Correntoso Lake & River Hotel

“Great Stay!”

We stayed here with a Biking Tour. It was our 2nd hotel. We got room 104. No AC. Great sized bedroom with smallish bathroom, but with a great counter for toiletries.

We stayed here with a Biking Tour. It was our 2nd hotel. We got room 104. No AC. Great sized bedroom with smallish bathroom, but with a great counter for toiletries. It had a toilet with bidet, robes and slippers. Not many hooks to hang any towels on, tho. No heated towel rack. Nice sized closet to hang clothes, along with a safe. Couch to set luggage on. It seemed like a King Bed ...was super comfortable , great pillows and linens. Charming patio looking over Lake Correntoso, but never got to use it, as it rained the 2 nights we were there. It sure was a great view even with the clouds. The front desk crew were super friendly and helpful with any and all questions. They did bring us a fan the first night....really helped. Wonderful spa area with pool, sauna, steam room and massage rooms and pools. The attendant at the spa desk was also very helpful. Correntoso Hotel has a cute little bar room, and lounges to meet friends at. Nice breakfast area and great OJ.

“Stunning location, wonderful stay – but beware of excursion billing”

Hotel Correntoso is truly a gem in Patagonia. The location by the lake is breathtaking – the views alone are worth the trip. The service at the hotel is professional and warm, the rooms are elegant and comfortable, and the restaurant serves delicious food. We also booked an excursion through the hotel – a boat trip and hike – which was absolutely fantastic: well-organized, beautiful nature, and an excellent guide. However, a major downside was the way the excursion was billed. We were told the price was 130 USD, but in the end, we were charged significantly more. The amount was first converted into Argentine pesos at the *MEP exchange rate* (a parallel market rate), and then re-converted into USD using the official exchange rate – which is far less favorable. Then, via my credit card, the pesos were once again converted back into USD. In practice, this meant we paid around 180 USD instead of the quoted 130 USD. This discrepancy was never communicated clearly and feels quite unfair. At a hotel of this level, you expect transparency and honest pricing, especially when it comes to extra services that are hard for international travelers to verify. In short: Correntoso is absolutely worth visiting for its comfort, location, and overall experience – but be cautious when booking additional services and make sure to ask for the *final* cost in your payment currency. Hopefully, the hotel takes this feedback seriously, as small details like this can unfortunately tarnish an otherwise unforgettable experience. --- Let me know if you'd like a more concise version too!

“Poorly trained staff”

The hotel is in a beautiful location - 4 km from Villa La Angostura. Check in was fine and we were shown our room. We were offered a tour of the hotel but since they were busy perhaps we could do it later. Never followed up. We had been asked if we wanted dinner at check in but decided to wait till later. When we turned up at the restaurant we were told they were full; but perhaps we could eat at a coffee table, which we accepted. 10 minutes later another person told us we could have a proper table. The following night we decided to have a drink at a table overlooking the beautiful lake. The table had the remains of a meal which had yet to be cleared. Various staff passed at least 5 times without clearing the table. Even when the drinks were served the dirty plates and glasses were not cleared. On the day of the checkout we booked a taxi for 11 o’clock. After multiple trips to the reception being assured the taxi was on its way, it finally arrived 20 minutes late. Given VLA is only 10 minutes away I wonder if it was ever booked in the first place. Shame really as the hotel could be super with properly trained staff.

“If I come back … I’ll try somewhere else.”

It’s certainly a beautiful setting with amazing views over the lakes and the mountains. Apart from that, I wasn’t impressed. I think it’s a 3* hotel - claiming to be 4* - and charging 5* prices. The staff are not service led and don’t seem to be trained in helping guests enjoy their stay. Bre… lisää
