Hotel Correntoso is truly a gem in Patagonia. The location by the lake is breathtaking – the views alone are worth the trip. The service at the hotel is professional and warm, the rooms are elegant and comfortable, and the restaurant serves delicious food. We also booked an excursion through the hotel – a boat trip and hike – which was absolutely fantastic: well-organized, beautiful nature, and an excellent guide. However, a major downside was the way the excursion was billed. We were told the price was 130 USD, but in the end, we were charged significantly more. The amount was first converted into Argentine pesos at the *MEP exchange rate* (a parallel market rate), and then re-converted into USD using the official exchange rate – which is far less favorable. Then, via my credit card, the pesos were once again converted back into USD. In practice, this meant we paid around 180 USD instead of the quoted 130 USD. This discrepancy was never communicated clearly and feels quite unfair. At a hotel of this level, you expect transparency and honest pricing, especially when it comes to extra services that are hard for international travelers to verify. In short: Correntoso is absolutely worth visiting for its comfort, location, and overall experience – but be cautious when booking additional services and make sure to ask for the *final* cost in your payment currency. Hopefully, the hotel takes this feedback seriously, as small details like this can unfortunately tarnish an otherwise unforgettable experience. --- Let me know if you'd like a more concise version too!
