8/10 Very Good
Dec 5, 2024
Great view, nice people, but some issues
The location offers a spectacular view of the Andes. At night, the stars are bright.
The staff is friendly. Breakfast is modest, but perfectly fine. Dinners are prepared expertly on the Argentine grill, and provide a communal spirit among the guests.
But being in the middle of nature comes with certain challenges.
Depending on the direction one comes from, the last 15km or 30km are unlit gravel roads. This can be dangerous if you arrive at night, it happens to be raining, you rented an underpowered car, or a combination of all of these.
The property is only a few years old, but it is already showing its age due to the harshness of the local conditions.
In our case, the shower went unpredictably from cold to hot to cold again. Only the rainshower worked, not the handshower. Drainage was slow. Other arriving guests were waiting to see whether they could get another room or they would be leaving, because of worse plumbing issues.
There were other minor issues. For example, a defective skylight curtain in the bedroom could have easily been fixed professionally in less than an hour. Instead, the curtain was fixed with a cable tie. As a result, the skylight providing a view of the stars from the bed was useless.
These issues notwithstanding, we had a great time. For the nightly price, however, we normally expect a greater attention to details.
