Perfect way to end a month long trip to South America. We found the location magical, the lodging fantastic and the food and drink wonderful but they were no match for the staff. Impossible you say? Try spending time at Cliffs Preserve and you'll understand. Jim, the General Manager, has assembled and trained a staff second to none. Within hours... More

We stayed here at the end of our two week trip in Chile, where we visited the wine country, the lake district, and the magnificent southern national parks. Couldn't think of a better way to put an exclamation point on a vacation. The Cliffs is indeed a preserve -- a special oceanfront slice of our planet protected from development (with... More

First there is the place, unspoilt nature in its purest form, the pacific ocean, the trails. Then they are these wonderful people with all their caring and authenticity. There are excursion to remember the place as a succession of experience thanks to passionate guides. We shouldnt the wonderfull food thanks to an amazing cook and the wonderfull drinks thanks to...

My husband and I stayed at Cliffs Preserve for 4 nights for our honeymoon in March. Everything was incredible. In retrospect, I would have had a smaller wedding and instead spent more time here! I have never posted comments on this before, but I was heartbroken to see the terrible review below coming up as the top review for this... More

Beware of this place. We just spent 4 days here. May I first say we are experienced travelers and have stayed at over 75 lodges and resorts in the US,Canada,New Zealand and Africa over the past 10 years most are higher end establishments. I think we have a good overview of the sector. We also LOVE Relais Chateau properties and... More

For years I have been thinking about taking a very special and unique Father-Daughter trip with my 83 year old father. Both my Dad and I enjoy new experiences, travel, the beauty of the land and meeting new and friendly people. I thought about a cruise but settled on a trip to a country we knew little about- Chili, South... More

My family and I have visited many places in North America, Europe, Asia and South America. The Cliffs Preserve is absolutely among the very best we have ever visited. Other reviewers aptly described the site and the villas and the gardens and the food and the scenery and the facilities. We were even more taken by the marvelous staff. Our... More

We stayed at the Cliffs Preserve last February and this review is long overdue. We stayed here for a few days as a part of a week-long trip to Chile that included stops in Santiago, the Atacama desert, and the wine country. This hotel doesn't really advertise much as it is the fishing retreat for a wealthy real estate developer... More

We were lucky enough to visit Shamwari Game Reserve in Port Elizabeth, South Africa and never thought we'd see another property as beautiful until we arrived here. The property is very isolated in an area that looks like Big Sur in California. From the moment Louis served us one of his fantastic concoctions (a real master in the bar) we... More
