“DON’T get stuck here!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012

This place is in a middle of nowhere and has no shuttle. Unless you have a car, have no choice, or are forced into this “hotel” – avoid it! We got stuck here for 1 night by the agency. You have to take a taxi (to be called by a front desk) to get anywhere near civilization, food, etc. Taxi will take a max of 4 people and will cost $35 AR to nearest food, civilization, etc. From outside it looks like it is in final stages of new construction, but inside it is actually very old. Cheap and very, very used furniture. One of the cheap card keys to our room was able to open Every room in the hotel. We had 2 rooms, so found it by accident. When brought up to front desk, they did not believe at first, but then were unfazed. They take no cards, Wi-Fi is only an appearance – does not work and even network is not found. The only PC is below the ground floor. It is older than me, running unsupported Windows operating system, painfully slow and locks up. Staff is useless and every time provided us wrong information. There is no food service between breakfast and dinner – kitchen is closed. A new-to-us front desk man took pity on us and made us fried chicken and mashed potatoes, the only thing available. He was the only helpful staff member and we thanked him. You get breakfast, but just barely. I would rate it somewhere between 1 and 2 stars. At least gets a room facing the lake – not much to see, but at least you won’t have an insult added to injury…

Room Tip: At least get a Lake view room

“Great when it will be finished”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 March 2011

New hotel, great spacy modern rooms with lake views. Lacks balconies. Friendly helpful staff and perfect breakfast. It is a little out of town (30 mins walking) but taxis are cheap (4 USD). Good value. The area is not finished yet, just as the hotel. We had a perfect relaxing stay though and it will be a perfect spot when it is all finished.

“Beautiful Views”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2010

This hotel is located on the outskirts of the town and is a good 25-35 minute walk to town, but it is well worth it. From our window on the first floor we had the perfect view of the lake with lots of different birds. It is quite and peaceful.

The rooms are clean and fresh. We found the beds cozy and warm--it does get cold there at night!

The staff is friendly and helpful--especially Maria.
