the hotel had a superb location on the lake and food at the hotel was very good, albeit expensive. Its not 5*though, rooms are clean and comfortable but by their design are dark and no views from junior suites unless you step outside on to youterrace. Staff friendly and helpful and no problem finding a sunbed. There were around 5 restaurants within walking distance of the hotel, none of them special but food was okay and prices more in line with what you expect to pay on a lakeside location. The ferry terminal is a 5 minute walk away, but limited to go the Sirmione and Garda. Taxis can be hard to get, dont use Uber, they dont have a ful license to operate in Italy apparently, but hotel concierge Marco was helpfuland managed to find taxis for us. All in all we had a great time in Garda and the hotel, for us, was nice and peaceful.

Lovely hotel, with amazing view and Spa

This is a lovely hotel located on the edge of the lake. Ideal stay for a few days, slightly remote so would recommend a car if staying more than 2. Staff were excellent and one of the best hotel breakfasts we have had in a while. Spa is amazing and very relaxing - well worth booking a slot to use this We had an issue or two with our room, but was instantly resolved

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
We had a truly memorable stay at this charming lakeside hotel, where the direct access to the water added a serene and picturesque touch to the experience. The lake views were simply breathtaking, creating an atmosphere of peace and beauty throughout the property. The staff stood out for their attentiveness and warmth, consistently making us feel welcome and cared for. Every request was met with prompt and courteous service. Breakfast offered everything you could want to start the day off right, including freshly cooked eggs and omelettes made to order—always a nice touch. The hotel’s restaurants were a highlight, with gourmet dishes presented artfully and tasting just as amazing as they looked. The only downside was the air conditioning in the bedroom, which struggled to cool effectively and made falling asleep a bit difficult during warmer nights. With such high standards elsewhere, we hope this gets resolved soon. The pool area was spotless, with fresh towels always available and plenty of staff to ensure everything ran smoothly. The pool bar was another delightful feature, offering great service and a wide selection of drinks that kept us refreshed all afternoon. Overall, a fantastic stay with just a small caveat. We'd happily return, and maybe pack a mini fan just in case

Liked it so much we went back.

The staff was very attentive and friendly. At check in they insisted on taking our bags to our room and escorted us to go over the amenities and answer questions. The grounds were beautiful and peaceful. We particularly liked the pool and sculptures around the landscape.we also liked that they are right on the lake but separated from the public walk. Our favorite part of the experience was our waiter Michael. He made the experience very special. We liked everything so much that we returned 3 nights later on our way back to Milan. We had our best night there with Michael as our waiter again. We have shared the experience with our friends and family. We can’t say enough good things about our experience at the resort.

Overall, A Nice and Relaxing Break

Nice and relaxing stay in the Splendido Bay. Breakfast was delightful, Spa treatments were fabulous although indoor pool and spa area was closed for renovations, room and hotel was lovely and clean although completely overpriced, Pool and lake access was lovely. Reception staff not of a 5* standard. Not very helpful at all. Lunch was very poor and staff were quite pushy.

Ok hotel but not five star quality

This was a nice hotel, but not five-star quality. Restaurant service was very slow for dinner, wine did not arrive in time, getting a bill was almost impossible. There was no service, towels or drinks available at the outdoor pool by 5pm. The jacuzzi in the indoor spa was not working properly. Staff was not as attentive as they should at this price range. However, location was nice by the lakeside, boats to Sirmione leave by the hotel, and the rooms are nice and clean

Very disappointing

We were on our honeymoon and it wasn’t even acknowledged, they actually put us in a room above the kitchen and restaurant which was noisy up until midnight. There was no air conditioning and we couldn’t open the window because of all of the noise beneath us. We were treated completely differently to Chinese and German guests staying there and it was obvious they wouldn’t give us the time of day. They provided these other guests with nicer rooms and better service. I complained about the room and also that the restaurant offering room service being closed on our first night (after a 9hr drive!) we were told to eat I. Their expensive posh restaurant or go out and get pizza!
