There's lots to do and see at the San Alfonso del Mar resort in Chile.

Guests usually don't choose the San Alfonso just as a place to "crash' for the night. It's an all-inclusive destination resort, with an emphasis on water-related activities for adults and children alike.

That giant swimming pool is lake-sized, and activities include:

  • Sailing
  • Kayaking
  • Scuba diving
  • Swimming
  • Ocean navigation
  • Paragliding
The recently added South Bay development includes the SubAqua Café, which is known for its inner aquarium -- the largest in Chile. The aquarium contains more that 60 species of Chilean fish and sea creatures, and can be viewed in full magnitude through a 25-meters-long glass surface. A giant 100-meters-long water chute is also located in this area, along with a heated pool, Jacuzzi with an ocean view, pub, large outdoor terrace and a gym with high-tech equipment.
