Sierra Gorda Vacation Packages

The hotel is a very nice eco friendly hotel indeed with quite nice amenities. The hotel at times is hard to find given the roads that lead into it aren’t easy to navigate. The staff at times aren’t there at reception but overall quite a good stay indeed for the price and note that the area around the property has no shops so you have to ensure u have a car. The property also has cats and dogs on property which for animal lovers like us is really nice experience too interacting with them.

Super friendly staff, were able to accommodate a quick breakfast for a super early check out!

The only reason I’m giving them 3 stars is because they don’t have a heater inside the rooms and we were freezing. Staff was very helpful but San Pedro is extremely cold to not offer this.

A very special place in the Atacama Desert. Staff was so friendly, property well maintained. Breakfast was delicious.

Beautiful surroundings and facilities, conveniently located in a quiet street but not far from the main shops and restaurants. Staff were very friendly and helpful. A lovely restaurant attached to the hotel. We would have welcomed a better early breakfast provision for guests leaving for early morning excursions.

I didn’t enjoyed my stay at Modular Express, the only thing I liked was the included breakfast and that is near the airport. Rooms are small and noisy, personal has no customer service attitude, prices are really high in their mini market and meals, and only accept card, no cash. When you go to the cafetería, there are other workers that go too, from mining companies I guess.

Hotel Desertica blends a prime location, a stellar team, and refined rooms. Communication via WhatsApp was prompt and invaluable. They recommended great tour agencies ahead of time and even saved me from a travel disaster. When I left my passport in my room safe, staff orchestrated a courier to drive it over an hour away to the Calama airport, getting it to me 30 mins after I arrived! It cost 90,000 CLP in cash—a bargain to save my trip. Truly heroic service. Situated right on Caracoles, the heart of the old town, it’s an easy stroll to restaurants and tour operators. It feels very secure and peaceful; a solid adobe wall blocks street noise, and a front gate closes at 10 PM (guests get keys). As I was in Room 1 near the front, I occasionally heard voices/suitcases, but earplugs easily fix that. The made-to-order breakfast is excellent, far better than a standard buffet. Rooms are unique, yurt-like spaces kept immaculate by twice-daily housekeeping, with plentiful filtered water provided. Constructive feedback for winter (June) travelers: Rooms have no A/C (just a fan); while fine for June, my winter timing didn't reveal if this becomes an issue in summer. The evening heat can be quirky: it was 16.8°C after a late tour and struggled to reach my set 21°C. Improving shower drainage/tiling and adding a hot tub for chilly winter nights would take this hotel from great to outstanding. Highly recommended!
