Patagonia Eco Domes

For what they are, the Eco Domes are fantastic. When we arrived in the afternoon and the rooms were warmed by sunlight I was totally impressed. The room is attractively decorated, the beds were very comfortable, and the bathroom was really impressive given that we were essentially in a highly structured tent. I really enjoyed our breakfasts and dinners there, as well as the packed lunches to go. The location is phenomenal and was just what we were looking for as we wanted to be as immersed as possible in Patagonia. The problem, and why I only gave it 3 stars, was the sleep quality. Once the winds start howling, which they will, the soft covers of the domes start flapping loudly and sometimes frighteningly. Even with earplugs it was disturbing. Our first night we opted for a fire in the stove which certainly warmed the room initially, but overwhelmed us with campfire smell which made it hard to breathe/sleep. We did not tend the fire at night because we wanted the campfire smell gone and of course were exceptionally cold once we got up in the morning (the beds were comfortable and warm). I hardly slept at all that first night. The next night we opted for no fire, which means we were even colder in the morning. As much as I wanted to love these Eco Domes, it was not a comfortable stay.

The eco-domes are in a beautiful setting at the foot of Mount Fitzroy. They are a little out of El Chaten and the location is very peaceful. We had a lovely stay with great food and would like to thank Frederick, Luna and Manu for their wonderful hospitality which made our stay even more special

Great location, wonderful staff and cool experience. You will remember visiting this place, adds a nice touch to a Patagonia trip. So nice to do a am hike and relax in the afternoon with tea. They give a bagged lunch for hikes during the day. A++++ for service, food, location, and most of all staff. They are all truly wonderful!
