Alvaro is very friendly and helpful and the views from the room are very nice.
That said, I should note that the access to the room is difficult from the road: one must walk over mud (I take it would be over snow, had it snowed more during the season). Also, if there is enough snow during the season, one could leave the room and come back skiing, but it was not the case during my visit. The lift that would have taken us to the ski station was not working and the slope we could ski back to the room was not in great shape therefore, without a car, one must arrange private transportation to the ski station or arrive by car. The heating in the room is gas fueled and therefore, for safety reasons, one should not leave it on during the whole night.
Anyway, we skied in El Colorado and it was great (could have been much better with more snow) and Alvaro's place is a small cozy room one can spend the night between the skiing days.
