„The only way to gain access to the famous 1km pool is to stay at this resort where the apartments are privately owned. We embarked on this adventure, not really sure how it would go. It's our understanding that Chileans have holiday apartments here and there are south American agencies that rent them out too. Being from Australia, without access to such an arrangement, we had to do it ourselves, which can be a bit daunting. Hopefully my long summary here will help others.
Ariel, who owns the apartment was very helpful in emails prior to our arrival.
We took a taxi to the resort from the bus station and security staff were a bit concerned about letting us in. Nevertheless, despite enormous language barriers, we all worked it out because I had was able to show the booking.com confirmation which indicated the apartment number, along with the Spanish information page, which Ariel makes available before arrival (we had to use Google translate to make sense of it but that was easy).
The arrangement was to contact the concierge half an hour prior to arrival. As we did not have SIM for our a phone, we simply arranged for the concierge to meet us at check-in time, which was 3pm. As it turned out, a key was left at the concierge desk for us.
The apartment is really comfortable. It's on the ground floor and it is possible to access the rooftop for a view of the area. there is a bathroom and ensuite. The children's room has an elevated single bed and a single bunk bed.
We immediately headed out for a nice walk along the length of the resort. You would only want to go there during summer. We had afternoon tea at Bahia Pub Sur, the pub at the southern end of the resort (which is more of a restaurant than what we would call a pub). We discovered that the water sports on the main pool (called the lagoon) are only for the owners who leave their own kayaks and so on.”
