The property is about 3kms out of Calafate but we had a hire car and knew in advance and chose to eat at the hotel every night and the food was good, very large quantities and reasonably priced. Our disappointment with the property was the Wi-fi was very intermittent . We had room 225, the last room on the main floor and the drain grill in the bathroom constantly smelled unless we ran the water in the bidet or the toilet. Both issues were raised with reception but the situation did not improve.

Bester Blick auf den See

Einmaliger Blick, moderne Optik, stellenweise renovierungsbedürftig, deutlich besser als ortsübliche Alternativen, Hotel und Zimmer im Winter kühl

Vue imprenable

Très bel emplacement au bout du monde. Privilégier les chambres vue sur lac, tout simplement grandiose. Petit bémol, le petit déjeuner n'est pas à la hauteur de l'hotel
