A delightful, small hotel with excellent food and service in a beautiful spot near the Andes. The staff could not have been more helpful. The afternoon head clerk was a bulldog advocate for us when we had some challenges with the Hertz rent-a-car people who tried to charge us for extra gas and an additional car pick-up charge on an...

Built in 2000 to refflect a bygone age this is a jewel in the North of Argentina. The family that own this Hotel the Costas also have two other great hotels in the Salta Province. Service is relaxed and slow, but then this is the pace of life here. If you want to snap your fingers go somewhere else the... More

The rooms are comfortable, the bathrooms spotless, the spa area beautiful, the view from the grounds as well. Breakfast is excellent and served in the dining room, which is very elegant and has big windows overlooking the garden and mountains. People who stay here are a bit stiff and hotel staff is less warm than in other places in the... More

Looks promising when you drive up, but the staff is mediocre, never get up from behind the desk. Pretty funny, the internet lounge is behind the front desk and when I was there I looked over and now I can tell the most important thing the front desk people do is surf the internet. Rooms were OK, grounds OK, there... More

We stayed one night (room 18) at El Manantial del Silencio in the mountain village of Purmamarca as part of a two-day tour offered by Tastil and MoviTrack. My overall lasting impression of this hotel is that is designed for upper-class folk looking to get away from it all. For us, it was very nice but a little too up-market.... More

Big well decorated rooms. Large bathroom with all top class amenities. Comfortable bed. All rooms located on ground floor but outside noise doesn't affect the stay. Very good service. Very nice and simple decoration. Outside of hotel is very simple doesn't represent the comfort of the interior. Very comfortable lounge with large armchairs. Next to the pool there's a veranda...

We almost did not arrive here on schedule due to a roadblock by local indigenous people who are in a land dispute with the government. One of our group managed to cross the blockade on foot and jogged the 5 km to the hotel. They provided two cars to return to the site of the blockade, and their staff helped... More

I know that title is rather contradictory but it does have something of the old monastery about it (exactly as it once was) but has large, comfortable communal areas with (in June when we stayed) big log fires burning in the main rooms and restuarant. The dining room is comfortable and smart and the food and wine excellent - is... More

We stayed at this hotel for two nights in March 2011. Unlike some other reviews we found the staff welcoming and helpful. The room was comfortable and had a lovely view of the garden and surrounding landscape. With the window open, we could just hear the river at the end of the gardens. The hotel is situated 5 minutes walk... More
