“Overpriced, poor service and dirty, dark rooms, too far from the centre of town”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 December 2010

I was very disappointed with this hotel. It was a good 15/20 minutes from the main street, along dark roads which felt a bit unsafe at night. There were hardly any guests, and my room was dark and dusty, with rickety beds and a dirty bathroom which had no towels on arrival. The pool faced the driveway and car park, so it didn't feel at all secluded which discouraged me from sunbathing. The internet was broken so I had to resort to using the expensive internet cafes in town. The staff had little understanding of English and were generally not helpful, and I was not made to feel welcome when I arrived. I thought that this hotel was very overpriced and wish I had stayed at Terrantai and Kimal which are actually central.

“Excellent hotel and swimming pool”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 March 2010

The hotels in the town are generally expensive and basic, this is because obviously is a remote place in the middle of the dessert. This particular hotel gives you something else, it is much more comfortable than others (design rooms) and spectacular swimming pool by the bar, very conveniente in the dessert.

The staff is fantastic, very atentive and would help you with any matter. It is a small hotel (only 12 rooms) and therefore they are always there to help. The building and installations are very well decorated, dessert-style. Breakfast is good for what is available in the area. The free internet is a real plus, although it does not work very fast.

“Not worth staying there”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 May 2009

Though we were the only guests we got no service at all and in the end we found out that they had taken a lot of our property. We called from Santiago and asked them to send the missing items to our friends there, but they could not even remember us the day after we had left. Several calls - also in Spanish - remained without success.

“Dirty, overcharged, misled.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 April 2009

I reserved this hotel, LA ALDEA, for my parents to stay in for two nights when visiting from Canada. We arrived to find the room to be dirty, the sheets stained, and the pool closed because it was too dirty. We decided not to stay. We were assured by the reception staff that my parents' credit card would be refunded. Not only did they not refund their card, but they charged my parents double the quoted price. We have been fighting to get their money back ever since. I would not be advertising this hotel and would certainly not recommend it to anybody. They have lied, stolen, and misled us for months. Not only this, but the hotel itself is poorly cleaned, and certainly not worth $180.00 US a night.

I strongly suggest you not support this business. I will certainly tell anyone I know in Canada about my experience with them.
