Estancia del Carmen

We felt in love with the amazing view and the relaxed atmosphere. There is a great bouldering spot just next to the hotel.

In simple words, a great place to isolate and relax, the rooms are well fitted, good hot water pressure and temperature, and the most, the views from your room windows, and the staff is always attentive to your needs, Daiana at the front desk with all the answers you need, definitely I will come back

Really good view of the lake and mountains. The rooms are ok, but maybe some things are behind on maintenance. The dinner was excellent and flavorful, but breakfast was just the usual sweet breads.

There are no words to describe how beautiful this place is; We really did not want to leave; beautiful views, very clean and the treatment was spectacular. We love it and we will come back.|Thank you foer everything.

Except the view of the hotel nothing was at place. Very poor management. The room was not cleaned for 3 days. Breakfast was served as coffee and bread interestingly bread was served without any butter or jam or jam nothing. How did they expect us to have breakfast. The receptionist was so cold that he didn't bother you stay or leave. Nothing briefed when you arrived. Every information to me was a surprise. I would never recommend anyone to stay in the place. The place is dirty , ill maintained rude staff no service and very far off from centre of town

I booked it through Miles&Mores reward system, when I arrived they didn’t have my booking in the system. The staff doesn’t speak English at all, so it was quite difficult to understand each other. In the end they found the reservation and prepared the room, afterwards, of course the receptionist was very kind and apologized for the inconveniences. I booked this hotel because originally it said it’s a spa but actually you cannot book any treatments so I had to go to an other hotel. The hotel needs renovation badly, although the view is indeed superb. It is also quite far from everything, so you must consider this only if you arrive by a car. The breakfast os very modest. Bread, butter, jam and scrambled eggs from one egg.

Well, the breakfast was disgusting, there was few choices, and the bread was very fat, almost impossible to eat it. The room has mildew, not good smell as well, not really clean. It was very difficult to use the shower, either very hot or very cold. It was far from the city centre if you want to go there you must spend P$50,00 pesos one way. The view is beautiful over Lago Gutierrez!! But you won´t be sit in front of this view all your vacation. So I don´t consider this point. I don´t recommend this place.

I generally only write very positive reviews as there is far too much negativity on most review sites. With this resort hotel however, some of the reviews on Trip Advisor seem very far from my experience. This review is mixed, but hopefully fair.||||Let me say first, that we ended up at the Estancia del Carman for 3 days on a last minute special, where the actual resort’s name was not revealed until after payment and the description suggested a luxury resort. The location was a negative surprise, as was the rustic character of the place. While my wife and I were at first put off with the general appearance of the resort and the fact that the lake is a 45 minute walk on busy, dusty roads, we really enjoyed our 3 day stay.||||All 19 hotel rooms offer an unobstructed view of Lago Gutierrez and the Cathedral Mountains. Some of the dozen or so cabins offer views; others are set back a bit. The grounds are spacious and treed with a large play area for children.||||The resort staff was welcoming, helpful and spoke enough English to make it easy. As we had no car, we depended on the onsite restaurant that gets some bad reviews on this site. We found the breakfasts tasty and plentiful with bread, croissants, limited cereal choices, cheese and sliced ham as well as rather weak coffee. We ate 3 dinners and one big lunch in the restaurant. Food was at times slow in coming as it is all fresh cooked and generally of good quality. (The “tabla” – a mixed plate for 2 was wonderful for value, taste and presentation.)||||The swimming pool is inside and like most of the resort could use some maintenance and TLC, but it was usable and had a view.||||The spa consists of one small room off the pool with a single table, but my wife and I felt the deep tissue massage we ordered was professional and inexpensive. ||||The resort is 10 km from Bariloche and requires a taxi. The city bus service only runs about every 2 hours. There is no hotel transfer alluded to in an earlier review.||||The hotel rooms are spacious with great views. They do need to be updated and the general maintenance of the grounds could use some additional care. This is an Argentinean family resort. At about $100 USD a night it is good value, if you have a car and want to be away from the hectic pace of Bariloche town. I would not reommend the location without a car.
