Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Posada del Río

This hotel has good quality rooms and cabins on its beautiful, 4-hectare (10-acre) private park, Metreñehue, which is covered with native forest and skirts along the Trancura River. Just 10 minutes outside of Pucón, it's a natural oasis and a laid-back spot, and an especially good choice for families with kids. There are rooms available in the small hotel, but the spacious riverside cabins are a great deal, complete with their own kitchens. The pool is especially welcome on hot summer days.
