Hotel Piscis offers a very comfortable and easy stay at Las Lenas. The resort rates it as 5 star, but I’m not sure who came up with that rating because it’s definitely not that ritzy.

The hotel wasn’t ski-in ski-out when we visited because there wasn’t enough snow.

The Good
- The evening meals were a highlight of our stay. Even though there was only a small choice of menu items for each course and the menu only changed a little each day, many of the courses were absolutely exquisite.
- A good range of reasonably priced wines was available with dinner – much better than drinking the water which cost just as much as the wine
- The ski valet staff were very friendly.
- The outdoor pool offered nice views across the mountains.
- The hotel staff provided reasonably good service (for Argentina).
- It was nice that our boots were stored on a boot dryer overnight.
- The shower had good hot water (which is something you don’t take for granted in South American hotels).

The Not So Good
- Staying here was very expensive – luckily we enjoyed the evening meals (and the amazing ski terrain!)
- The rooms were OK but rather dated and they need a major update. For example the cupboard was all scratched, the toilet dripped constantly, the beds were uncomfortable, the manchester on the beds was of cheap quality, and there was a lot of noise transmission from the adjoining room. BTW the cupboard was really large and they provided only two coat hangers!
- We stayed in a slopeside room and on a couple of nights, the disco music was very loud.
- The maid would leave the balcony doors open every day and besides the fact that it was cold when we returned, we were more worried about security because anyone could wander along the balcony and into our room.
- The breakfast choice was rather disappointing (for a 5 star hotel). There were 2 hot items each day: sloppy scrambled eggs and oily bacon. Otherwise there was a little fruit, cheese, ham, super sweet yoghurt, and a raft of very sweet biscuits and pastries.
- The ski valet service was very peculiar. The information brochure provided to us on check-in stated that the meeting point service would “amaze us”. They had a meeting point near Condor Point with comfortable looking couches, but it wasn’t attended whenever we walked past. I think the concept was that you were supposed to leave your skis there and someone would bring them up to the hotel. In the meantime someone could very easily steal them. It definitely amazed us! Then if you walked your own equipment up to the hotel (which I have absolutely no problems with) the staff expected you just to leave your skis in a rack. There was no room allocation and the staff didn’t store them in a back room – once again, anyone could have stolen the skis.
- The outdoor hot tub looked like it’s had better days.
