This hotel is certainly proud to be Chilean: mock moai (Easter Island statues) guard the entrance, the restaurant specializes in regional cuisine, and the simple but well-appointed rooms are accented with traditional weavings and hardwood furniture. Thanks to the outdoor swimming pool and the fact that kids aged under 10 stay free with their parents, it's also a solid family pick.
