The hotel is located in a highly scenic river valley just outside the park entrance, and has an incredible view of the Paine Massif with Paine Grande and Los Cuernos at the featured angle, with Grey Glacier off in the backdrop. The grounds are amazingly beautiful, as well, and you can hike along the Rio Serrano if you wish.||We visited right on the cusp of high season and had half good weather days and half marginal weather days. The weather changes very, very fast here so set expectations accordingly.||Most outstanding is the food menu, which is the same for lunch and dinner, although we ordered a bag lunch for all but one day. The RestoBar (De Agostini) has excellent food, as well, and a bit of a different menu than the restaurant upstairs (Qawasqar). Amazing options at the restaurant were incredible short ribs, ribeye steak, and king crab cheese bake (choupé), ceviché, and seared tuna, among many, many other incredible options.||Beds in the room were super king-sized and a great place to come back to and rest after a hard day's hiking, not to mention the incredible view of the Paine Massif always out the window.||One day returning for the Torres Mirador hike, my feet were so beaten up that I could barely walk. The concierge team helped me with my pack and poles up to the room, and all I had to do was take my body back up to my room on the elevator! So caring and helpful was the staff.||I stress that it would be well worthwhile to book the room with the board (all meals) option. Meals from the generous menu are expensive ala carte (but not bad at all when compared fine dining in the U.S.), and it is no absolutely problem to get your money's worth out of the bar and restaurant. Not many items of alcohol and no food items at all are marked as "premium" items, except maybe on or two things at most. We gladly accepted the 10% service charge on each restaurant check, as we found the table service to be quite good and the staff deserves to make a good living for work very well done. ||We used a friend/guide instead of the excursion provider, Massif, for all but two excursions, but we didn't get completely all-inclusive which includes the Massif excursions, aw well. Remember the three levels of stay: Room Only, Room with all meals, and all-inclusive with excursions included.||This seems to be the best option and best value among the higher-end resort options in and around the park, and we will for sure be returning when we visit beautiful Patagonia again!
