Arka Hotel
A Rooftop Pool Six Minutes From Reñaca Beach
About this hotel
Arka Hotel puts a rooftop swimming pool above a lush garden and spacious terrace, six minutes from Reñaca Beach rather than the busier Playa Acapulco strip further south. Family rooms come with free WiFi throughout the property, and a 24-hour front desk and luggage storage keep arrivals and departures straightforward. A buffet breakfast with juice, cheese and fresh fruit starts the day, and a paid airport shuttle covers the roughly hundred and twenty kilometres to Santiago International Airport for guests who'd rather not arrange a separate transfer. The rooftop pool's massage and neck massage services add a small wellness touch to what's otherwise a family-oriented, garden-facing stay near Reñaca's wider, quieter beach further along the coast.

Our take
Arka Hotel combines a rooftop pool, a lush garden and a spacious terrace, and Reñaca Beach is only six minutes away. Massage services give parents a way to rest after a day on the sand, and the buffet breakfast saves the morning search for a café. I recommend it for families and small groups who want a pool and a garden more than a big resort; travellers who want a full spa with an indoor pool and a view over Valparaíso Bay should look at the Sheraton Miramar instead.
- Book the rooftop massage service in advance rather than expecting a same-day slot during the busiest weeks of summer here.
- Use the buffet breakfast's fresh fruit and juice options for an early start before the six-minute walk to Reñaca Beach.
- Arrange the paid airport shuttle ahead of your Santiago International Airport flight rather than booking a separate transfer at the last minute.

Why guests love itArka Hotel puts its swimming pool on the roof, which gives children a place to cool off after the beach, and a lush garden and spacious terrace add outdoor room at ground level. Family rooms are available, Reñaca Beach is six minutes away, and the buffet breakfast with juice, cheese and fresh fruit covers picky eaters. A 24-hour front desk and luggage storage help on arrival and departure days. With a 9.0 score from 64 reviews, I would book a family room here.
