Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved the hotel's location by the lake shore, though it was a bit of a trek from the city center. The rooms were decent but got quite hot during the day due to the sunlight. The service had its flaws, especially with unexpected power cuts. Dining was a mixed bag with some good options but also some disappointing aspects. Overall a decent stay with some room for improvement.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with clean and comfortable rooms and super helpful staff. The location was fantastic, offering great views and easy access to the lake. However, the dining options left something to be desired with limited choices. Overall, it was a pleasant experience with good value for money.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with amazing views of the lake, but be prepared for hot temperatures during the day. The service is top-notch, with a helpful and accommodating staff. While the location by Lake Argentina is beautiful, it may be a bit secluded. Dining options are mixed, with some excellent choices but also room for improvement.
