Say Hueque

Loved the hotel. The location was perfect. Very nice ambiance. Room was comfortable and v clean

Loved the location and loved the building. Our room was wonderful, especially loved the bathroom. It was huge . The lobby was inviting with very little seating area. The restaurant was great and the breakfast had a wide variety of foods. Even had a chance to try Mate

The hotel view was amazing as we had a lakeside room. The room was comfortable. Breakfast was good although the only eggs on offer were scrambled or boiled . The location is perfect as it’s a short walk to the centre of town

The Tango show was great! We learned a lot about their dance, the food was fantastic and service was elite!

We had such a great time on this trip! Our guide was incredible, I loved learning how they tamed the horses, enjoyed the BEST empanadas and the property was beautiful. It was a perfect day trip and totally worth it!

This is a wonderful hotel with luxurious rooms and amazing staff! I especially appreciated their breakfast, which included both savory and sweet options. Additionally, the hotel offered a gym and pool for interested guests. Even on our last day, they allowed us to use the gym and even provided us with a "gym service," which I found particularly nice. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Even though the staff was friendly, the hotel is old and lacks soundproofing. Furthermore, while they advertised a gym, it was a room used for laundry and storage. The windows were also quite dirty, which made them difficult to open. Despite these issues, the room itself was kept clean. Breakfast was three types of cookies, nothing else.

It's a solid, clean hotel. The room was okay. We were allowed to move the beds as we wanted, which was nice considering the beds were separate and we were a couple. Unfortunately, there was no gym in the hotel and not many protein or savory options for breakfast. Additionally, the internet was not great.

Although the hotel and the room were relatively small, I found them charming. The place had a unique style, and I could tell that the staff wanted their guests to feel welcome. We enjoyed an excellent breakfast every day, accompanied by cozy music, and the receptionists were always accommodating with anything we needed. They also spoke English very well. The only downside of this hotel is its location. Although it's near the lake, it's a 20-minute walk to the city, which wouldn't be a problem if the walk didn't involve walking among many stray dogs and unfinished streets. This might not be an issue for someone who is not afraid of dogs, but I did not enjoy El Calafate as a city because of that.

We went on a nice city stroll with Florencia as our guide. She showed us the best pizza and empanadas in town and recommended many places where we could have dinner later. We also learned about the history of the city, although it could have been a bit more detailed. All in all, it was a great first day!

We had an amazing day with our guide Marcela. She picked us up from the hotel in the morning and took us to an animal paradise. During the day, we saw many llamas, drove to see elephant seals, had a delightful lunch at a sheep farm, and visited penguins and whales. Marcela was very knowledgeable and shared interesting facts about all the animals, making it a personal and enjoyable experience. She even let us spend more time with the penguins than planned. After that, she took us on a boat ride to see whales, where we spent two hours with another guide, also named Marcela. Her love for whales was admirable, and she shared many fascinating facts about them. This entire day was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Unfortunately, we were unable to carry out our original plan due to a bird flu outbreak at the time. Instead, we opted for an underwater baptism, which involved a one-hour boat ride and a 15-minute underwater experience with an instructor. Although it was a nice experience, we were still saddened by the fact that we couldn't have the original experience.

The boat ride lasts 4-5 hours and offers breathtaking views of the landscape. It's an unforgettable experience.

During your trip, you will travel by car for an hour to reach a camp. From there, you will hike for approximately 4 hours. Although there are some long flat parts during the hike, the beautiful landscape makes up for it. The hike was not very demanding, and our guide, Gabriel, took us through alternative routes, which made the day more adventurous. The lake is breathtaking, and we had our lunch box beside it. The sandwiches were huge, so you don't have to worry about being hungry! We were very happy with the guides, the scenery, and the hike overall. It is definitely something worth experiencing!

The city was relatively small, and unfortunately, many stray dogs roamed around, making leisure time less enjoyable. However, there were some exciting activities to try. For instance, I had the opportunity to taste llama guanaco meat, which I think is worth trying. Additionally, a bird-watching tour lasted only two hours and provided a nice walk. However, it might become boring if you're not a bird-watching fan. There was also a history museum, which I found pretty nice.

Amazing show and a nice dinner!

"I had the best day ever! Our guide, Pablo, was extremely knowledgeable and a nature-lover. He made sure that we left nature intact and showed us so many beautiful places. The glaciers are definitely something to see, and I would say this is the best thing I have ever seen in my life! It was an amazing day!"
