Hotel Apacheta

The setting is wonderful, perched at the edge of Lisera beach where you can witness the sunset and enjoy sounds of the breakers. The building has a modernist look with many wood finishes. No air conditioning but always an ocean breeze.

The sea watch and the experience with nature around hotel (birds and sea fauna)

Calm, friendly, nice landscape in front of the sea, kind staff (and no music ). super place !

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

What a wonderful hotel. I booked this stay for 2 nights to decompress after a busy backpacking trip around Chile. It is incredibly clean, peaceful and so unique. I enjoyed sitting on my balcony or in the communal areas all day...just admiring the waves, the locals playing around the reefs, and the occasional pup rolling around in the sand. When I first booked I wasn't sure if I'd be able to swim because it all seems pretty rocky & with lots of waves...turns out there's a perfect little cove which almost feels like the hotels private pool. It was perfect for some cooling down after sunbathing. The free breakfast was plenty. I only had 1 dinner there and it was delicious. The location is a bit far from the main area if you don't have a car...about 30min walking. I only went once to stock up on supplies and didn't have to go back. There are a few great restaurants along the coast that are less than 10 minutes away if you're just looking for a nice dinner out or sunset cocktail - though in my opinion, your balcony with a nice glass of wine is the best location for sunset viewing. My one suggestion is to add a fan to the room. It was HOT in there...and there's no window top open, just the full balcony door so I didn't want that open all night. Wonderful stay...worth the trek up to Arica. :)

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.

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.

I've never slept in a room so close to the sea, we could hear the waves all night and smell the salty air from our beds. Wonderful location, lovely spacious rooms with an eye to sustainability. We had breakfast outside on a deck, once again overlooking the sea - lovely! The staff were very helpful and kind. We were only in transit to the border with Peru, shame, would have loved to have stayed longer!

We were staying at the hotel for few nights with our small baby. Jessica, Jolanda, Alejandro and the rest of the team were so kind to us. We were feeling totally taking care of. After our hard trip to the mountains Jessica organized for Niko a baby bathtub. We are traveling in Chile since two months and it was the first time that someone thought about it. Thank You so much! Breakfast was great (especially yogurt and fried eggs) and the views of course. I hope that we will be back when our baby will grow up. Emilia & Damian
