Fantastic Breakfast

The breakfast was included in our stay and it was great! It was buffet style with a variety of options. We enjoyed local dishes alongside fresh fruits, which made our mornings good.

Fun for Kids

I loved the children's mini park where my kids had a blast on the inflatable slides. It was a great way for them to play while we relaxed nearby.

Spacious Junior Suite

We stayed in a junior suite that was two levels and offered plenty of space. The beautiful view from the room added to our overall experience. I highly recommend it!

My stay at the hotel was a delightful adventure, surrounded by breathtaking nature and stunning views. The rooms were spacious and clean, offering a wonderful view of the lake and garden. Although the food was slightly pricier than usual, it was well worth it, especially the renowned trout. On the downside, I wished the place had more nearby dining alternatives and that the hotel showed a bit more modern flair. Overall, a fantastic experience!

The Bambito Resort has a stunning location with beautiful grounds and surrounding mountains. However, the interior feels outdated, and the service was lacking during our stay. The rooms were a mixed bag in quality, and overall, we were disappointed with our dining experience, particularly the drinks. Still, the warm water pool was a nice touch for the cooler climate.
