The location of El Refugio Pirámides is ideal! Walking distance to everywhere. The owner is fantastic, he gave us lots of tips about the area. And our room was super comfortable! Loved it and and would highly recommend.

“Great stay, great location, super helpful host”

Great hospitality, great location, wonderful breakfast with medialunas, donuts and more.

Excellent hospitality and location

“Great host!”

Kako was a fab host and super helpful in connecting me with friends of his for whale toura and a tour of the peninsular. It is a very remote place and small community- was lovely to feel part of it even for a short visit!

“Excellent value for a money and a great Peninsula Valdes base!”

The room was lovely and cozy and the location was excellent (convenient to whale watching). The staff were exceptionally friendly and made the experience even better.

Kako the host is incredibly helpful for sorting out excursions and making you feel at home. The rooms are great value and really comfortable.

“Great option to stay in the peninsula”

Our host was really friendly and gave great recommendations. The room is comfortable and very spacious. Located in a beautiful small town, close to nature and some nice cafes and resteraunts close by. Highly recommend for people who want to stay within the peninsula and love marine life

Big comfortable room with mini fridge, microwave and electric kettle.Great value for money!!

Location, had the needed for the night

“A great stay for a whale watching fan”

I absolutely loved this place! El Refugio is a quiet, clean and cozy guest house some 200 metres away from the ocean. The inner yard  boasts really curious wooden ethnic-themed decorations. The rooms are quite spacious and, apart from the essentials, have a heater, a fridge, and a microwave. If you wish to dine outside, places to eat and drink are a few steps away. As are whale watching tours.  My special thank you goes to the owner who is friendly, speaks good English and, as a local, knows every single bit of Valdés. I am personally grateful to him and his wife for showing me parts of the peninsula that no tourist guides ever mentioned. Be sure to ask the owner about whale watching or places to  see penguins or seals! If you travel to Patagonia, don't miss the town of Puerto Pirámides. It's a small lovely town on the edge of peninsula Valdés famous for its marine mammal sightings. And if you opt for staying at El Refugio Pirámides, you *will* have a very good time.

“A wonderful time in Piramides! The village has every thing you need for a few days with the wildlife”

Roberto was immensely generous with his time and helpful - he helped me arrange boat tours, lent me his bike and even drove me to the sea lion colony so I could see it myself (I didn’t have a car). Thank you for your kindness and hospitality!

“perfect!”

Very nice spacious apartments at a great location. We really loved our stay in el Refugio. The host really was amazing, he gave us a lot of great advice on what to do in the area and most importantly when my girlfriend forgot a phone in the apartment he did everything he could and a friend of his brought the phone to the airport, it was amazing!!!

“Perfect slice of paradise!”

We absolutely loved our time at this property! The owner was so friendly and helpful to us with our time there. We arrived on a holiday so there were no buses but he kindly asked a friend to pick us up for us. They were too, very kind and the next day took us a tour of the peninsula 😃 The place was clean and well kept. Breakfast was a selection of pastries and coffee and tea! Would 100 % recommend to anyone!

“Home away from home”

An amazing spot to stay in Puerto Piramides. Kako was an excellent host, helping to organise a successful last minute whale watching trip at the very end of the season, get fuel for our car during a nationwide system error at the gas stations and even showing us a skunk he had spotted close to his house. All of his advice and recommendations were fantastic and he is also full of interesting conversations and stories! The accomodation was wonderful. You won't get a spotless hotel, but the whole place is full of charm and character. We had a huge but cosy room that felt more like an entire apartment. The shared kitchen had everything we needed to cook and the breakfast was great if you like decadent pastries! The location is close to everything you need in Puerto Piramides - shops, restaurants, tour operators (whale watching etc.) and only a 10 minute drive to the start of the roads through the Valdes Peninsula NP. The accomodation was very reasonably priced compared to many of the options available in Puerto Piramides. I would consider it fantastic value for money, especially considering the location. I would definitely recommend El Refugio Piramides to anyone visiting the Valdes Peninsula. If quickly felt like home to us, in fact we loved it so much we stayed for two night longer than planned!

“A perfect stay in the land of the whales”

Kako is a beautiful person, he picked us up in Puerto Madryn and organized our short stay in Pirámides with friendship and lovingness. You will enjoy your stay there for sure !

Confortable rooms, great atmosphere. Kako was so kind making me few at home right from the start.
