Top Purmamarca Hotel Reviews
Alma de Purmamarca
"La estadía en el hotel fue muy agradable y el equipo humano muy dedicado, el hotel esta aproximadamente a 5 minutos al pueblo y al estar nuevo tiene unas muy buenas condiciones tanto de las habitaciones como de las instalaciones de la propiedad. Es un hotel boutique, por lo que el desayuno se sirve directamente en las habitaciones pero todo el personal siempre esta muy atento a entregarlo en tiempo y forma. Vale la pena visitarlo."
Hotel Huacalera
"Muy buen lugar y equidistante a varias actividades"
Pristine Salinas Grandes Luxury Camp
"This experience is spectacular. The arrangements are easy, the accommodations are luxurious, the environment is breathtaking, the food is gourmet and the staff are wonderful. You’ll also do some activities on the salt flat, and they include a breathtaking stargazing opportunity with professional pictures. There are also thoughtful touches like hot water bottles on your bed in the evening, and there were 2 fireplaces in the room to make sure it stays cosy. It far exceeded our expectations and we couldn’t recommend it more highly."
