When planning your vacation in Merlo, the first thing you search for is "cabins in Merlo San Luis." We get it. But before booking, you should know that not all accommodations are the same, and the difference can completely change your experience.
In this guide, we'll explain the real differences between a cabin, a chalet, and a country house, so you can make the best decision for your trip.
Cabin: The Classic Option
What is it? A small, typically wooden unit within a resort complex. Usually 1-2 bedrooms with basic amenities.
Advantages: Lower initial price, some shared amenities (pool, parking), can meet other travelers.
Disadvantages: Shared spaces, limited privacy, noise from neighbors, often small, limited cooking facilities.
Chalet: The Middle Ground
What is it? A larger standalone unit, usually 2-3 bedrooms. More privacy than a cabin but may still share some resort amenities.
Advantages: More space, better privacy, often better equipped kitchen.
Disadvantages: May still share pool/common areas, can vary significantly in quality.
Country House (Casa Quinta): The Complete Experience
What is it? A complete private property with large grounds, private pool, outdoor areas, and all amenities exclusively for your group.
Advantages:
- 100% privacy - no neighbors, no shared spaces
- Private pool exclusively for your group
- Large outdoor areas (6,000m² at Solar de los Pájaros)
- Complete kitchen and living spaces
- Better value per person for groups
- True home-away-from-home experience
The Real Cost Comparison
Here's what most people don't consider: when you calculate the total cost per person, a country house often comes out equal or cheaper than multiple cabin rooms.
Example for a family of 6:
- 2 cabins at resort: $X per night × 2 = $2X total, shared pool, no outdoor space
- 1 Country House: $1.8X per night total, private pool, 6,000m² of park, complete privacy
Plus, with a full kitchen, you save significantly on eating out.
Solar de los Pájaros: The Country House Advantage
When you choose Solar de los Pájaros, you get:
- 6,000m² of private parkland
- Your own pool and jacuzzi
- Panoramic mountain views from your property
- 3 bedrooms for up to 8 people
