Hotel Apacheta

We loved the Hotel Apacheta. The location, right on the water, was stunning. It was so lovely to relax on our balcony and watch the waves come in. The food in the restaurant was really good and it was a fabulous place to sit and watch the sun set over the water. A very peaceful spot!

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.

I'm probably being generous with this rating but I really liked this hotel. The rooms are slightly rustic but really tastefully done. Even though the room feels slightly weathered by the proximity to the sea, it adds to its attractiveness. The hotel is outside town so not too much in the area but the walk along the adjoining beachfront is very pleasant. Very good evening meal and breakfast and they have a bar service. The restaurant area outside is great for breakfast. The seagulls are very noisy but they go elsewhere when the sun sets so you can get a good night's sleep. Would happily have stayed here for an extra day or two.

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

It’s almost as perfect as you could imagine, with one big but. We spent three idyllic days here, reading and watching the ocean including seals and hundreds of birds. The rooms are on two levels, each with a private balcony, literally 20m from the water, give or take a few meters depending on whether the tide is in or out. There’s a swimming pool - it’s the ocean! But they’ve built a little wall around it for protection . The water is pretty cold. You can’t swim when the tide is out for obvious reasons! Our room was delightful - quite rustic in character. Very comfortable bed, a powerful shower and lots of shelves to put things. There are several very pleasant communal areas with self service tea and coffee, books and magazines. The restaurant is lovely. It’s partially open air and you’ll need a cardigan as it’s chilly when there’s an onshore wind. Food and service were both good. Top tip - if you want to eat there in the evening you need to book and pre-order. They give you copious amounts of information but we must have missed this detail. They kindly accommodated us but understandably we had to wait until everyone else had been served and we had no choice - fair enough. Breakfast was very pleasant too. Reception staff are very welcoming, helpful and speak excellent English. So far all perfect. However, we asked reception to book us a taxi to the airport. It never turned up. Luckily Uber is very reliable and even better we caught our flight. I had already written this review and had given 5*. Rather than making this complaint public we sent a WhatsApp to the hotel but they never responded. A simple apology would have been enough. Hence a public comment and only 4 star.

It’s as wonderful as you might hope. We spent three idyllic days here, reading and watching the ocean including seals and hundreds of birds.

Reception staff are very welcoming, helpful and speak excellent English. Sunset drinkipoos and going to sleep to the sound of the roaring ocean were magical. It’s the sort of place you never want to leave. In fact if you decide to book we may still be here.
