There is a lot to like here, beginning with the restaurant, La Fleur de Sel, which produces amazing, five-star meals using local ingredients, but with a French flair.

The triangular-shaped cabins at this hotel are surprisingly well-equipped, with kitchens, Internet, cable TV, and phones. Each of the two types of cabins—superior (split level) and tourist (one floor)—are a good option for groups and families, sleeping 4 to 10 people. The so-called tourist cabins are more simply furnished and do not include maid service. They also offer domos, which can comfortably sleep two people. But the main reason to stay are the thermal pools, which are included in the price of the cabin. Day visits to the pools are also possible for 26,000 pesos, and the spa has massages (including a chocolate massage) and facial treatments.

About 20 minutes from Parque Nacional Huerquehue, this resort lets you relax in three steaming pools set beside an icy mountain stream. At the spa you can enjoy an individual bath, massage, or both. The complex includes a handful of luxurious cabins, all of which have enormous tubs you can fill with water from the hot springs. Those just visiting for the day pay 25,000 pesos for entry. There's also a country house past the spa where you can soak in privacy.

This grandiose stone-and-wood hot springs resort sits on the edge of Parque Nacional Puyehue. It's an enormous hotel, with three restaurants, four bars, a movie theater, bowling alley, and a long slate of activities from darts to skiing to tennis, in addition to the thermal pools. The rooms and common areas here are a mix of starkly modern and 19th-century Germanic features like chrome, hardwoods, and even some modern art. While you may opt for a lower room rate with just breakfast included, the best bet may be the hotel's all-inclusive rate, which includes meals, drinks, excursions, and use of the pools and thermal baths in the price of the room (rates drop dramatically outside of summer months). The hotel also offers an all-day pass to use the springs and pools, with meals included, if you prefer not to stay overnight. 

This modern, spiffy hotel and spa is situated in a wonderful mountain setting. In winter, it draws travelers to its companion ski center and backcountry skiing opportunities in the surrounding area.

The lodge itself has a full-on spa with all the amenities, and impeccable rooms with nice views.
