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

The front desk staff was fantastic and super accommodating. They were extremely professional and helped us with everything we needed.

Edgar United States of America

Very nice place overall. Nice rooms with beautiful views, very friendly staff, adequate fitness center, good restaurant, and very clean.

Timothy United States of America

The front desk staff was very helpful and nice. The view was truly great! The dinner was pretty good and the shuttle was nice since the location is just far enough you wouldn’t want to walk.

Michael United States of America

Liked the location. It is right outside of town, there is a free hourly shuttle provided to the town center which was very convenient. If you don't want to wait for the shuttle, taxi option would be very cheap. Beautiful view of the lake and very peaceful. Loved the pool and spa with verrrry reasonable prices. Breakfast was great--many choices.

Anonymous United States of America

View from the hotel was the best in town. Staff was helpful and friendly.
