You can spend an afternoon exploring the galleries in La Serena Archaeological Museum in La Serena. While you're in the area, stroll along the beaches.
"Staff was good but we encountered major issues having no water for showers and or bathroom after returning from a desert trips, no prior notice not once but two days in a row . Room facing the beach very very noice at night time with traffic and teen kids skating and bikes until well past midnight. "
"I really liked the hotel. It wasn't fancy, but everything worked. The staff were professional and attentive. The room was simple (in a good way), clean, and quiet."
"We enjoyed the staff friendliness and hospitality. It was a great experience, local breakfast alternatives, clean room, central location. We would enjoy visiting again! Highly recommended "
