There was a hidden tax charge of the room. That was not informed anywhere. The receptionist stated that if you pay in CLP we did not have to pay the tax, we asked to pay in CLP but then still added the extra tax. The bar was a fridge with wine and beers. We were not told about the facilities of the hotel had to find out by ourselves. Very disappointing

Absolutely loved it. The most gorgeous sunsets from the room. Incredibly peaceful. A private little beach right in the backyard. Such amazing dinner and breakfast service. Franco was beyond awesome - as were all of the other staff. 10/10 would recommend and 10/10 hope to be back soon. Thank you for having us!

The hotel boasts a stunning appearance, yet the service fell short of expectations considering the price point. Upon my early arrival at 8 a.m. – a common occurrence due to fluctuating flight times – I received no orientation regarding hotel amenities, including the necessity of dinner reservations. Moreover, a Wi-Fi outage compounded the issue, with no contingency plan communicated. When seeking local information, I was merely provided with a phone number, lacking any helpful guidance. It’s worth noting that dinner reservations are a requirement, a detail overlooked one day due to lack of network during a tour. Despite a request for assistance before departing for an 11-hour bus ride, the hotel declined to provide even a basic meal. Lastly, there was a discrepancy between Expedia’s quoted rate of approximately $340 for three nights and the higher amount charged upon settlement at the hotel.

We love birds so this was a paradise, right on the ocean and hundreds of sea and shore birds right out on the rocks at the water. This area would be perfect with a car as it is a bit far from the main part of town (although we appreciated this for relaxation and did just fine using Uber). Staff were very friendly. The sunsets could not be better.

Sea-front hotel

A sustainable small hotel (18 rooms) on the sea front, this hotel benefits from being far enough away from the city centre to avoid any hubbub and busy-ness, while being no more than a short (15-25 minute) walk away from the main square and most of the restaurants.
The waves will (if that's your thing) both soothe you to sleep and wake you up, and the sea birds - gulls and pelicans, plus the odd vulture - will help you get out of bed in the morning.

All rooms have a sea view; the hotel itself has a small, somewhat gravelly beach section, but you're only a few minutes walk from a couple of official, sandier beaches.
The sustainable side of things mostly comes in the form of recommendations - limit how much water you use (Arica is one of, if not THE, driest city in the world); put your toilet paper in the bin, rather than the toilet - but these aren't hard to abide by. Your room gets a daily jug of potable water.
The relaxed vibe of the hotel matches how the town itself has a remarkably laid-back feel, so you could probably spend as many days as you wanted to here. Alongside everything else, English is spoken widely by the staff, so it's refreshingly simple to make your needs known.

Luxury property at a steal price

What an absolute pleasure! I’m not one to write reviews but in this case an exception needs to be made. For the experience we had I would have been happy to have paid north of $300 USD a night. At $100 I feel like I’m taking advantage of someone’s generosity. The hotel property is stunning with an unreal view. The rooms are practically directly over the ocean. Meticulously appointed eco-hotel. The icing on the cake is the breakfast included in the price of a room. Fresh ground coffee served in a French press with pressed juice, eggs and ham and cheese sandwich, guacamole, more toast, jam etc.... Everytykgn beautifully presented and served at the lobby restaurant which sits right on the oceanfront. Having seen and been inside the other typical cookie cutter concrete block hotels on the more densely populated strip of Arica I can see this is without a doubt the best hotel in Arica. Anyone who has written a bad review of this hotel is the kind of person who enjoys microwaveable meals in front of the TV. Thanks Hein and the rest of the Apacheta staff that made our stay a truely memorable one!

El hotel es bonito estéticamente, la habitación acogedora, limpia, con una vista hermosa en el balcón y la cama amplia.
El único inconveniente que tuvimos es que en la madrugada se escuchaba musica fuerte afuera (desconozco si fué alguien que se quedó al frente del hotel escuchando musica o algo)pero interrumpió el descanso.
Es algo mas ajeno ya que podría ser algo de mucho mas lejos, pero es lo único a punto negativo que tuve en mi experiencia.
Lobby y personal muy amable, y desayuno rico.

Hotel com vista extraordinária do pacífico. Limpeza deixou a desejar no banheiro, como respingos de pasta de dente na bancada/pia e alguns poucos cabelos. Equipe com atendimento dentro da média de forma geral, salvo exceção a recepção que estava na manhã do checkout que foi além da média, com sua gentileza e atenção. Café da manhã estava gostoso e bem servido. Os quartos são confortáveis e espaçosos, mas peçam no quesito acústico (barulho de motos e carros passando no decorrer da noite/madrugada).
