6/10
Our stay at Puyuhuapi Lodge was, regrettably, far below expectations. To begin with, one must book the boat to access the hotel, which is understandable; however, despite having two boats, several guests were left waiting for 20 minutes due to limited space. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a welcome drink and a group briefing on the hotelâs facilities, yet no one mentioned the need to book the boat for departure. The following morning, I was informed that the boat was fully booked, causing considerable stress as we had to continue our journey south. Fortunately, we managed to secure a spot thanks to other guests postponing their departureâhardly the standard of organisation one expects.
The hotel itself is charming, with spectacular views and a tranquil atmosphere. Breakfast was delightful, and both the bar and restaurant offered well-prepared dishes. However, the outdoor pools were disappointingâpoorly maintained, with only two out of three operational and the water noticeably cold despite being advertised as hot springs. Ironically, there were also issues with hot water in the showers. After waiting over 10 minutes, I was forced to endure a cold shower.
Additionally, the senderos (trails) were poorly maintained, which was disheartening for those keen to explore. Given the price, I expected far more. If you seek hot springs or well-kept trails, I would suggest exploring other options.
