I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and offered a lovely view of the lake, situated in a more peaceful area at the back of the hotel. The rooms were well-equipped, comfortable, and had a quirky addition of a spa facility and a great pool. However, the dining options were a bit uninspiring, suited more to those with a sweet tooth, and the service could have been more attentive and helpful.

The hotel offers lovely, spacious rooms with a quirky spa facility and a good length pool, boasting an amazing view. The rooms were clean and comfortable, though the decor seemed outdated. The service was friendly and helpful, with bilingual staff. The location, while on a hill overlooking El Calafate, offers regular shuttle service. The dining options, while adequate, could be more varied. The facilities provided were satisfactory.

The hotel offers lovely, spacious rooms with a quite decent spa facility and good length pool. The rooms were clean, with an amazing view, sitting area, and really comfortable bed. However, it seems they have not been refurbished in 20 years. The service was friendly and accommodating, with the staff volunteering to confirm tour arrangements. The location, though making it worthwhile, was considered overpriced by some and of poor quality.
