    room lighting

    We had a wonderful time relaxing by the heated indoor pool and soaking in the outdoor jacuzzi with stunning views of the lake. The breakfast spread was delicious, and the option for packed lunches was super helpful for our daily excursions. Just a small note that the room could use a bit more lighting, but overall it was a fantastic stay! 😊

    We had a lovely stay in a Junior Suite with breathtaking views of the lake. The spacious room was well-appointed, giving us plenty of space for our family. The indoor pool was a huge hit with the kids, providing a great way to unwind after a day of exploring. Also, the free shuttle to town made visiting local restaurants and shops a breeze.

    The breakfast could have had a bit more variety.

    lake views
    overcharging issue
    poor maintenance

    Scenic location with beautiful lake views.

    I had a deeply frustrating experience at this hotel. The staff were unhelpful and insisted on overcharging me under the guise of a fake exchange rate. Additionally, the amenities were not well maintained, with broken furniture and a very basic breakfast service that was below expectations.

    poor concierge service
    dining quality

    Xelena Hotel & Suites impressed me with its stunning views and spacious junior suites. The spa was a highlight, offering a nice pool and jacuzzi to relax after a day of exploring. The location felt perfect, not too far from downtown El Calafate, with a free shuttle service making it super convenient to head into town. The staff were friendly and attentive, always ready to help. However, there was a hiccup with the airport transfer. the concierge suggested we take a taxi and didn’t assist us in arranging it, which felt frustrating. No fridge in the room was a bit inconvenient too, especially after long days out. The restaurant had decent meals, but nothing particularly memorable. Overall, I had a good experience, but a few improvements would make it excellent.

    basic breakfast

    The views from our Junior Suite were stunning, but

    the hotel itself felt a bit tired and in need of updates. The staff was friendly and accommodating, but the breakfast options could be improved as they were quite basic.

    Had an awesome time with my friends after visiting the glaciers. The views from our Junior Suite were stunning! The indoor pool and spa were perfect for unwinding. Just a heads up, there's no fridge in the room, so plan accordingly. Definitely recommend checking out the local restaurants for dinner!

    Had an issue with the airport transfer. The concierge suggested taking a taxi instead of helping us arrange a service, which was pretty frustrating for us.

    local barbecue
    breathtaking scenery
    convenient shuttle
    mediocre service
    limited breakfast options

    The local cuisine is a delightful treasure! Be sure to check out Rustico Asador y Parrilla for juicy, authentic Argentinian barbecue that will make your taste buds dance. The hotel's lake view is another highlight, offering breathtaking sceneries right from your room. The free shuttle to town is a cherry on top, making dinner outings super easy!

    I have to agree, this hotel doesn’t fully live up to its 5-star claim. Service was more motel than resort, and while breakfast was decent, it lacked variety. If you're after a true luxury feel, look elsewhere.

    Staying at Xelena Hotel & Suites was a delight. The amazing views of Lago Argentino and the spacious Junior Suite created a serene retreat after exploring the glaciers. I appreciated the free shuttle service, though the breakfast variety could improve. A nice experience in El Calafate.
