Great views, spacious rooms. Staff generally gracious but seem tired at times. I liked that we were able to text the front desk via Whatsup to help us get taxis from downtown to get back to hotel even past 10pm. Food prices at the hotel restaurant are very reasonable but not the best. The breakfast selection was good. You’ll have to take a taxi to get to and from town. The hotel shuttle service (taxi that they call and pay for you) runs 4x per day (10am, 6pm to town; 12pm, 8pm from town back to hotel).

Over priced. Air conditioning did not work. Front desk denied it was not working. After 3 trips to front desk a portable unit was provided. Restaurant staff was not helpful, food was adequate, but uninspired. Room had hot pot, but no coffee, tea or cups were provided. .

Têm outros melhores!

Hotel com vista incrível, longe da cidade (transfer limitado), necessitando de reformar urgente. O lobby é bonito e moderno, os quartos estão com sinais de uso e necessitando de limpeza melhor (como podem ver a cortina na foto). O spa e a academia são muito ruins, porém entrará em reforma. Não recomendo, tem outros melhores na cidade!

Hotel lindo , limpeza impecável, excelente quarto com uma vista linda. Café da manhã o básico nada de diferente e no último dia que era domingo foi mais fraco ainda pelo hotel que e , o café da manhã teria que ser bem melhor. Piscina térmica ótima , academia ruim e a localização não e boa bem afastado da cidade apesar de ter o transfer no não ajuda muito porque são poucos horários.

Excellent base for exploring Calafate region, but a little outside main town, so reliant on 10 min trip by shuttle (pick ups twice a day in or out of town), or 45 min walk to centre along lake. Hotel was wonderful - really friendly, responsive staff, great facilities and restaurant, clean, well designed rooms, good pool, great views over lake.
