"You need a.category six when it comes to lodges like Hacienda Tres Lagos. I have been traveling for five weeks in Argentina, Uruguay and Chile and Tres Lagos is hands down my/our favorite place. Our room (Exploradores) was spectacular with the fireplace, view and amenities! The staff were over the top. We felt like somewhere between close family and beloved royalty! The kitchen means to please with a nice array of wonderful dishes and we also enjoyed cocktails and wine. Domingo, Andres, Alejandra, Nicholas, Michelle, Nancy and everyone were so kind and attentive. Make sure.to boat and hike with Nicholas to the three glaciers! What a treat!"
