2023 Travelers' Choice Best of the Best
Charming Luxury Lodge & Private Spa, built on the bluff of a cliff, delights with panoramic vistas of Lake Nahuel Huapi and the Andes mountains range. The lodge's wood and stone work is reminiscent of a small alpine village. The large balconies of each residence and suite are suspended over the bluff. Just below, the waves crash upon Playa Bonita and the sides of the cliff. The hotel's interior is just as unique. Total comfort is offered in the Private Spas that form part of each suite. One can choose between a dry sauna, a double jacuzzi with ozonetherapy and an LCD TV, a scottish shower, and a finnish shower with aromacolor therapy. Each of these options are integrated into each suite, allowing the guest total control over his or her relaxation. Charming is a place designed to astonish its guests with its beauty, luxury, tranquility, comfort, unforgettable views, and amiable service.

Reviews Summary
This summary was created by AI, based on recent reviews.
Powered by AI
Charming Luxury Lodge & Private Spa is heralded by guests for its exceptional service and prime location near Nahuel Huapi Lake, nestled in the heart of the village. The lodge exudes a cozy, cabin-style ambiance with upscale amenities, though some guests point out inconsistencies in quality. While the spacious rooms with private spas and impressive lake views are a highlight, a few travelers have noted they could use some updating. Despite varying opinions on value, influenced by occasional noise and amenity mismatches, the overall cleanliness and luxurious touches, like jetted tubs and fine dining, are well-regarded.

Escondido, California173 contributions119 helpful votes
This is a very comfortable place to stay on the lake, 40 or 45 minutes from the airport.. The staff was wonderful and greeted us with a welcoming drink, and the first night we were there we ate at the restaurant “Stag” and it was fantastic. I can’t tell you about the whole menu, but we all had trout and it was fantastic. The breakfast was varied wort fruit, yogurt breads, and eggs and waffles were made to order, coffee, specialty coffee, and tea. The front desk was very helpful ordering taxis so we could go out to dinner and not have to worry about driving. They’re also very helpful about recommending restaurants as well. The only downside to this stay was that the outdoor spa never worked and I could not figure out how to get the dry sauna working. Other than that it was a wonderful stay and I would definitely stay there again.

This is an outstanding hotel, perfectly situated, overlooking the beautiful lake in Bariloche. The accommodations and amenities are fantastic. Our room included a sauna, steam shower, and a whirlpool bath for two overlooking the lake. The team at the hotel is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast selection is comprehensive and you can order egg and omelette dishes.

Somerset, United Kingdom63 contributions38 helpful votes
The setting of the hotel is wonderful, overlooking lake and mountains. The individual chalet-style rooms were lovely - ours had a sauna and an aromatherapy steam shower!! The catering for both breakfast and dinner was excellent. We enjoyed a rather unusual ( by Swiss parameters), but excellent fondue one night. We also enjoyed a birthday dinner in the Little Stag treehouse. W My only concern is that the substantial new wing to the hotel, which will almost double the capacity, and is due to be completed in a year or so, may spoil the intimacy and boutique feel to the experience.

The main hotel building is currently a building site except for the restaurant. All rooms are in cabins in the grounds. These are very tired and dated and dark. No sockets for charging - we had to unplug the microwave before we could charge our phones. Restaurant was good with the "pet" Caracaras entertaining! Excellent and very helpful staff.

Dear RichardbN4821MO We appreciate your contribution by writing this review although we find it redundant to write it twice since you made a contribution on February 5 and repeated it on February 16. We take this opportunity to tell you that there are many sockets in the rooms, we are sorry that you did not see them or asked the receptionist for help. We are also sorry that, with such large windows, you found the room dark. Kind regards

Smaller boutique hotel sitting on a cliff overlooking the spectacular 50 mile long Lago Nahuel Huapi. comfortable, clean well appointed rooms with large soak tub, in suite steam and dry saunas. We had a private deck area with a view of the lake and beach below. Dinners were delicious and service superb. Unique treehouse dining available that looked like a lot of fun for a small group.

Wonderful summer experience. Beautiful views, spacious well equipped rooms and friendly staff. A dip in the lake is well worthwhile even if “muy frio”!! A lovely walk past the beach (stones) and by the lake. I’m still coming to grips with 30c day time temperatures whilst a back drop has snow and glaciers. We loved our stay and will return if we are in this part of the world again.

The setting of this hotel is stunning, overlooking the Nahuel Huapi Lake, and several km away from the downtown. The staff was very friendly and our room was clean. The breakfast was good and the dinner at The Stag was very good. The average rating is because the lodge feels very dated. The hot tub and pool were not working properly and not as clean as they could be. For a luxury hotel, you would not expect this or to find plastic lounge chairs by the pool or plastic chairs on your terrace. Another thing to keep in mind is that there is no real space to congregate indoors. That may seem picky but it's something to keep in mind.

The hotel location is absolutely stunning with views that cannot be matched. Rooms are spacious and have a private spa that I’m not sure is that convenient. The reason for the 3 starts is the pool/spa facilites are completely inadequate for this category hotel. An old spa that is somewhat warm as a hot tub. Also, the plastic lounge chairs do not match the hotel quality or pricing. An upgrade in this area is needed. The breakfast was great as was the quality of the restaurant for dinner.

Mendoza, Argentina165 contributions91 helpful votes
When reading scores of reviews from travelers who have such a pleasant experience when staying at a hotel and end the review in the final sentence " We or I " will return or Stay again ".... I did just THAT! My second visit to the hotel and third visit to the restaurant. I have stayed at the other five star LUXURY Hotels in Bariloche and Charming is the best choice. WHY: The Hotel property affords the guest different panoramic dimensional views. The rooms are unique unlike any other Hotel rooms in Bariloche. Read the room descriptions about private spa in your room ( dry sauna, aromatic steam shower, oversized Jacuzzi with huge windows facing the lake). The beds are oversized and the bedding is a premium. Some rooms have wood burning fire place. The pool and pool deck is full sun all day, the outside jacuzzi can be adjusted to your hot temperature as you like with adjacent dry sauna. They do offer beverage service. If you prefer the beach and lake water, simply walk down the path to the private gate and you are lake side. Outside vendors provide water activities such as paddle board or kayak and informal cafe further down on the beach front... at a minimum, its a very pleasant walk. The staff are all well trained and the front desk is equipped to field guest service requests and assist with any and all suggestions or recommendations. In short... when you process and preview the Hotel amenities, Panoramic views, location and consistency of guest care, restaurant reviews both breakfast and dinner this is the Hotel to stay and enjoy with out leaving for a couple of days.... So take from me, if you want to smile from sun up to sun down... enjoy your stay at Charming Luxury Lodge 😁
