting on my balcony or in the communal areas all day...just admiring the waves, the locals playing around the reefs, and the occasional pup rolling around in the sand. When I first booked I wasn't sure if I'd be able to swim because it all seems pretty rocky & with lots of waves...turns out there's a perfect little cove which almost feels like the hotels private pool. It was perfect for some cooling down after sunbathing. The free breakfast was plenty. I only had 1 dinner there and it was delicious. The location is a bit far from the main area if you don't have a car...about 30min walking. I only went once to stock up on supplies and didn't have to go back. There are a few great restaurants along the coast that are less than 10 minutes away if you're just looking for a nice dinner out or sunset cocktail - though in my opinion, your balcony with a nice glass of wine is the best location for sunset viewing. My one suggestion is to add a fan to the room. It was HOT in there...and there's no window top open, just the full balcony door so I didn't want that open all night. Wonderful stay...worth the trek up to Arica. :)
