What guests think

At Esplendor by Wyndham El Calafate, travellers highlight welcoming staff, striking lake and mountain views, and lodge-style decor, with a walkable yet slightly uphill location and a heated pool and spa that many appreciate after exploring Patagonian attractions.

Rooms are often spacious and comfortable, but several guests struggled with overheating due to the lack of air conditioning and occasional noise from wind, dogs or nearby areas. Breakfast and on-site dining receive mixed feedback, with good options for many but limited variety or weak coffee for others. Expect a stylish, walkable stay with standout views and relaxing facilities, plus a few trade-offs.

The hotel is beautiful, with very nice dining and spa/pool. Beautiful views of the town and mountains. The staff were very nice and helpful. They upgraded us to a corner suite. Breakfast options were very good, typical. The only negative was that the room was too hot, and turning off the radiators did not help. However, the windows could be opened. There were barking dogs nearby, but that was our experience at multiple hotels in Argentina. Would highly recommend.

El desayuno es delicioso y la piscina con calefacción es de gran ayuda para estas frías temperaturas. Lo disfrute mucho, definitivamente me volvería a hospedar

The property looked beautiful on the pictures but did not live up to the expectations. On the positive side - the hotel was very clean and the front desk staff were friendly and very helpful. Now the negatives: the pillows were lumpy, the room on the third floor was extremely hot with no air coming in even with windows open, the upgraded “Mountain View” room had mostly a view of the streets around the hotel (our second room with a “standard” view had a better view), the coffee at breakfast was horrible, and the $25 lunch boxes we ordered from the hotel were inedible. For the price we paid, we expected more from the hotel.

Great hotel within easy walking distance of the centre El Calafate. We stayed in September and, while it was cold outside, all areas of the hotel were nice and warm. All the staff we encountered were similarly very warm and friendly. The buffet breakfast was a little limited in terms of savoury options, but was perfectly adequate. The pool area was clean and the water was a good temperature; it's just a pity that it's not open in the morning for days when one isn't heading out early. Overall though, we found the hotel offered very good value for money and would certainly stay there if we visit the region again in the future.

Cleanliness was ok and staff was good but my concept room was hot. Hard to believe I am complaining about excessive heat in the room Patagonia even without heat on but true. I had to go down to front desk to talk about switching in the middle of night. It took awhile but staff was kind enough to switch my room which is mountain facing but more importantly it was comfortable to sleep for four nights.

The front desk staff were super nice and accomadating and changed my room. The second room was much better. No funky smell and no sound of wind. Overall, the room was comfortable.

I initially purchased a queen sized bed hotel room. The room was very small. Truly only space for a bed. This particular hotel room is tucked in a corner. Virtually looks like it was turned from a closet into a hotel room to increase revenue. This room should be sold at a highly discounted rate as cheaper hotels have nicer rooms than this one. I would like to note that the property did rectify this situation to improve my experience but it wasn’t until after I walked to another hotel to look at an alternative option.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It is a really beautiful location with great views all around. We loved the esthetic of the wood + fur decor with the large windows that allowed us to take in the beautiful landscape. It is walking distance to everything you need in town and when we needed to take a car the hotel was happy to help us out with arrangements. (I personally wish I had thought ahead to rent a car and planned better, just fyi for others. I think they had free parking if you choose this option.) Finally, the staff at this hotel were really accommodating. They all spoke some level of English (the majority very good) and they were also happy to accommodate me wanting to practice my Spanish even though they clearly were inconvenienced by this since they could’ve quickly navigated the situation in English with me. I really appreciated this so much and felt it was above and beyond customer service. I would absolutely stay here again and would recommend this hotel.

The hotel is perched on a small hill overlooking the beautiful lake, it’s a 6 min walk from the Main Street. The area is safe. We arrived at the hotel with a booking of a Mountain View, I enquired about the cost for the lake view and we got a free upgrade without asking. The staff were wonderful and friendly. Breakfast was great, the scrambled eggs were not out of a pack. The fruits were fresh and the croissants delicious. The room was huge with the most gorgeous views. No ac but it’s not needed, you can open the windows.
