Nayara Alto Atacama

Location superb Staff outstanding, and always willing to go the extra mile. Allowed late check out for no additional fee to use the facilities, so long as we exited our room Offered trips were excellent and value for money

The hotel is gorgeous, situated on a little creek with an awe inspiring backdrop of the Atacama cliffs. It was easy for my wife and I to explore the area by foot and bike (which the hotel loans out). We loved Mars Valley and Devil’s Throat (each about half a day from leaving to returning to hotel/4-5 hours) In the evenings, the tranquility and view of the stars was breathtaking, including our stargazing session with an astronomy expert (kicking myself for forgetting his name). Breakfast was top notch, with a wide variety of foods as well as made to order omelettes, fried eggs, crepes, etc. We got massages from Nilza (and someone else who was also phenomenal, forgetting the name) that were incredibly well done. The spa is so relaxing. Transfers to and from the hotel were seamless, and we got an incredibly thorough tour of Valley of the Moon from Joaquin who was top notch and incredibly knowledgeable (we were stunned he was mostly a driver and not a full time guide!). There are LOADS of excursions each day, so many to choose from an all so enticing. We wish we could have stayed longer than 2 nights - it was so relaxing. One note: be sure to bring cash. The staff is great and well deserving of tips. But there’s no ATM on site (you have to go into town) so we found ourselves short of what we would have like to have tipped a couple times. Don’t miss this first rate property - the location, ambience, and staff are all well worth the trip!

We stayed 4 nights here on B&B basis . We were warmly welcomed and shown around and had explanations to all amenities. The room is large and very comfortable with a terrace. Coffee making machine but unfortunately missing a kettle and tea making facilities which is a shame. The safe is large and the minibar replenished every day . The food was EXCELLENT! There is a very talented chef .every evening the menu changes and the portions are just right so you can have a starter , main and desert without feeling too full . The fresh warm bread with different butter every night . The BBQ night was excellent too . Lunch by pool very good and bar served some great cocktails. The breakfast buffet is amazing with lots of choices and everything fresh. We didn’t do any excursions as we had a car and did our thing . The staff were all very friendly and helpful. There are several pools and one that is heated which is great as it gets cold here . Pool area is a bit run down You can also do a lama feeding but they’re weren’t very cooperative 😂😂 The only negative is that the furniture is very cheap and in some areas a bit run down. The attention to details in the fixtures and areas by the pool is not there . While it didn’t spoil our stay , some may resent paying this price for something that’s not that luxurious. The spa was nice but I’ve seen better The situation is great as outside of SPA so very quiet. A great place with great facilities and amazing food but lacks the attention to detail of similar luxury hotels but as I said didn’t spoil our stay
