Avoid by all means

Reviewed By 2souz

Our stay at Apart Hotel & Cabanas Vegasur in La Serena was terrible from start to finish. First they tried to make us (Europeans) pay for the VAT for lodging, then it took forever to finalize the registration. The apartment itself was very small and the bathroom very dirty. And to finish off, an expensive jewelry item “went lost“ and mysteriously reappeared two days after, but only after we filed a complaint with the PDI (surveillance tapes don’t lie)! I’d definitely avoid this place!!

Close to the beach but careless staff

Reviewed By ronfrang

We stayed here a couple of nights for a quick vacation getaway. We had asked about dairy free options for food allergies and the staff assured us they could accommodate the changes. The first night we ate at the restaurant they had put butter on the bread even though we asked a few times and they assured us it would just be plain bread. Then when we pointed out the butter the waitress said “oh, solo es un poquito” - meaning “oh, it’s just a little bit”. LOL then we asked for tea and they brought us a pot but no tea and we had to remind our waitress. The restaurant wasn’t packed, the waitress was just very forgetful and careless. Then we ate breakfast the next day and one worker named Cristobal was the only one who was willing to help us if we needed anything- he even went out of his way to see if they would serve us anything different as the breakfast was very dairy packed. Despite his efforts to help us which we appreciate very much, his manager said that they shouldn’t have to accommodate us and that he should not have helped us out with some “palta” “avocado” for breakfast. This is absolutely ridiculous. I applaud the worker for trying and for accommodating a very minor addition, and I do not appreciate the manager scolding him for being hospitable- this is what a hotel is for ... hospitality. We also had another issue with the steps being very wet going up to the elevator. My husband fell and a housekeeper saw him and just kept going, did not even stop to see if he was okay. I was carrying my two year old and am 7 months pregnant so that couldn’t have been me and when we brought it to the attention of the front desk that a sign should be placed, they acted nonchalant about it and like there was nothing wrong with what happened! This was such a frustrating stay, the staff is terrible- (minus the one person I spoke about earlier). No one is hospitable, they don’t care about customer service and should be replaced by workers who care about their jobs and aren’t there to do the bare minimum for a paycheck. Terrible, terrible experience. Outside of the hotel, people are very nice and hospitable. DO NOT STAY HERE- if you are a tourist, find a different place with better hospitality values. I would not recommend this place.

Horrible family experience

Reviewed By Tourist31104859776

Very bad experience for us, as a family. The beds were very uncomfortable, hard. Bathrooms have no ventilation and the room, although it looked clean, had this airborne dust. We left earlier, the person didn’t even ask if there was any problem, he was only worried that we paid all the nights that we booked, which we did of course, but will never come back or recommend.

Positive and Negatives

Reviewed By anawritesreviews

The apartment room was dirty. Don't expect anything to look new, good quality, or even clean. And unfortunately our apartment had a lot of ants in the kitchen. The positive side of this "resort" is the pool! Gorgeous view and incredible lagoon. Really the only thing that made me not regret the stay.

No water after midnight?

Reviewed By affma

Hotel is close to the beach and from my room I had beach view. Breakfast was really good and the room was spacious and clean. Parking was easy and staff was very nice. However, my rating was lower because I did an astronomy tour and arrived late back and water in the bathroom was out. It was after midnight, I was tired and with pandemic concerns. That did happen in the night before, but I was just going to the bathroom during the night so I forgot about it, but this is unacceptable in a hotel.

Good for a quick stay

Stayed here just one night to catch a bus to Valle de elqui. The rooms are clean, but are somewhat dated. WIFI Internet did not work in our room. The breakfast buffet was pretty good. Great location right across from the beach.
