Hotel has a great view over the lake and mountains. Efficient and reliable shuttle to town center. Spa has 2 heated pools with Mountain View’s. Good massages but limited hours.

Amy United States of America

Attractive. Nice rooms. Good view. Nice free shuttle to and from Calafate city.

Thomas United States of America

The view from the rooms, lobby, and restaurant were fantastic. Rooms were spacious.

Bj United States of America

Good value for the money. Good service from staff. Breakfast was just ok. Fresh fruit was good. Hope you like your eggs runny, maybe that’s a local thing.

James United States of America

Amazing view and facilities. The staff was extremely friendly and polite. Very effective.

Irupe Ireland

Beds are super comfy, good facilities, lovely pool and great view.

Louise Switzerland

This doesn’t look quite so promising from the road, more like a barracks but this is a lovely hotel, with fantastic panoramic views over the lake and river mouth especially at night. The rooms are lovely, spacious, well equipped and comfortable, with a quite decent if not quirky add on spa facility and good length pool. The restaurant was very good and packed lunches are available , all at very reasonable prices for the area. It is out on the hill at the top end of town so very convenient for the airport but not easy to pop into town unless you use their shuttle service but well worth staying at for the location and quality of the whole hotel. Would stay again anytime.

Sue United Kingdom

We stayed there for 2 nights. The view was amazing. The restaurant was excellent and was opened all day long, so in spite of a great choice of restaurants in El Calafate we ate at this restaurant twice. The meal was perfect and the service superb. The bar was very good also. The SPA zone is well maintained and has 2 swimming pools. The stone massage was very good and not expensive at all.

Ekaterina Russia
