Arena Maipu Tours and Activities

This is a hidden gem. The staff could not have been more warm and welcoming. They treated us like family. Dinners were top notch and so much fun interacting with the chef and staff. The team helped us plan a day trip to Cordon de Plata. They even filled our water bottles for the road. The setting was majestic. The drive in was in more gravel road than expected, but totally doable and worth the ride. Hope to come back some day.

A beautiful place in the mountains but close to the city - a lovely happy stay. It has a gym despite the hotels.com listing not showing that. I wish the listing did show that cos it would have helped me book this place sooner. Also a paddle court. The indoor heated pool isn't big enough to swim, which was a bit disappointing. The water, and the room where the pool is weren't very warm. The staff turned on the air con unit that heats but no actual heat ever came out. The sauna wasn't at full temperature - I was in there 20 minutes before I started to sweat a little. Breakfast is included and poached eggs were great. They lay out musili but not the milk or yoghurt to go with it - this can be requested. A couple more options of cereal would be nice. In the main restaurant, you get a nice complimentary empanada and plenty bread. The meals are large so consider sharing. It's also not cheap. You may need to reserve as the restaurant is open to general public. We were advised not to drink the tap water. Water is then sold in small bottles. No shops nearby for cheaper water. Should be some complimentary. Great that there are hiking options. Info about the place is largely phone/whatsapp driven, which is fine and useful sometimes but I'd also like to have the option of paper-based. I often go away to relax to spend less time on my phone and don't want to WhatsApp and find info on my phone. The extra activities listed are pretty expensive. Overall, I recommend.
