As Matt told us, Patagonia lodging knowledge is actually more important than knowing BA, in some ways. For instance, in BA if you get stuck in a dodgy hotel you can check out and be checked into a new location within the hour. In Patagonia, you could be 1,000 clicks from the nearest alternative location--so pay attention. If you have a specific question about Patagonia accommodations, <a href="mailto:tips@hotelchatter.com"><b>hit us on the tipline</b></a>, or just comment below, and we will do our best to get you some sort of answer.

It has been impressing visitors ever since with its timber log interior and panoramas of the lakes and snow-capped mountains. The highlight is a heated infinity swimming pool that blends the outdoor with the indoor, allowing guests to swim out and breathe in the mountain air Tim L. 2006-07-05T13:58:26-05:00 San Carlos de Bariloche: WiFi Heaven: Llao Llao http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2006/4/10/104255/879 [Ed. Note: Our Best and Worst WiFi stories stuck to the continental U.S. but we've been getting some tips about access abroad. Our first is in Argentina. Enjoy]

The Llao Llao Hotel and Resort in Bariloche, Argentina has very good wi-fi service.  The front desk provides you with a password and detailed directions (in Spanish and English) on how to connect to the network.  The signal was strong in my room on the second floor, but I did not test it in other parts of the hotel, such as the pool.
