El Faro Boutique Hotel & Spa by DON

let me say, I spent hours counting the days I stayed, staring out at the windowlocation is among the best in villa la angostura, close to the correntoso river and lake, and on the ruta 40 to go to chile (if you have to) or the 7 lagos route to San Martin de los Andes.getting to VLA El Cruce, its downtown, is easy and quick. 5min.and lastly, its restaurant for dinner, superb, as well as the breakfast buffet.

HELP IN MAKING RESERVATION. . WE REQUESTED A TOUR BUT NEVER GOT THE CONFIRMATION OR ANY COMMNENT.

Great views of the Nahuel Huapi lake. Very nice spa and pool

Breakfast and room service wasn't very good, needs inprovement.

Fantastic views, very nice staff, super helpful and friendly, gorgeous property. I will return for sure.

The location is everything. The views from the rooms are really worth it. Also, Dinner was great. Mainly though, the staff were all amazing and made our stay even more enjoyable!The Gym is small but has all you need for a quick workout.

The wooden walkways outside need some serious maintenance.

Fantastic hotel in a stunning location! The breakfast was great and it's only a short drive to the town centre. Our room had incredible views of the lake, with a big sunny terrace. The spa area was a lovely addition. Restaurant was really good too.

The jetty over the lake was really run down and looked a bit dangerous. It would be nice to have some canoes to rent.

The biggest selling point of this hotel is its location, right on the lake, with uninterrupted views from pretty much everywhere. This made our stay worthwhile for me, as there are very few properties that offer this. For me, sitting in the room watching the sun set over the mountains was particularly magical. If this is what you're after, it's great.Additionally, the breakfast was tasty, and the staff were friendly enough. The beds were very comfy. The location is walkable to town, about twenty/thirty minutes along a path separate from the road, or a five minute cab ride.

You have to be realistic, however, about the price point. Other hotels are significantly more expensive and you can see why when you arrive. El Faro is in need of a refurb, it's pretty run down. The bath, though comfy and with an incredible view, had mould along the grouting (as did the blind in the bathroom). The outdoor pool had many tiles cracked and missing, and the glass outside was smashed and missing in parts too. I think calling it a spa hotel is also a little misleading. The outdoor pool isn't heated, so isn't usable a lot of the time, the sauna was closed while we were there, and when I asked about the treatments there was no menu or booklet, I was just told that they're all the same length (50mins), same price ($80) and you can discuss the type with the staff member. Perhaps these things are understandable given the price point, but if they're going to disappoint you, don't book here. It's not quite the luxurious experience I was hoping for, but the views were sensational.

Beautiful design of hotel with an amazing view. Environment very peaceful and comfortable with friendly and helpful staff. Our “suite” was great.

Original room was tired looking and could use a refurb. Location just outside of town centre. Need car.

The view is spectacular. The location is just right—away from town but close.

There is a lot of deferred maintenance in the hotel with partly addressed holes in the room floorboards, handles lose etc. They need a handyman out. No bath towels in the room twice—-and the breakfast was very below par compared to our other Argentina hotel stays. The room charge was more expensive than any other hotel during our trip, and yet we had beautiful views just across the lake for a lot less money. The price is not worth the value. Front desk has no one who speaks English. All other hotels of anywhere near this price have someone who speaks at least some English to help tourists.

The location was fantastic with spectacular views. The staff were warm, welcoming and very knowledgeable.A great place to stay which exceeding my expectations.

NOTHING!

beautiful hotel at the lake with a nice pool and great view over the lake. we had three relaxing days at the hotel.

The location and the view are awesome.

The breakfast place is not large enough for all the guests. sometime you have to wait.

the view is rather nice from the lobby. BUT - and there’s a huge BUT. Room pictures are from 2005. Deceptive to say the least.

the price is COMPLETELY out of proportion with the quality. The hotel is run down, the pier is on its last legs, breakfast is literally the most basic hotel breakfast you can think of. For such a price it’s not acceptable. ( I even asked previous to the trip for vegan options since I’m allergic and got NO alternatives the day of the trip).Utterly disappointed with the hotel and the deceptive online pictures. we paid extra to buy luxury this was most definitely not it.

Every Thing. Check every box and then some. What a great hotel with probably one of the best locations I've ever stayed at, and being air crew, trust me, I have seen my share.

No Thing.

Lake view from the room

The restaurant portions were not very big

It’s a beautiful property at Argentina’s most exclusive and picturesque area

Outstanding view from our room . Located overlooking the lake .
