Hotel Gavina Costa Mar | Hotel in Iquique, Tarapaca

“Great location on the shore with dining room views of the beach and ocean”

“Nice people .,always help and everything .,”

“Restaurant and pool facilities were great and staff were very helpful. Hotel could do with some upgrading as it was looking poor in areas and in need of some modernisation. Our patio door didn"t lock and the safe was not secured in the wall which was a bit disconcerting. These issues did get resolved... eventually. There was a wedding on Friday night which went onto after 2.30am with loud music and we were in a room facing the pool which had no sound proofing so a terrible sleep. It was the same Saturday and Sunday with party nights... they should let you know before booking that this is going on as I would not have stayed here if i knew of the noise level. When you leave the hotel and turn right it is a lovely beach area but do not turn left as this was awful, sorry. Nothing to see, unclean and didn't feel safe.”

“WiFi doesnt reach all rooms. Staff unhelpful in accommodating. ”

“Location”

“The hotel has one of the most amazing views of the ocean i’ve Ever seen! The hotel itself is slightly worn down but still very clean and the staff very friendly and helpful. We would love to come back and stay someday!”

“I was here on a business trip. I don't think the current reviews really reflect how nice this hotel is. Pros: The location is second to none, absolutely beautiful by the ocean, incredible views and balconies in room. My room was all brand new and updated bathroom. Everything clean and fresh decor. Staff were very nice, breakfast was good with beautiful views and a nice bar. They give you a token for a free welcome drink on check in which was nice. Location is by the old town which is walking distance to beautiful pedestrianised colonial streets and lots of restaurants. Free bikes too.They let us check in early at no extra cost. Cons: Check in was very slow - over 30 mins. It would be nice to have tea/coffee facilities in room. Everything else super - will definitely stay again. Very reasonable room rates. ”

“My girlfriend and I stayed two nights at this hotel. One of the big advantages for those who are driving is the ample parking space due to them having a convention center. The outside pool is somewhat small but located directly overlooking the ocean, therefore great view, but the no one really uses the pool since most people, including ourselves opted to go to the beach which is quite closeby. The hotel has 10 bicycles that you can borrow at no cost which again, is great, the bicycles are in excellent condition and come with a lock. The check-in at the hotel was quite fast and convenient, although there is not a lot of english speaking staff for those who do not speak Spanish. The rooms was really the downside of this hotel. They are somewhat old and dated. On the plus side they are clean, they give you two bottles of water and a welcome drink at check-in (but in Chile this is almost all hotels) and the wifi works quite well. The washroom were again somewhat old, old shower head, a swinging glass to stop the water from going all over the bathroom. Another downside is the walls are paperthin. We could hear everything going on in the hallways and even the music from downstairs (we were on the 7th floor) via the balcony (with the door closed). Overall a good hotel and well-priced, but don't expect a high 4 star hotel, it's more like a low 4 star hotel. ”

“We stayed for 4 days. The staff was friendly and front desk staff could speak English. The view front the balcony was amazing. We spent some time by the outdoor pool.”

“Nice and easy in the best location”
