Punta Arenas Vacation Rentals

"I wanted to love this resort - who doesn't when on vacation? There were just too many little things that added up. First, know that the beach here is not recommended for swimming. Bad rip tides and currents mean that it's really a pool resort, not a beach resort, and they'll let you know this upon check-in. I really appreciate the staff letting us know the water is dangerous, 1000%, but I also wish I'd known this prior to arrival, as I am a beach person and expected a swimming beach at a resort that has Beach in it's name. The pools are very nice and we didn't have much trouble getting chairs near the pool. I will say that people do the annoying and selfish thing of reserving chairs with a towel hours before ever showing up at the pool (happened every day that we were there) and the hotel staff didn't do anything about this. I appreciate resorts that stop this behavior by just grabbing the stuff early so that others don't follow that behavior. The staff was really lovely, though. Always very helpful and attentive. They were truly the best part of the resort. The rooms need updating, the patios/balconys look like something from a cheap apartment complex. Corroded materials and cheap chairs - not resort like at all. There was not much to do at this resort, either. We tried to go play pickleball one day (there's a decent resort fee that you'll have to pay on check out) and they charged us $25/hour per person! So $100 for a court for an hour. When we return to PR it won't be here"

"Kelly and Penny are awesome. SeaGate is very unique. Beautiful location. Would stay here again!"

"I was worried about the boat lines to Palomino Island during Easter Week/Spring Break. I shouldn't have, as they has boats every 30 minutes. Arrive by 11am to get a lounge chair on the island. Otherwise, lounge chairs free back up around 1:30pm or 2pm. Island was great. Hotel was at full capacity. Up top pools were packed, but the water park had space. Great place for families, as evidenced by how many there were. Lots of traveling up and down and up and down. I found the hotel restaurants outrageously expensive - even more than Hawaii. We never ate at the hotel. However, we walked 5 minutes outside the ferry launched and found 5 local restaurants that were more local, including one really local called El Ricar (I think). Definitely try to stay in the Marina area. Overall, there's lots to do and the hotel is huge. But you definitely pay, which adds up via taxes, resort fees and parking ($20US inc taxes). That said, there aren't too many resorts around, so would recommend, but know going in the place is on par with US / California type prices."

"Nicely decorated and clean. However we found the no closet in the room. Parking is limited unless you go across the street."

"It has a great location not fancy but clean"

"Towards the end my ac was not working in one room but 5 stars and i would book again "

"Great location. Easy to find. Community are where showers and bathrooms are convenient and the rooms are super small but they work! It was a great place to stay if you arent needing to hang out at your hotel. Need a place to sit in the quad area or sleep. "

"Amazing pools, room and food. Beautiful resort"

"Cannot say enough about our stay here!! Very friendly staff and easy to get to. The beach was also beautiful on the full moon night we were there. "
