Hotels With Spa in Santa Cruz, Argentina

The hotel is very comfortable. We stay in a room of 3 people, extremely wide and with view to the mountains. Very good bathroom, comfortable bed. Very tasty breakfast. We find the restaurant the best of the trip and with good prices. The staff are extremely efficient and efficient.Special mention to Mariano and Valentina. The hotel does not have lifts and TV in the room. We would be there again next time.

We stayed here for 3 nights. It’s a nice hotel with friendly staff. It’s the small things that bother me like on the 2nd floor at the elevator only the up button can be pressed. At breakfast, at 09:00 when we came for breakfast the eggs were cold. The next day we had a pickup at 07:10 and they said breakfast starts at 06;00. I guess nobody told the kitchen staff. They only put out the food at 06:25 and the eggs were cold. The 3rd day we went down at 06:20 and everyone still had to wait for them. And guess what, the eggs were cold. The rooms are nice and you have a nice view from the room to lake Argentina.

Room is nice and good size. Has sufficient space for 2. Breakfast is a nice spread, although it is exactly the sane everyday. Hotel has sauna, gym and massage services (cheaper than street prices for tourists). Location is super convenient, easy walk to town for food and shopping. Also very near to the free shuttle to the Glaciaruim.

We stayed at the Boutique Hotel La Cantera in El Calafate for 3-nights in mid-Oct, two nights while visiting the Perito Morena Glacier and one night after returning from a visit to Ushuaia and before taking the bus to Chile ($120 US/night). The hotel is on a hill 5-blocks above main street (with all of the restaurants, shops), so a car is an asset; however, for those without, they offer an evening shuttle with a local taxi for less than $1. Plenty of free parking is available. The hotel is in two buildings, each on its own terrace. Our superior doubles were on the upper terrace in the building with reception and the restaurant. Both were spacious, although one had a large entry area and more plush furnishings. There was a king bed with side tables, an open cabinet for clothes, safe, mini-refrigerator, TV, and two chairs and a table by the window with a view of the lake over the front building. It was fronted by a terrace with some lawn furniture that was accessible by going through the lobby or simply stepping out over the low-silled window. We didn't use it, though, because of the howling, cold wind at this time of year. The room was heated by a sub-floor system with no controller in the room; we found it too warm, so had to prop the window open at night. Breakfast was good, with a choice of eggs, fresh-squeezed orange juice, mimosas, and the regular ham, cheese, and baked items. The staff were friendly and helpful. They stored a bag for us while we were on our excursion to Ushuaia, and were helpful in arranging a taxi to get us to our 8 am bus to Chile. A pleasant and comfortable boutique hotel.

Very disappointed with my stay at the Hotel, I detail my experience below so that you think well before choosing it: Upon arrival and check-in, they informed me that the price they had quoted me by phone and email was not the final price, since it was ”without VAT”, so I had to pay much more than what I was informed. Very inconvenient and unprofessional. The first night I decided with my partner to have dinner in the hotel restaurant. I had to get up from the table to ask for a menu because the attention was terrible.  Literally HALF AN HOUR AFTER ORDERING our food, the waitress came over to tell us that ONE OF THE DISHES WAS NOT AVAILABLE! One hour wait for food and food arrived at the table at 11:20 p.m.  A real disaster. The food service to the room has an extra cost of $1,000 if you ask that the food be brought to your room. Breakfast is nothing special and pretty disappointing. The WIFI signal is bad and the SPA and sauna service that they boast so much about on the website are not a big thing. MY SPA TREATMENT WAS NOT RELAXING AT ALL. I WAS FREEZING THE WHOLE TIME AND ROOM WAS SO BRIGHT I JUST WANTED TO LEAVE! No kettle if you need to heat water, the furniture is old and the TV is also very old, no Netflix or YouTube, like any 5 star hotel of nowadays. The pool is very small, zero privacy or comfort if there are other people enjoying it.  It has a few lounge chairs piled up in a corner so you don't even want to stay there. In conclusion, I was expecting a quality service according to the high price they charge and I was very disappointed. Far from recommending this hotel as there are so many other much better options at a lower price. It really sucks that they take advantage of people like that and that they boast of being a luxury 5-star hotel when they clearly are not.

Most places are expensive around here but putting that aside, I really enjoyed my stay here. Restaurant staff were super Florenzia on reception was so helpful and patient despite us having numerous questions about all the trail options Food in house was lovely Bar drinks were great Shower could be better in terms of power Housekeeping was good Breakfast was reasonable and they kindly accommodated requests for eggs at no additional cost

A modest aging property located in the small town of Califate that provides a convenient base for exploring the nearby lake and natural wonders. It looks quite stately from the lobby and exterior but the rooms and especially the bathrooms are long over due for an upgrade. We stayed for two nights at the end of January as part of a tour to visit glaciers and national parks. We stayed in a king room on the 2nd floor. While perfectly clean and comfortable it was definitely a step down from other hotels on this trip-comparable to a mid-scale spot in the US. Like other area hotels in Patagonia, there is no Ac due to the normally cool climate and heat is provide via antiquated radiators. Luckily there was a large sliding window to open but without any cross ventilation or fan to move air, the room felt stuffy. The small bathroom was at least 20 years old with outdated fixtures like the tub/shower combo and a tiny single sink with antiquated faucet and sputtering water pressure. Bath amenities were also very basic. Breakfast was included and while there were many selections, items were largely packaged and canned foods set out like canned pears, cold cuts, and processed meats and cheese. As I said, despite the woeful lack of creature comforts, as a place to crash for a couple of nights it was perfectly adequate.

The staff here were so so helpful. They helped me to book my buses, were so quick with laundry and helped me find a place to fix my broken sunglasses. They also went above and beyond when I rang them in the middle of a tour after realising I hadn’t locked my locker in my dorm and was worried about my bag - they went and got my bag and held it safely behind reception till I got back from my tour. The hostel is very homey with small dorms, cosy beds and a nice sitting area and garden. Breakfast is also included (not a huge selection but does the job) and they offer a packed lunch service for tours.

Although the hotel is not in the town center, the hotel provides a shuttle bus to and from the town center every hour, and the drive is about 15 minutes, not far. The hotel is located on the shores of Lake Argentine, with beautiful scenery and gorgeous sunrise colors! The front desk of the hotel has a service to provide local tourism projects. The lady has a very good attitude and helps our family to arrange the itinerary. The town is not big and has a very breath of life!

My husband and I stayed in a standard queen room in January 2020 for 4 nights while on a roadtrip in the area. Positives: - clean room, although part of the bed was broken (the mattress on one side had slightly collapsed) - good wifi - friendly staff - okay breakfast buffet - plentiful, easy and complimentary parking - nice location outside town. The taxis are cheap and easy to use. Negatives: - tried to book treatments at the spa, but was informed it's fully booked. The hotel could inform customers of the need to pre-book before arrival. - the room contained no slippers. Was informed we could get them from the spa but was met by an almost scary lady who demanded a deposit (!!) for SLIPPERS. It would also, apparently, have required filling in forms (:D ). At this point, I didn't know whether I should cry or laugh and decided that the slippers were most definitely not worth the time and effort. - the complimentary shuttle only requires pre-booking TO town and I wouldn't count on using it coming back from town since it appeared to be the survival of the quickest queue-jumper... - two cleaners, on two separate occasions, tried to enter our room even though the ”Do not disturb” sign was hanging on the know and we were trying to sleep. The first try was at 9.30 in the morning! I was absolutely furious. - housekeeping began cleaning rooms at 7 am with zero regard for customers in their rooms. They came armed with extremely loud walkie-talkies so good look having a sleep-in (oh, but that won't be possible anyway as someone will forcefully enter your room even though there's a Do not disturb sign....) - lousy sound isolation between other rooms as well as between the room and hallway. We could hear what TV programme our neighbour was watching and exactly what they were doing in the bathroom. In conclusion, this hotel has great potential but needs to focus more on the small details and the customer experience.

Hotel is very central and we walked around town everywhere. Staff were super friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend booking a massage it was delightful. Got rid of my knots and would have gotten another massage but we didnt book in advance so we werent able to. Spa area was unexpected little gem. Jacuzzi and a sauna. The only down side to the hotel was the water pressure wasn't great. Makes a lot of strange noises as well. But this doesn't take away from the rest of the positives from the hotel.

The hotel is very comfortable. We stay in a room of 3 people, extremely wide and with view to the mountains. Very good bathroom, comfortable bed. Very tasty breakfast. We find the restaurant the best of the trip and with good prices. The staff are extremely efficient and efficient.Special mention to Mariano and Valentina.
