Llao Llao Hotel & Resort Golf Spa

A beautiful old fashioned ski lodge style resort in a lovely location. The views over Nahuel Huapi Lake from our bedroom (a Lake Studio room) were beautiful, and the views from the outdoor heated pool, the breakfast room and the bar in the Moreno wing over Moreno Lake towards the volcano were spectacular. We enjoyed the selection of delicious offerings at breakfast (particularly good omelettes) and some drinks and a sushi dinner in the Moreno wing bar. The staff in the Moreno bar were very friendly and efficient. In the main Lobby bar the surroundings are lovely, and we enjoyed a lunch and some pre dinner drinks there, although found the staff there to be a little bit distracted and the service slow (perhaps a little understaffed at busy times?). Our room was spacious (loved the 2 wardrobes with plenty of hangars), comfortable and had everything we needed. Decor is a little dated but fitted perfectly with the building style. Loved the pool area with the indoor and outdoor pool and seating. 2 small waters are provided free daily in the rooms and there are water refill stations in the hotel for those who have brought their own refillable bottles. We didn’t have our own refillable bottles and were a little shocked at the cost of bottled water in the room mini bar, US 9 dollars did seem very high even in a country where things are expensive. Easily resolved by walking a few minutes to the little kiosk on the main road and purchasing large bottles at less than half the price. The area around the hotel is beautiful- make sure to take advantage of the parkland on the doorstep!

We got room 6311. Beautiful room with fantastic view! King bed was very comfortable, as were the linens and pillows. Plenty of room to set luggage. Small vestibule with hooks for jackets, Nespresso maker, small refrigerator. Closet for clothes and safe. Desk with chair and upholstered chairs with a small table looking over the view. Patio with chairs and table, but sadly, it was either too windy or too rainy to sit out there. Great bathroom, large walk-in shower, bathtub, towel warmer, and separated toilet/bidet room. Sink counter had room for toiletries. We are staying in the newly built Lago Moreno wing. The original hotel looks a bit tired and needing TLC. The walking of the hallways did feel comfortable after the 1st day. And loved looking at all the Georg Artwork on the walls. Cute gift shop with very friendly clerks. Front desk was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was huge with anything that you needed. And the views from the breakfast room were spectacular. Really enjoyed our 2 nights at Llao Llao.

We stayed at Llao Llao for 2 nights on a recent trip to the Bariloche area in January 2025. The hotel is expensive (especially for Argentina), but after researching other hotels in the area, we realised that the location & views appeared to be the best in the region, so decided to splurge for a couple of nights. We weren't disappointed with our decision & even though it's pricey for the room, the location is amazing & as they say it's location, location, location! We opted for one of the more recently renovated superior rooms, after seeing travellers photos & reading not so good reviews of the older rooms and were pleased we paid the bit extra for the superior room. It was nicely decorated, fresh & clean and the views of the lake were lovely. All of the staff were very professional & speak good English and the included breakfast was actually one of the best we had on our trip. There was a fantastic selection of breads, fruits, yoghurts, pastries and eggs to order. The coffee was also pretty decent too! As mentioned before, the grounds & landscaping of the hotel are what really set it apart, with beautiful views over the surrounding lagos & montanas. There are both indoor & outdoor swimming pools with great views & all activities are included, which we didn't realise until we got there & were pleasantly surprised to find out. This includes, push bikes, archery, kayaks etc. We borrowed bikes for one day of our stay & used them to cycle around Circuito Chico, which is a beautiful 16 mile (25km) circuit around the lakes. There are some fairly steep hills, but you will be stopping every kilometre to take photos of the surroundings, so it's not as bad as it sounds! We also stopped at the Patagonia brewery halfway around & enjoyed a cold beer & glass of vino overlooking the lakes. You can also easily walk to the start of the Cerro Llao Llao trail in about 10-15 minutes from the hotel & from there walk for a couple of hours up to the top of the hill & also down to the lakeside and back if you wish. The walk is beautiful through bamboo & fir forests & when you get to the top the views are stunning across the lakes & mountains! We ate dinner at the hotel both nights; one night in one of the Argentinean restaurant which does steaks & also pasta and the other night we ate in the bar area for a change. The food was pretty good quality but very expensive for what you get. The quite average burger I had in the bar on the second night was GBP25 & a 500ml Quilmes lager £10 a glass! Some of it is the inflation in Argentina at the minute to be fair & the exchange rate, but of course the hotel prices are also inflated, which is to be expected given the location & reputation of the hotel. Anyway nothing to complain about really, just something to bear in mind if you are on a budget. Overall we had a lovely stay at Llao Llao & were pleased we decided to splurge to stay there, even if sadly it was just for a couple of nights in a beautiful part of the world.

it's incredible that they charge you almost 10 bucks for a 500ml bottle of water, when there's no supermarket or anything within miles, otherwise, rooms are pretty good, food is good (overly expensive but good), breakfast is solid, they have activities (i didn't do any since i stayed inside my room the entire trip)

The resort is absolutely GORGEOUS beyond belief and I loved learning about the history of the resort from our bike trip guides. We stayed there one night on our bike trip and most of us agreed that the rooms were shabby and we much preferred Alma Suites where we stayed the night before near downtown Bariloche. I know we were in a lower category room but it had stained carpet and we were on the 5th floor which had low ceilings and slanted ceilings so I kept hitting my head. The breakfast was gorgeous but again it's all show, no substance. If you need to stay here spend the money for a good room OR save your money, stay at Alma Suites (just gorgeous on the lake), nice breakfast and inexpensive and go to the Llao Llao for golf or for a drink (nice lobby bar). Our friends also loved Charming Hotel in Bariloche they said it was luxurious for only $300/night. Sorry Llao Llao but no excuse you need to have clean carpet or you are not a quality operation.
