6.4/10

The hotel boasts a beautiful design and a warm atmosphere, with spacious and comfortable rooms, and a lovely pool. However, the dining experience was underwhelming with limited breakfast choices, and the service at check-in could use improvement. Overall, great for the amenities but not ideal for meals.

Rooms

The rooms were spacious and comfortable, featuring great pillows and a lovely view of the lake. However, I noticed some wear in the details, like towels with holes.

Service was a bit slow during check-in, as our room wasn't ready until well after the official check-in time. However, once we were settled, the staff was quite accommodating and kind.

Location

7.0

The hotel is located outside the central area, which made getting to downtown a bit of a trek, but they do have a convenient shuttle service that helps.

Dining

5.0

The breakfast was disappointing, with the eggs looking unappetizing and the selection lacking in diversity. I hoped for better options given the region's culinary reputation.

Facilities

7.0

The facilities were nicely designed and included a heated pool, which was a refreshing touch. However, the massages at the spa didn't meet my expectations.

The hotel is located on a hillside offering lovely lake views and is modern in the public areas. However, the rooms left a lot to be desired as they were quite dated and uncomfortably hot without air conditioning. The breakfast was a highlight, with a good variety of options, but the dining prices were on the higher side. Overall, it was a mixed experience with both positives and negatives.

I stayed at the hotel for a couple of nights, and while the room was spacious and comfortable, the service left much to be desired. The dining options were limited, and the breakfast experience was particularly disappointing. I appreciated the large junior suite, but the lack of attentiveness from the staff and some cleanliness issues really affected my overall experience.

I had an overall good stay at this hotel in El Calafate, with nice views, a comfortable atmosphere, and decent food options.

The facilities were adequate, with clean and comfortable areas, although I didn't get to experience all that was offered fully due to some organizational issues.
