El lugar hermoso y el staff muy amable, el mayor problema fue que al quedar tan lejos de todos los lugares necesitarás alguna forma de transportar por ti mismo si o si, otra cosa fue que nuestra habitación estaba muy lejos del lobby y siempre tocaba caminar mucho en una cuesta un poco difícil con maletas.

The domes were beautiful, and we enjoyed opening the top to see the stars at night from bed. Breakfast was delicious and the staff during breakfast was very attentive. It would be nice to offer two bottles of water for the first night as a courtesy as the hotel is far from the city. (They apparently had a tank of filtered water in the lobby, but we didn't see that until the morning.) We were also a bit disappointed that the first night they didn't shut off the lights illuminating the domes, since that really hampered our view of the stars. After we requested it, they did turn the lights off the second night, but it was mostly cloudy that night anyway. Overall, it was fun staying here, but one would expect a slightly higher level of service for the price.

Too many stairs for us old folks!!
Staff member "Luiz" was incredibly helpful. However, too many rough and uneven steps for seniors, especially up to the newer Observation Rooms. Probably a better location for campers than regular vacationers. Rooms have good night time views of stars, but they are in need of maintenance and a fresh coat of paint.

Nice Hotel - Amazing if the Night is Clear!
Overall a really nice hotel. A few downsides - the wifi barely works in some of the rooms (especially the observatories) and I didn't have hot water in my room (but I also never told them about it). The skylight is amazing - although I was sadly there for only 1 night and it was really cloudy. It is a bit hard to open/close it in the observatories, but it's worth it. The breakfast was amazing and the hotel is really beautifully done and very laid back. They can book you horseback riding nearby among other things. I would definitely return - I can just imagine what an amazing experience it would be if I had been there on a clear night.

Unique experience in a wonderful valley
We stayed in the domes, and found our time extremely relaxing. The domes were clean and comfortable and a unique experience. Breakfast was modest but adequate (cereal, eggs, yoghurt and bread rolls). The pool area was well-kept and very peaceful. The star gazing was phenomenal and the astro tour was well worth the cost.

Amazing experience - will definitely return.
You can either rent a car or take a bus from La Serena, but if you drive note that the roads are very hilly and swerve a lot. The pueblo is incredibly scenic and while food is pricey, the rooms are very clean and the view is breathtaking. I think the only improvement for the cabins is having a screen on the sliding glass door/window because it can get stuffy inside and opening the sliding glass causes a lot of bugs to come in. I would definitely come back though as it was incredibly peachy and beautiful.

romantic night under the stars
Amazing! The domes are much more spacious than anticipated and the views are exceptional. Private balcony with shadings is a nice feature as it gets really hot during the day. And at night, just pop the top of the pod open and sleep under the stars...just magical!

Great place to see the stars
We stayed in the observatory room/cabin, not the domes. They were very comfortable with a fabulous view from the bed with the large windows overhead. It is a terraced walk up to the rooms and bringing luggage up will be a challenge especially if you are not spry. We had the dinner prepared at the hotel which was nothing exotic, but reasonably priced. The folks at the front desk were very nice and friendly, but bring your espanol with you.

Very special stay in a fantastic area
We had a very special stay in one of the domos. To reach the hotel you have to go through the Elqui Valley, around 100km east of La Serena. This drive is breathtakingly spectacular. NOTE: Google Maps directed us to the South of Santiago! The facilities of the domos are OK, not great. For example the privacy could better, there are no curtains. Breakfast was good! Staff was nice, but did not speak English.

BAD EXPERIENCE, POOR CUSTOMERS SERVICE. I quickly booked this accommodation which I found while looking for glamping in the Atacama Desert. Unfortunately the location indicated did not work. After contacting the accommodation for directions, they told me it was not in the Atacama Desert. It was located in another location 9 hours away from me, so I asked to cancel, be 24 hours in advance and refused to help me, the person in charge of customer service at the hotel treated me as tiring and told me that I had to cancel 5 days before, which was impossible since I had reserved this accommodation 48 hours before. So I lost my money and I was insulted by the hotel/campsite. I therefore advise you not to encourage this place which has no respect for these customers.
