Fodor's Expert Review Termas Puyehue Wellness and Spa Resort

Ruta 215, Km 76, Puyehue, Los Lagos, 5360000, Chile

This grandiose stone-and-wood hot springs resort sits on the edge of Parque Nacional Puyehue. It's an enormous hotel, with three restaurants, four bars, a movie theater, bowling alley, and a long slate of activities from darts to skiing to tennis, in addition to the thermal pools. The rooms and common areas here are a mix of starkly modern and 19th-century Germanic features like chrome, hardwoods, and even some modern art. While you may opt for a lower room rate with just breakfast included, the best bet may be the hotel's all-inclusive rate, which includes meals, drinks, excursions, and use of the pools and thermal baths in the price of the room (rates drop dramatically outside of summer months). The hotel also offers an all-day pass to use the springs and pools, with meals included, if you prefer not to stay overnight. 

PROS

  • restaurants, bars, and activities on-site
  • thermal pools
  • all-inclusive benefits

CONS
