Beautiful place

Beautiful views and hotel itself. The photos don't do it justice. Very relaxed atmosphere with friendly staff. Only downsides was it was too hot at night and loud with the window open. Stray dogs also kept coming into the lobby.

Decor was unique appropriate to El Calafate. The hotel was a few blocks from the main street where most restaurants and shops were located. Generally speaking, a very nice property and well maintained.

“My stay at the Splendor Hotel in El Calafate was absolutely wonderful! The team at reception truly stood out with their exceptional kindness and professionalism. They were always ready to help, offering great tips for exploring the area and ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hotel’s location, just 500 meters from the city center, is perfect—close enough to enjoy the main attractions but still quiet and peaceful. The heated pool and sauna were fantastic additions, providing a relaxing escape after a day of exploring. Overall, the Splendor Hotel exceeded all my expectations, and I highly recommend it for anyone visiting El Calafate. Thank you to the amazing staff for making our stay so enjoyable!”

Great hotel! The staff is amazingly friendly and helpful. The breakfast/restaurant/bar is very good. Easy to walk to town. My only suggestion is to add a refrigerator to the rooms. The only negative I would point out is that there is no air conditioning and the rooms get warm/stuffy. This would not deter me from staying at the Esplendor again.
Deborah, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
James, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I was a little hesitant to book this hotel due past reviews and honestly I was greatly surprised by the staff front desk team went extra mile to give proper recommendations and they made everything for my group to feel ‘on vacation mood’. It’s true the location is up hill but the lake view is priceless. Breakfast was a 10 with many portions to choose what better fit your diet. Highly recommended!
Fabi, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel was great and the upgraded room was absolutely spectacular. My only gripe was the misleading VIP perk regarding “1 free spa service for 2 per stay”. They told me this only was pool and sauna use, which doesn’t really make it a perk considering everyone staying at the hotel gets use of this…very misleading and should be changed. Otherwise, the breakfast was great and our stay was extremely pleasant.
Corey, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I would have given the hotel a perfect 5 but there were a few inconsistency problems at check out and with the box lunch we ordered. Nice breakfast and rooms and overall facilities. Easy and wonderful checkin, limited bar selection. Great mini fridge in room. No face towels or hand lotion. Could use better pillows. Really though the best place we stayed in for our 3 week Argentina tour. Hotel is located at the top of a hill 3 walk able blocks to the main street. Very quiet and clean. Seems very new and well kept.

6/10 Good

It was very hot and there was no AC. When the windows were open, loud noises came from outside making it difficult to sleep.
Jenifer, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I enjoyed my stay at the Esplendor, Nice lodge looking hotel, lobby is beautiful as well as bar area. Room is nice, spacious with beautiful views. Staff (Manuel) is really a nice guy and very helpful. Quiet area and 8 mn walk to Centro el calafate (very safe,). The negative is the sauna that is turn off, you have to ask to go an hour before so it is get to the right temperature (I assume this is for economic reason, I am ok with that), the pool was warm one day and cold the other. Breakfast is ok (I am not a big eater).
souad, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We enjoyed very much the nice welcome that included a refreshing cold mate and a cool damp towel to freshen up but once you enter the property's doors the view will take your breath away. Service was great in general, Hugo helped us at breakfast and explained to us the mate process. Hugo was just amazing! On the other hand, I have to say Marcelo, was our driver, and was supposed to take us on a day trip to the Brazilian side of the falls but the experience was not so great. Firstly he was not aware of the Brazilian board crossing rule and made us very nervous even saying we could be arrested so he took us all the way there and then decided to takes us back. He made us uneasy and nervous and then supposedly spoke to his supervisor saying then his supervisor said it was okay to cross. Needless to say we didn't want to do anything else with him. On top of that, he charged us 70 dollars to takes us back to the hotel although we stopped at Iguazú Town to buy some things. We thought that was a lot of money for the time. The next day we called an external taxi company that took us there and assured us that whole situation was not neccesary and for way less money. Lesson here, make sure you understand visa requirements and check all alternatives before you trust the hotel for excursions.
Ileanexis, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

I recently stayed at this property, and while the overall experience was ok regarding the cleanliness and location, a specific incident has led me to provide this feedback. Upon check-in, I inquired about local tour companies, and the staff was helpful, helping me to book one excursion for that day. However, my satisfaction waned that evening with an unexpected room service follow-up around 11:30 pm. A staff member arrived with a tray containing a cheesecake, two spoons, two glasses and mini champagne bottle, stating it was a courtesy from the property manager to which I asked if all guest were receiving that and she answered no. This gesture left me uneasy, especially since my reservation was for one, and such gestures were not extended to all guests. At that point I had already a pretty tight schedule with the excursions I had reserved for the next couple of days, reason why I couldn’t change hotels, but made me feel unsafe so every night I was making to use something to block the door just in case. I value privacy and respect during any of my stay, at any hotel, and this unsolicited intrusion felt uncomfortable. I hope this feedback helps in refining the guest experience. I tried to contact Expedia to report the incident but couldn’t find a way to do so, but would appreciate if an option to report this was built in the app.
