If you are traveling by car its a lovely place to stay. Great rooms, nice common areas and friendly and helpfull staff.

My wife and I have travelled extensively and we consider Paula to be the best. Dining room staff has smiles and made us feel at home.

I gove the staff an 11 out of 10, they are amazingly helpful with everything.

Great staff and fantastic rooms. Wonderful grounds. Quiet. Superb breakfast. It is a brief drive from the end of San Pedro, 5+ minutes to the turnoff. Then about 2 minutes on unpaved road. But because of that, transportation needed to get to town for restaurants, shops, tours. We had a rental car from calama airport. We found it difficult to navigate the streets of San Pedro by car and parking was not obvious, for meeting up with tour groups. Also the turnoff onto the dirt road was not clearly marked for the last 2 minutes to the lodge. It is at an animal crossing sign. There has been a hotel sign there we were told, but it was not there for us. Signs at the turn and on the dirt road ( go right at the animal crossing, then on the dirt road immediate right and then left) would make this superb hotel even better. After we found it the first time, it was simple. The Maps App wrongly said to park on the highway and walk. The drive on the dirt road was easy in a passenger car once we knew where to go.

Amazing space

Would recommend this facility hands down!!

The staff at Quelana are the most friendly people I’ve met anywhere. They are very accommodating and helpful.

Lodge Quelana is a true oasis in the desert. It’s a lovely, peaceful, well-maintained, small boutique hotel with private cottages. The beautiful rustic-modern architecture and interior design is perfectly suited for its setting. The staff is friendly and helpful. Mariajose, the receptionist for the majority of my stay, went above and beyond the call of duty to help with organizing tours, dinners, and taxis; the personalized service was greatly appreciated. As the hotel is located out of the town center, it is helpful to have a car, since there were occasional delays in getting a taxi. Overall, I highly recommend Lodge Quelana.

Beautiful lodge with delicious breakfast, very friendly staff, nice rooms. I can highly recommend it if you have a car, since it is outside of town.

The staff, specifically the manager, were amazing! Beautiful experience, lovely property and worth the 5 minute drive from town.

This is a lovely retreat. Each room is an individual cabana. The decor in the room was beautiful, and the landscaping of the grounds is wonderful. The staff was extremely gracious. I used this as a base to explore the area for 3 days and it was perfect. I had a rental car and explored on my own without booking any tours. It was easy and safe. A perfect trip. I will do it again soon.

Lodge Quelana is a beautiful place to stay. It's outside if town, so you have the opportunity to see the clear night skies from their observation deck. The rooms are tastefully decorated and the breakfast had a great variety. To get into town, you need to drive, but the peace and quiet is worth it. After all, the town is not why you would come to the area; it's the landscape and the stargazing.

Cannot recommend people to stay here enough, it was fanstatic. Lovely breakfast and staff are so helpful. We loved it!

Pearl in the desert! We can highly recommend to stay at the Quelana . It's a beautiful, super friendly and tranquil oasis in San Pedro de Atacama. The breakfast is outstanding. We would return any minute!

After having passed through San Pedro de Atacama on the way to the property, we were so pleasantly surprised by the contrast that experience provided. The hustle bustle and dust of SPA was left behind for a quiet lush shaded oasis in the desert. The cooing of doves in the trees greeted us to our home for the next five days. The welcome we received from the staff was superb, and that experience stretched across everyone there. Breakfast was a joy every day, greeted with warm smiles and offers of a wide and completely satisfying spread of tasty foods. The room was spotless, private and oh so quiet and peaceful. The location offers easy access to the town, as well as the wider Atacama area. When we return to the Atacama, Quelana will be our first choice for base of operations. Thank you all!

Beautiful lodge just outside San Pedro. Taxis are about £5 and reception will call for you, restaurants are more than happy to arrange a return. It is away from the bustle of San Pedro and very peaceful. Staff are brilliant. We had a standard room, there was sufficient space, it was spotlessly clean, well equipped and well presented, we were very impressed. There is a lovely pool area and each room is self contained with outside seating. Only breakfast is served, this was very good, on other days we ordered the packed breakfast which was always ready for us and enjoyable. We felt well looked after, nothing was too much trouble and the lodge itself is a beautiful place to stay.

Wonderful stay. Beautiful property with fantastic staff. Away from the main town and feels like an Oasis.

This is an oasis from San Pedro. Paula and staff were so kind and helpful it made a great stay perfect. Rooms are spacious and clean with AC which you need here. Pool area was beautiful and breakfast is great!

Great hotel, just outside San Pedro de Atacama - short drive or taxi! Breakfast excellent and staff extremely helpful and friendly. Loved the area …

Immaculate lodge style hotel! Everything is super new and well maintained. Staff very friendly. The included breakfast was delicious, including local touches. Each lodge room is very private, and during our stay the whole atmosphere was very peaceful. I would return 5*
