AndBeyond Vira Vira

A lovely boutique hotel with incredible attention to detail, gourmet cuisine, dreamy accommodations knowledgeable guides who create a once in a lifetime experience in I shockingly beautiful part of the world. Celebration of 35th anniversary trip.

Absolutely fantastic multigenerational stay. Hacienda was perfect for kids, parents and grandparents. Exceptional food (too much of it!) and super activities - most included everyone but we were able to split up based on interest and activity level. Perfect spring break stay.

My wife and I spent 5 nights at &Beyond Vira Vira and had an excellent experience. Every single employee has clearly been trained to say “yes” when asked if a request could be accommodated. Every single person, from the front desk, to the bar, to the kitchen, to the guides, to the cleaning staff and to the maintenance personnel were friendly and professional. A special shout-out to Isadora. She was our guide for the entire trip. She took us white water rafting, hiking, horseback riding, e-bike riding and a number of other adventures. She even tracked down a restaurant that serves a specific Chilean sandwich that I really wanted to try. She is a great asset to her company and really helped to make our trip special. Vira Vira is a small and intimate place, and we stayed one of their eleven or twelve villas. It was everything we could have asked for. They are situated strategically near a river that borders their property so that every view is of peace and serenity. The excursions we took were tailor made to our requests and abilities. The area around the lodge is beautiful and each activity was something to be remembered. I am not a fan of “all-inclusive”, but it is exceptional and definitely worth it at Vira Vira. The food was expertly prepared by a chef and kitchen staff that take pride in their work. Every single request we made was handled and remembered by the staff. As an example, I do not care for small coffee cups with even smaller handles. They immediately brought me a good size mug with a large handle. At every meal, they remembered and brought that mug automatically. This is but one of the ways they provided exceptional service. I could give any number of examples of how great our experience was, but suffice to say that we were impressed and will be back. Highly recommend.

Beautiful place. Fantastic rooms. Excellent food and wine. Love the water features. Highly recommended. Ski the Volcanoes with Rodrigo and Carlos. Walk the Wildlife. Swim the Lake. Late check out highly appreciated. Thank you. Next time.

Beyond Vira Vira was one of the best hotels we have stayed at. The rooms are gorgeous, the restaurant is delicious, the bartender is the best! The front desk is so accommodating and friendly. The beds and bedding one of the most comfortable I have had at a hotel and the bathroom with heated floors bigger than most apartments. I hope one day to return.

Kind of falling apart, weeds, buildings need minor but consistent maintenence in and out. Peeling paint. Roofing shingles/ trash within view in many places. Tile falling off.. Dead flowers in plnaters. No attention to detail in maintenance. No pool (crazy!). Food was good. Things stored here and there (covered in dust and leaves) in public places (next to the hot tub). Service is friendly but consistent mistakes and poor follow through in restaurant (with exceptions. Constanza was great!). Hotel staff better than restaurant. **Very** expensive for a sub par experience. Not polished AT ALL. Much nicer hotels in Lake region like: Hotel AWA and Futangue. (1/3 and 1/4 the cost!) VV feels like a slowly dying property being milked for all they can get, from a better past, before a demise. Neglected. Vibe is stuffy, and quiet in a sad way. The neighborhood that you enter and exit through is full of dilapidated homes and a motorcycle campground. If the area is so bad/ shabby/ dilapidated, why do people pay so much to stay there?! We talked to some neighbors and they said that they can't comprehend why the visitors pay so much to stay in their area which is the same as VV, but *very* low cost. I agreed that I DO NOT understand the cost. Zero magic. Nothing special (in comparison to competitiors). No great vibes. I feel cheated.
