Explora Torres del Paine Patagonia

Explora was our last hotel on our honeymoon in Patagonia, but was unfortunately the least favourite hotel of our trip. We did a few great activities, among which the hike to the Grey Glacier including a catamaran ride over the lake. The spa was also nice, but for this price the hotel was pretty disappointing. The restaurant had canteen vibes in terms of food quality and setting. The bar was just terrible… Slow and severely understaffed, I had to return a cocktail twice because it was undrinkable (an amatetto sour with just amaretto and lemon juice), and they did not know what a gin tonic was. The room was very hot and they were unable to regulate temperature. We could also hear noise from the canteen in our room when we wanted to sleep. On our last morning, when we returned to the airport for a long trip back home, were not even allowed a lunch box. The view on lake Pehoe and the Cuernos was priceless though, which is the only thing that justifies the price of a room in this hotel.

The staff was superb. The food was incredible. The accommodations were perfect. I can’t say enough about the experience. The hikes range from moderate difficulty to significant difficulty but the guides are exceptional and make sure you have a safe and memorable experience.

A fantastic experience that will be remembered as one of the best trips taken. Explora is absolutely first class all the way. The room is modern and clean. The guides were extremely helpful, friendly and accommodating. The food was excellent. Location on Lake Pehoe is beautiful with views of the mountains. This is not an easy place to tour because it is a little remote and not so tourist friendly but the Explora experience was simply most memorable , and enjoyable.

My dream trip. Truly one of the most beautiful hotels and travel experiences. Delicious meals, insightful tour guides and the best hikes and tours. The guides and team have such a passion for their work. The hotel is well designed and love that everything is included and thought of.

Excellent location. Great service. Book other resorts owned by explora near by to have a better experience. Need a better website and ability to interact with individual lodges directly to organise your hikes before arrival. Very helpful staff , attention to details Great food. Have a shop on site in case you forget something .
