Clean room, helpful staff.
Lovely hotel, helpful staff. Our room was a little noisy (on main floor, near elevator and restaurant) so we asked to move. Second room on upper floor was very quiet.

A Negative for Hotels.com
There was a mixup with hotel.com. We had organised and paid for a Superior room and was given a Standard room. We were unable to rectify the issue. Other than that the hotel was efficient and helpful and a reasonable place to stay.

Disappointed
This is definitely not a 5 star hotel maybe 4. Some rooms are sub par. Breakfast is basic. Toiletries are basic, hair fan weak. Staff is nice. Pool and Spa OK but small.

The hotel is close to Lake Argentino with a nice view of the lake. The hotel has nice facilities, and the amenities are excellent. The breakfast was wonderful. Like most people we met in Argentina, the hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. It was worth every penny of the price.

High end hotel with excellent service and two nice restaurants but located in a remote area away from town. Our first room was less than ideal with a view facing a stone wall but they gave us a free upgrade to a trip,e room with a view off the lake.

The hotel is in a good and convinient location. We had a room with a view of the lake which was lovely.
The food is mediocre but they charge prices as it would be a five star restaurant. I suggest you don’t eat there. There are increíble restaurants in town.
In addition the service at the restaurant is poor.

Serenity
We had a great time staying at this hotel. The room was clean and comfortable, and had a garden view. It was on the ground floor and next to a trail so you don’t have a lot of privacy. The hotel had classic and modern decor, which was quite nice. Had food at both restaurants on the venue - there were decent but slightly overpriced. I enjoyed the breakfast buffet even though it was the same spread daily but the view from the restaurant was peaceful and serene. The hotel also provided a shuttle to Calafate town which was really great otherwise it’d be a 25 min walk to town. Overall we had a great time!

Be careful of potential theft.
Nice property, on the whole very nice staff.
We caught maintenance trying to steal. Management took this pretty casually and had zero consideration that it ruined our day with very little in the way of offering something besides a meal.

Bad Internet service and electricity issues -AC didn’t run till 1130 pm on day 1
Room service pathetic - needed to call them 2-3 times for everything such as a kettle, plates, or even for AC service
We went and got it ourselves on most occasions
Door won’t get locked on its own so can’t say it was safe
Too much noise and music from the restaurant - we were given a room next to restaurant
Basic toiletries not kept on second day
The room decor and furniture and everything else was very dated
They are barely a 3-star hotel; not sure why they even claim them selves to be 5-star. Expedia should not put a 5-star rating to them

We rented a car so can’t speak to other forms of transportation. The hotel was clean and in good repair. The staff at the restaurant very friendly. The hotel is not constructed of high quality materials but was put together well. Drinks were very expensive and on par with New York.. humm. Stayed in the one bedroom suite facing the lake. Breakfast was included and delicious. Would recommend and would stay again.
