Guest Reviews
- Patricio (2/5): - Expedia shall regulate more these offerings . Limited heating and and healthy using kerosene inside the rooms . Total lack of service if you arrive after 8 pm. No towels and no WIFI in an area with very low internet celular service
- Manuel (2/5): NO VAYAN, publicidad engañosa y mala atención - NO VAYAN, no es un hotel 4 estrellas se acerca mas a un hostal de segunda, publicidad engañosa el embalse no tiene agua hace 5 años, no cumple con lo que promete el anuncio, no hay vista prometida, no hay servicio de hotel, no funciona la tinaja, el vehiculo lo tuvimos que dejar en la calle, mala recepción, sin seguridad, una escalera que no es apta para niños, personas mayores o con algun problema físico, los cubos (habitación) sin ventilecion y un olor insoportable, sin lugar para dejar bolsos o maletas baño diminuto y para coronar nuestra estadia el dia de salida comenzaron a molestar y presionar a las 9:00 AM y a las 10:30, Veronica me llamo para presionar mi salida siendo el check out a las 11:00 indicando que las mucamas estaban esperando para limpiar y eramos los unicos en el lugar, mala y una experiencia desagradable en todos los aspectos, NO VAYAN.
- Andrea (10/5): - Exactly what we wanted - room for a group, private outdoor area, a beautiful view, and charming hosts
- Marcelo (4/5): Pésimo el hotel, no fue para nada grato hospedarse - Publicidad engañosa, el lugar no es como se muestra en Internet, hay que dejar el auto afuera (en la calle), no tiene estacionamiento privado como me habían dicho, es muy complicado llevar y traer las cosas entre el auto y el cubo, ya que hay que recorrer un tramo largo y subir y bajar escaleras muy peligrosas, en el cubo no hay aire acondicionado, tanto en el día como en la noche es muy caluroso, en la noche no pudimos dormir bien por el calor y los zancudos (muchos) que andaban. La relación precio calidad es pésima, por ningún motivo lo recomiendo
- Rosemarie (8/5): Experiencia en un no hotel - Fue una experiencia distinta. No era facil de encontar personas de la administración. Como recomendación a quienes vayan al lugar. Lleven Raid para arañas y mata zancudos. Ya que al mover almohadas salieron un par de arañas. Revisen las camas por seguridad. Como es un espacio muy reducido quedan las camas pegadas a los muros. Por lo demas es un lugar muy tranquilo y con buen ambiente entre huespedes.
- sergio (8/5): - muy buena disposición del administrador, siempre disponible a solucionar y responder
- Luis (10/5): hotel Puclaro Genial - muy buena experencia todo para descansar y desconectarse
- Francisco (10/5): Extraordinario Lugar! - Muy buena experiencia! un lugar acogedor y vista privilegiada al embalse. Nos encantaron los Cubos y áreas comunes como la piscina, quincho, hot tub. También las noches entretenidas, en un espacio mágico con la exquisita comida de su Food Truck. Atención atención excepcional de Verónica y Carolina. Un lugar ideal para los amantes del windsurf. Absolutamente recomendable!
- María José (10/5): Excelente lugar! - Excelente ubicación, atención y preocupación de sus dueñas ideal para ir a desconectarse nos encantaron los cubos, vista directa al embalse y en la noche el silencio y las estrellas que veíamos desde la ventana cenital del cubo le dan un toque muy mágico que solo se vive en Puclaro. Áreas comunes limpias, ordenadas y todo mantenido muy bien. Absolutamente recomendable y visitable en una nueva ocasión!
- Ricardo (10/5): Estacionamiento gratis (condicional) - Muy buen lugar , al lado de la playa y contiguo a bares y restorantes. Estacionamiento gratis dice …pero son limitados si no hay cupo cuando llegues y deberás quedarte estacionado afuera. (Al menos yo lo dejé afuera y no pasó nada)
- Crisstina (10/5): - Genial magico hermosos todo es una experiencia de desconecion lo ame
- Pablo (10/5): Fantastico!! - Excelente experiencia, definitivamente un lugar magico, ideal para desconectar y recargar energías y Veronica su anfitriona muy amable, empatica, 100% recomendables.
- Romelio (8/5): - El lugar es lindo, tranquilo y sencillo
- Nicole (10/5): Nicole - Genial!!!! Muy atentos y las cabañas muy cómodas
- Johan (10/5): Highly recommended! - Beautiful and clean! Slept like a baby. It was offseason and I was the only one there so I can only speak for the room which comes highly recommended.
- Jordi (6/5): Great location for fans of SUP, kite-wind Surfers - Let’s put the positives first: there couldn’t be a more jovial, positively minded staff with enormous desire to be helpful. The location is fabulous for SUP, kite and wind surfing fans, since the lake’s surface always stays flat, without a ripple. SUP fans have the ideal conditions in the morning hours, with the constant western wind will come up in the afternoon to the delight of surfers. We are a “mature” couple and albeit we enjoyed the frat atmosphere, we missed a more ample room where we could walk without tripping over our suitcases, or a bathroom with sufficient room to sit down... There’s no restaurant, or anything close to it. There’s communal kitchen, communal refrigerator, communal grill, etc. you are absolutely and completely on your own. Must add that the current management making a sincere effort to improve the conditions. They provide astronomical sessions for the guests, beer tasting, etc. great folks. One last observation: there’s no elevator, but a steep, rocky stairs for you to negotiate with your suitcases.
- Tamar (10/5): Wonderful Place to Relax and Have Fun! - We stayed at the Hotel Puclaro during our recent trip to Chile to view the eclipse, and had the best time! The hotel is situated in a gorgeous, natural area, and though we are not windsurfers (we can imagine how fabulous this hotel would be if we were) we loved how connected to the outdoors this hotel is. The rooms (called "cubes") are small like advertised but they were big enough for the two of us, and very clean and comfortable with excellent mattresses, luxurious pillows, 100% cotton sheets and gorgeous views of the lake below. We used the shared kitchen which was well organized and fully stocked with basics like coffee, tea, salt, oil, sugar, etc. and enjoyed connecting with other guests in the common areas. We also loved sitting in the hot tub at night and staring at the Milky Way and Southern Cross above. What a treat! The hotel was run by a lovely couple who made sure we had everything we needed, and we are grateful to them for providing us with such a comfortable and memorable stay during our trip. We definitely recommend this hotel if you are looking for an experience that gives you indoor comfort with full connection to the great outdoors. It's a great place to "get away from it all."
- Adam (10/5): Fantastic stay in the Elqui Valley - Amazing stay at hotel puclaro. This is a gem hidden near the best lake of chile to kite surf. The rooms are super cute, clean and have everything that you need. The vibe is awesome and staff super helpful. We wish we could have stayed longer.
- Nia (8/5): Lovely views - Lovely stay, shame it was only one night. Great hot tub also. Will come again.
- Joan (10/5): Incredible amazing views!! - We happened upon this Gem of a location!! It sits on the side of a mountain with views of a most amazing Reservoir. You can lay on your bed and watch the kite surfers! The rooms are tiny but very clean. They are meant for only sleeping or resting. There is a delightful kitchen to prepare your own meals with a refrigerator and stove in a common kitchen. We are not kite surfers but they are wonderful to watch! Vicuna, Pisco, and vineyards are nestled in most valleys. The night sky and observatories are a must visit although happen late night early morning hours. Valle de Elqui is a beautiful place, Hotel Puclaro is a compliment to the area!!!! Never had a better view from my room!!!
