HOTEL OVERVIEW

So you know how most hotels in the mountains feel either too rustic or weirdly corporate? Tres Continentes actually gets the balance right. I mean, the location alone – you’re basically on the road to El Volcán in San José de Maipo, which sounds dramatic but honestly, it’s this perfect spot where you can still get decent cell service (most of the time) while feeling properly removed from Santiago’s chaos.

The thing that struck me first was how quiet it gets at night. Not dead quiet – you’ll hear the Maipo River if you listen for it, and sometimes there’s this gentle wind that moves through the valley. The rooms are solid for a 4-star place, nothing fancy but they’ve got those thick curtains that actually block out the morning sun, which is clutch if you’re trying to sleep in after a day of hiking. The heating works well too, and trust me, you’ll want that once the sun goes down – even in summer, it gets properly cool up here. Check-in was smooth when I went, though I’d call ahead during ski season because the staff mentioned things get pretty hectic then.

What really won me over was the breakfast situation. They do this spread with local stuff – real manjar, not the processed kind, and bread that’s clearly from somewhere nearby. The coffee’s actually good, which honestly surprised me because mountain hotels can be hit or miss with basics like that. You can eat outside on the terrace when weather permits, and the view stretches across the valley in this way that makes you want to linger over your second cup. The staff genuinely knows the area too – they pointed me toward this hiking trail that doesn’t show up on most tourist maps, and it ended up being the highlight of my trip. Parking’s easy, by the way, which matters more than you’d think when you’re dealing with mountain roads and rental cars. The whole place has this laid-back vibe that feels authentically Chilean rather than trying to be some international mountain resort. It’s the kind of spot where you end up staying an extra night because leaving feels like too much effort, and I mean that in the best possible way.

Cabin was very comfortable, lots of room, comfortable beds, well furnished, kitchen quite complete, strong reliable WiFi, great river view from deck. A few small issues were dealt with quickly by staff. Pools were clean. grandkids liked the games room and trampoline.

Beautifully crafted little lodge in the middle of a forest wilderness. The sound of the river nearby adds to the tranquility of the place.

Perfect location for many activities around the region.
The children loved the pool and games room, we would definitely return!

What could be improved: There could have been a few more utensils in the kitchen, as we chose to cook most evenings.

The location was great! We drove into the mountains and enjoyed a hot spring. Great little shops and food everywhere. The cabin had wifi, and the beds were comfortable.

What could be improved: It was great, but maybe a couple of updates are needed for smaller children. We had to keep our littlest away from the stairs and bunk bed ladder. It would be nice if the ladder came off.

Beautiful cottage with an amazing back garden!
We’ve absolutely loved it. The architecture of the house is beautiful, very artistic.

What could be improved: There were a few things that would help to equip the house slightly better, like having clothes hunger, a better shower ! We did not enjoy the showers.

We were lucky to have the place for our own, so we used the pool and the guy in reception was always pending for us. The cottage is clean and the place has a nice atmosphere

What could be improved: well unfortunately we had no hot water in the shower and the seats of the table to eat are not really confortable for a nice dinner.

The cabin design is very neat. I found it very clean too and good location

What could be improved: The host/hosts do not speak English so making it hard to explain the bill payment as their credit card machine wasn’t working. We tried again at end of trip with 4 different cards. They told us it was our cards. They worked all over chile. I asked the other guests and they had same issue. They used the card on booking.com and overcharged us for 3 hours of late checkout that we had only asked for the cost per hour. Wasted so much time to get this sorted since we tried on 2 attempts. The initial host Wendy was very nice. On our second attempt to pay and checkout, the new host said ok for 1300 , late checkout. Normally at noon. no problem. All 3 of us understood this. But then she changed her mind and said 12. She Would not even consider allowing us to stay the extra hour as a customer courtesy for the days ,hours wasted trying to pay with our cards. Also they were never around. The cleaner is very nice. Wifi didn’t work for a day either. The cabins were very cute. Steep stairs to bedroom though. Good location. Clean.
