    The only challenge is the limited number of parking lots at the site which made us a little nervous that we may not have a parking lot.

    Beautiful property conveniently located. The heating system in the room worked very well well and we were kept warm and cosy at night. We also loved the ala carte breakfast. The hotel also went the extra mile by packing breakfast for us on days that we were heading out early in the morning. Such superb service!

    It is a bit expensive for what it is and the pool didn't look very clean but then that's probably because it was too cold and no one was using it.

    The staff were amazing, they were extremely helpful and were able to get us an early (delicious) breakfast as we were leaving early. The hotel is very pretty and the rooms are comforting and unique, but the staff are the stars.

    Everything about this hotel is amazing. Starting from the location - it’s the best possible!!! Why? Because it is in the Main Street of the city (Caracoles Street), but it is in the end of the street, so you don’t have a lot of people walking around the hotel and don’t hear any noises. Also, all the tour companies leave the tourists exactly in front of the hotel after every touristic tour. The staff?? Amazing people, always with smiles on their faces and always ready to help you with whatever you need! Well, don’t even get me started on the room!!! It is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL AND COZY, nice internal space in both the room and bathroom, everything is functional… you have your own control of the room temperature though the heaters and fireplace (a gas one, very nice) and it might seem normal, but many hotels there don’t allow the guests to turn the heat on. The bed is giant and reaaaaaally comfortable, like the pillows as well! I cant find any flaw in the room, honestly. The breakfast was also great! They give you a menu and you choose what you want, how many times you want them, and it is a fast and effective service. Also, if you go out on a tour really early in the morning, you just have to let them know that you want a “breakfast box” and at what time you leave and they make it to you, all included in the hotel. Well, my stay there was absolutely perfect and all I have to do is congratulate all the team there!

    Despite being located on one of the more touristy streets in SPDA, this hotel was a real oasis of calm and serenity. The common areas were comfortable and inviting, and the individual rooms really thoughtfully laid out and outfitted. Bed and linens top notch, and service friendly and proactive. Included breakfast was excellent, and we chose the hotel for 3 out of 4 dinners, relishing in the privacy and quiet it offered compared to the busy downtown.

    We liked everything. There are only two things to note: 1. The houses at the back (we stayed in number 12) are close to a school. It can be loud until the school is over around 15.00. 2. The hotel has no gym therefore bring your own yoga mat if you’d like to stretch after the tours. We bought one from the shops nearby, the hotel had none to borrow.

    This is truly an oasis. An absolute joy to come back from all the tours and explorations. The pool area is very relaxing. The breakfast was tasty. We also enjoyed the restaurant menu and ate there many times. The hotel located at the main parking lot (the end point for most group tours) and at the beginning of the Main Street at San Pedro which makes it really convenient.

    There was nothing we didn't like - but a few very minor areas of improvement for the future: the bathroom window in our room was oddly exposed, so we are pretty sure people walking past could see in! A frosted window would solve this. Also, while we appreciated how clean the room was, we think cleaning two times a day was a bit excessive! Perhaps staff could ask guests if they would like this or if just once a day was enough.

    Exceptional service from the staff - they couldn't do enough for us! The rooms are absolutely beautiful and clean, as is the pool and restaurant area. The hotel really gives off luxury vibes. The location was perfect.

    Hotel Desertica is a very relaxing and peaceful place. The individual round cottages are surrounded by a compact, well designed garden area. The pool in the centre is surrounded by deck chairs as well as tables of the adjacent bar/restaurant. All staff are friendly and very helpful. The location is well placed being at the edge of the very centre of San Pedro.

    Not really downsides, but maybe a little more options for lunch and dinner would be nice. The closet in the room was too small to accomodate both mine and my husband's items.

    The hotel was well located, very beautifully decorated, with the motives of the city. The staff was beyond friendly. Breakfast was delicious, and a la carte. You can order whatever you want, in the quatity you want. Since it is a small hotel, there is no point for a buffet. If you have to leave the hotel before breakfast, they make you a pack so lovely prepared! And tea whenever you want too. The service was the high point of the hotel for me. The room, bed and shower was comfortable.

    This is a beautiful property in a fantastic location right on the main stretch of town. It’s at the far end though and you feel quietly tucked away which allows for quiet rest and relaxation. The rooms are really nice, clean and spacious and the bed was big and comfortable. I was worried when I saw the property didn’t have AC but the rooms stay cool and there is a nice big fan to create a breeze (and doubles as a great white noise machine). The breakfast was great with lots of options and the other meal we ordered for dinner one night was also really good. Great drinks at the bar and the staff is really kind and helpful.

    Nothing at all

    I chose this hotel because the reviews I read were outstanding. The reality is everything they say. The photographs looked incredible. Take a look through the gallery - here again the reality matches the publicity. This gem of a stylish boutique hotel in a small oasis town excels on all points. Firstly the rooms are beautiful. Large comfy bed, beautiful linens, towels and robes. (Hoorah! No TV. You are on an adventure in a remote part of the world.) The bathroom is very stylish and modern. Excellent toiletries. The pool and restaurant areas are wonderful. A mix of ethnic style and comfort. The staff are outstanding. From being welcomed by Gary and looked after by the wonderful restaurant team (special thanks to Freddy!) you really cannot ask for more. Breakfasts are fabulous. The all-day menu is very good too. Location is right at the quiet end of the main street which is teeming with bars, restaurants and travel agencies. And all this is in a small oasis town In the desert. Wow! Don't hesitate. We are avid travellers at the high end of the adventure/expedition segment. This hotel is ‘a find’.

    The room got pretty hot at night without AC but not unbearable. I would imagine this is only an issue for a few months in summer. Some construction was going on so it was pretty loud while lounging at the pool.

    Staff was so friendly and helpful and the location is perfect. Rooms were beautiful and the whole vibe was so special and so beautifully decorated. Every night we got a turn down service and little gift on our beds. Dinner was incredible and cocktails by the pool were convenient and delicious!
