Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Kau-Yatún
El Calafate, Santa Cruz, 9405, Argentina
This converted ranch is nestled in a quiet tree-lined valley by a stream yet lies just six blocks from the main street and offers a full schedule of mountain biking, horseback riding, and four-wheel-drive expeditions in the 42,000-acre Estancia 25 de Mayo that lies just behind the hotel. Hotel Kau-Yatún is closed in winter, but its sister hotel, the much larger Mirador del Lago, is open year-round.
PROS
- good value
- nice details
- central location
CONS
- water pressure is only adequate
- lost a bit of personality from chain takeover
- Wi-Fi and modern amenities sparse
