Aqualux Hotel Spa Suite & Bardolino

Just returned from the most relaxing week despite arriving in a heatwave! As the previous review said, we also arrived early and sat for hours in the hotel lobby not quite knowing what to do. It would be nice to be given pool towels on arrival, and maybe someone show you where to change and get a snack and drink. Although there is an area to leave luggage this is not secure so we still had rucksacks with valuables in to carry around. That said, from the moment we entered our room we had the most amazing week. The hotel is classy without being too stuffy - families are welcome and there is a great atmosphere of all ages and nationalities round the pool. Always a sunbed - we had our favorite spot every day. The pools are the best I've ever had the pleasure to use. 6 of 8 were available, and we spent hours cooling off from the heat of a scorching sun. The water was maintained perfectly, beautifully clean and the perfect temperature. The staff really take care over the surroundings for your enjoyment and comfort, from the grounds, pool staff, restaurant, housekeeping and reception. As it was a special occasion for us, a surprise treat was delivered which really pleased us so big thank you. Would we stay again? In a heart beat....have already looked for next year :)

Stayed for 10 days in June. Pools were incredible and plenty of sun loungers for guests. Spa was lovely and massage was amazing. Breakfast was incredible — the best hotel breakfast I’ve ever had. Reception staff very polite and helpful. Location is brilliant — close enough to town but not too noisy. The grounds are beautiful and well-kept. Only had Bed & Breakfast but paid for BBQ night and ‘Grand Buffet’. Great selection and high-quality food. Went for a pool view room. Was spacious, clean and well-maintained. Only improvement would be the air conditioning (not strong enough) and the shower (very hot and cold).

Hotel Aqualux was a fantastic place to stay! The rooms were spacious, spotless, and very comfortable, and the entire building was exceptionally well maintained. The staff were friendly and attentive, always greeting us warmly. The spa was another highlight—clean, modern, and often very peaceful. We were often the only ones using the pool and saunas, which made it feel like a private retreat. This trip was for my husband’s birthday, and we were greeted in the room to a bottle of Prosecco and some macarons, which was a lovely surprise. The location is perfect, just a 5-minute walk to the lovely town of Bardolino, where you’ll find plenty of shops, restaurants, and bars. Highly recommend this hotel for a relaxing and refreshing stay in Italy!

Our first time in lake Garda and we booked through Jet 2 holidays. Our flight was early in the morning so we arrived early. Our room wasn’t ready so we asked where we could get a coffee and we were directed to the pool bar. Later in the afternoon after wandering round we asked again still not ready, this time we were given the opportunity to get two pool towels to sunbathe while waiting. |My advice is take a swimming bag with you on top of your luggage. There is so many areas in the hotel to chill out we were just not made aware of them. This is the ONLY criticism of the hotel. Communication is all via scanning their app or finding it on TV in your room. Staff are very pleasant. |Our room was lovely overlooking the garden. Well done to our cleaners who work hard every day to keep a high standard. |Breakfast is plentiful and a wide choice. |We ate one evening in the hotel which was lovely. We had checked the menu in advance as it changes. |Pools and relaxation is what this hotel is about and it works. We relaxed very quickly. |It’s a ten minute walk into the town. Lovely shops, restaurants and bars. Plenty of ferry services to digest at leisure. Walks all around the lake. |We will return perhaps a little earlier as it was hot and getting busy.

The hotel was top notch 15/10, breakfast perfect 10/10, fine dining didn't go well at all with meal choices (am from the UK) so found it hard to survive on tiny portions. Staff were friendly, polite, and very helpful and made you feel comfortable. The wellness area was spacious, and the outdoor area had enough space for everyone. Gym facilities. Rooms we're cleaned daily with fresh bedding and towels. Close to many restaurants, information centre, and bus stop. When checking out we realised we had been billed for every water that was served to us on our stay with our dinner, which didn't make sense, so do advise yourself and your guess.

We liked|1. The location, a 10 minute stroll to Bardolino|2. In the evening it was quiet. |3.We had interconnected rooms|4.The pool bar restaurant staff were really friendly and the food was enjoyable. |5. The outdoor pools are great and the lazy river was fun. No-one really used the indoor pools they felt a bit dark and gloomy. |6. Breakfast was good but basic and the hotel has coffee machines which always give a budget feel to me with no personal touch. ||We didn’t like|1. No WiFi in the rooms. |2. A bit of a trek up and down stairs to get pool towels they operate a ticket system you get one ticket per person and swap your ticket for a towel. |3. The bed linen wasn’t changed at all during our stay. |4. The wardrobe door broke twice during our stay. |5. Guests reserved sun beds by the pool by putting towels on them, there was a policy about this but it wasn’t enforced. |6. The sun bed area very crowded and offered very little shade so come afternoon we retreated to our room. |7. There was no life to the hotel in the evening the “sparkling lounge” was completely dead. |8. I booked a massage and arrived to find my therapist was male I was ok with this and Matteo was fantastic but I feel I should have been asked if this was ok as some women would not be comfortable with a male masseuse. |9. The water in the minibar was not free it was €3.50 per bottle so guests were filling up their water bottles at breakfast. |10. The rooms are quite dated and the massive round bed takes up a lot of room and made us laugh we called it the Hugh Hefner bed. |11. You are charged for ice in your drink at the pool bar.

My husband booked this hotel as a birthday surprise for me for 4 nights. It was out of season so was quiet and relaxing. The Saturday was much busier in the spa and restaurant however. The hotel is located about a 10 minute walk from old town. A couple of places were open but it was just lovely and peaceful. We were able to hop on a bus on 2 days to visit neighbouring areas Garda and Lazise. |The restaurant food quality and choice was brilliant and breakfast buffet was delicious and not forgetting the staff. Friendly and attentive. Lovely to have the spa facilities when the weather was a bit chilly and drizzly.

Nice hotel. Had been here before this time was surprised at the lack of "extra care" Really think a hotel like this (and of the standard they seem to aspire to) should provide free still and sparkling water. Disappointing as then everyone was filling water bottles at breakfast..Having come here from another hotel in Verona it was hard not to compare.. sadly didn't give any "human" touch but maybe the Aqualux Spa would really rather cater to corporate visitors. I would also add that asking reception staff to book a cab for a meeting the next day to be told "no need" should be taken with a pinch of salt. A very stressful bus ride ( as actually no cabs available) next morning narrowly missed a huge financial disaster.
