I was a bit hesitant at first since I was used to traveling and staying at bigger hotels, but I was put to ease after checking into Le Lac and being shown to our lovely room which had a bay window looking at a perfect setting of the lake and mountains. Our spacious room had a very comfortable bed, and a lovely sitting area by the window to enjoy a summer breeze and a glass of wine while watching the sun set directly in front of us. The bathroom had a great shower with a window that also looked out at the lake, so each room took full advantage of the incredible view.
Breakfast is served till exactly 10:00am, so being prompt is important. The coffee is hot and brewed to perfection, with warm milk in a thermos for a cafe late'. Breakfast is a bit slim, but good, offering croissants, toast, cereal and juice. It was enough to get going, but I could have used some fresh fruit and yogurt with a bit more variety since a big day of excursions started right after breakfast.
Speaking of excursions, there is no better person to speak with other than Andrea, who will not only give you many different options, but will make phone calls and reservations as well as prepare you for any little thing you must know before your journey. Andrea is caring, considerate, thoughtful and a bundle of information to insure that you have the best possible experience in Angostura. Every excursion we had, was great, and Andrea was always there to check on us the following morning.
Angostura itself is bit of a busy little town, so being outside of town was a real plus for us, but then again we had a car so that made moving around much easier. The beach is right below the hotel, so it is a quick walk to enjoy a beautiful sunset and bottle of wine and a book while watching the colors amaze you as the sun goes down.
We loved our experience here and will look forward to seeing Andrea again on our next visit through Angostura....
