The dirt road to the property was in terrible condition and had 8 switchbacks. There was no sign so we spent nearly an hour walking around until we knocked on someone’s door to ask where to go. There was mold in the shower and the coverlet on the bed was stained.

Estadia perfeita no El Refugio! Hotel impecável, recepção incrível e atendimento muito atencioso, prestativo e gentil. Os visuais são simplesmente maravilhosos. Único ponto negativo é o acesso: estrada difícil, com muitas pedras, ladeira longa e pouca sinalização. Fora isso, experiência excelente!

A ideia era reservar esse hotel para descansar, já que ele fica há 40 minutos do centro da cidade. E não tem nada perto. Mas o quarto estava MUITO sujo. A piscina estava bem suja e com muitas crianças gritando, então desistimos de usar. O quarto de cima, faz muito barulho para quem fica no térreo, os hóspedes chegaram na madrugada e dava para ouvir tudo. Não recomendo.

La habitación está bien aunque un poco pequeña, el lugar está en buen estado pero no es para verano. Hay muy poco para hacer, el gimnásio es muy chico al igual que la pileta. Y queda muy lejos del centro.lo recomiendo para esquiar en invierno

Chic apartamento de ski

Aclaro que fuimos en verano. Situado en las afueras en carretera pasando Chapelco, está situado en una estación de ski. El camino es difícil según qué vehículo pero el lugar es increíble: cabañas nuevas de madera y piedra, estilo rústico moderno, dispone de mini kitchen con todo lo necesario para preparar lo que necesites. El servicio muy cortés. Tiene una piscina medio techada y medio al aire libre con agua caliente: espectacular para relajarse, y sauna seco y húmedo, que te dejan usarlo incluso después del checkout. Handicap? Pues el restaurante que está en la pista de ski está sobrevalorado con precios infladísimos, y volver a San Martín para cenar de noche, difícil camino. Recomiendo usar la cocina de las instalaciones.
