We were stunned by the standard of the cosy log cabins which provide everything you could need for a comfortable stay. El Calafate can be very cold so the cabins have efficient heaters, which you can set at a level comfortable for you. The cabins were spotless and breakfast was delicious; all at a reasonable rate. The Staff were charming... More

Santa Monica Aparts offers wonderful accommodations at an amazing price. The log cabins are spacious and provide ample space for sleeping and relaxing after a day of hiking. The rooms were very clean and well-maintained. The staff were extremely helpful with setting up dinner reservations and other requests. The property is located very close to the center of El Calafate... More

They are the dream house from the fairy tales I read in my childhood. The recepsionists are lovely who made us felt at home. Especially the beautiful Colombiana,... More

Everything you read about the cabin suites the expectations and even more. Also Argentinian Breakfast was great. You'r gonna love it!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the cabin. The cabins are well appointed, and spotless clean. The kitchen is a bonus, and has every thing you need if you desire to cook. Very short walk to the main street and supermarket. No complaints at all. Staff are very helpful. Will stay again.
