A Nice Surprise
Domermick Oct 12, 2009
I don't expect other travellers who want to go to El Calafate to be the types who want to have massages and get treatment ... that one would expect at a resort location - instead, you are likely to be going to Calafate to see the glaciers and the hotel is of secondary importance. It was for me. That being said, the hotel was a very pleasant surprise...and as it turned out, I believe you CAN get massages, etc.! Staff at the hotel and restaurant were very friendly, and the rooms were quite nice. Certainly better than I expected for the price and at the bottom of South America in a fairly remote location. There's a great ambience about the place that I can't quite put my finger on in terms of how to describe...but it's a really nice style. Food at the restaurant was very good too. My wife loved the place, and I think I scored some points for the selection, which was a relief particularly after getting some demerits for my selection on Easter Island! :) I would stay here again in a heartbeat, and would recommend it to my friends and family without reservation.

You are in El Calafate undoubtedly to see the glaciers, in particular probably Perito Moreno. If you have a couple of days, the cruise on Lago Argentino is a good option (althought currently icebergs block passage to Upsala glacier). But if I had to choose between the cruise and being driven to the park itself, I would choose the drive, which we did on the second day before flying out. You only get a couple of hours to see the park, but it is a rewarding couple of hours, and really gives you a better impression of the beauty and marvel of the place than the cruise, in my opinion - because you can see it at different heights on the peninsula (on the water, you just have the one perspective)...taxi cost us about $100 (combined) to and from the hotel to the glacier for a couple of hour stay, but you've already spent a lot to go there already, right? Don't miss the park itself...and the ride there is also quite beuatiful.

good stay
iTrader May 2, 2009
nice and clean hotel that provided all the services in a professional manner. helpful staff. not in the town center, but ... has a very nice view of the town and lake because it's situated on a hill. short walk into town, about 7-10min. hotel has a decent restaurant. i would definitely stay there again.
Traveler type: Friends
hotel requires cash payment for all glacier tours. you can use your credit cards in tour agencies in town center, but credit cards cost 20% more. but might be worth a trip to town to make reservations there as they were about 10% cheaper than in hotel

Beautiful Boutique Hotel
Allison Oct 17, 2008
The Esplendor was a great hotel. Beautiful interiors. Lobby was like a boutique ski resort. Room was large and very ... comfortable. The Town of El Calafate is very dirty and noisy with the stray dogs, but this hotel was a great retreat, up on a hill, from that. Staff was excellent and practically predicted my every need. I called them beforehand to set up excursions for me for the glaciers and they were perfect!
Traveler type: Couples
very close to everything. We walked into town. ten minutes.
