This was our 2nd time, and it was awful. We were here beginning of September 2010 and 2011. It got WORSE. Please disregard my 2010 review. It changed too much.
We had a great room, suit with a view on the beach. BUT considering all the "minuses" the room could Not make up enough for all the other faults.
1) To make a telephone call from room - make a deposit! Even to local number!
2) No room service, AND no drinking water in the room.
3) The fridge was not working
4) The water in shower didn't go away
p.3.+p.4 Please bear in mind that suits were recently renovated. It still didn't work.
5) The food in restaurant was awful, it deteriorated by 1000 times since last year. BUT the price was on same very high level! The price of salad 12-15 EURO in Garbi beach restaurant, and same price in Ushuaia beach restaurant, but in Ushuaia you get delicious meals. Ali-oli also got worse.
6) Towels - require deposit.
7) Safebox - require deposit AND rent payment!!!
8) TV channels only in GERMAN!!
Horrible, tacky deckchairs on the beach. They are also not very comfortable.
9) WIFI connection - NOT STABLE!! And they could NOT help to fix it anyhow. I asked them 5-10 times. Wifi is very important for my work, so this was a breaking point for decision to change location and never come back.
The only positive thing about hotel is the staff at reception and the manager Tony, they are Honest people. As we stayed for 1st week at Ushuaia, and then we moved to Garbi for 2nd week, as it was planned so preliminary. We checked in at garbi, and considering all the inconvenience which we faced at Garbi, we moved out the next day from Garbi to Ushuaia. Since our stay at Garbi was 100% prepaid via bank swift to Garbi's account, they returned the difference of unused nights upon our return from holidays from their account to mine.
