The highlight of the property is the beautiful pool area, perfectly situated right next to the lake.
The restaurant was excellent, and the breakfast was truly outstanding.
The hotel itself is a bit of a mixed experience. The main entrance feels somewhat dated, and while the rooms are comfortable and have a nice layout, the furnishings are fairly basic.
That said, the incredible pool, lakeside setting, delicious food, and spectacular breakfast more than made up for those shortcomings. Overall, we had a great experience and would happily return for the beautiful outdoor atmosphere and relaxing setting.

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.

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

We had a wonderful stay at Splendido Bay. While everything was great, the highlight was definitely our meals at Il Rivale. We also had lovely walks from the hotel into town. It might be a bit far for some (2.6 miles) but it was a beautiful way to get our daily exercise in. We'll definitely go back!

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.

We loved our stay at Splendido Bay, the location on the lake is beautiful. We enjoyed some fabulous meals, the food in Ravale and Aqua Riva very good, we did feel service could be improved in both these restaurants, a bit more attention to detail was all that was required, for example, the filling of wine glasses and descriptions of food on serving.
Drinks at the bar a high point, served by the fabulous Danilo, an asset to the resort.
Rooms very comfortable and keep to a great standard. Would definitely return.

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!

The pool area was so unique. The pool was very small but the pool area was shaded (much needed as it was 90 degrees). It was more of a quiet hang out area.

The rooms were very clean and the shower, towels and bed were comfortable.

Splendido was Splendid!

This is the best hotel I have stayed in for a long time and although it is not cheap, it was excellent value for money considering its facilities, idylic setting, excellent food and first class staff and service. Parking was, no extra charge and a fabulous breakfast was included in the room rate.

My family had suffered a very poor quality hotel in Santa Margherita only a few days before traveling to Lake Garda so Splendido did much to make up for our earlier disappointment and I will definitely return next year.

Splendid Bay

Our stay at Splendido bay was relaxing with beautiful views across the lake, recently rennovated and new owners to the property has made a big difference. They have added 2 new restaurants and the food is quality, a little overpriced but worth it. Poolside bar is also an addition with afternoon snacks. All staff polite and attentive at all times with no exception spared. Have been to this hotel 4 times, 3 when it was Relais Emilliano and this time as Splendido Bay, and will definitely stay here again

A FANTASTIC family trip to Splendido Bay!!

From the moment you check in at the hotel you are greeted by amazing front of house staff who take care of everything. Friendly, professional and welcoming...

The hotel is a tranquil place but with families and couples... it is definitely 5 STAR - from the picturesque setting to the restaurants and bar and the hotel rooms (we had a 1 bedroom suite).

Unlike so many hotels, we never had to scramble for a lounger by the pool as there is so much space (this was in AUGUST!) There is an outdoor and indoor pool and both are large and immaculate. Our children (8yrs and 6yrs) loved the place and the staff really take the time to make the trip great for kids as well as adults (but there are not too many kids running around - in fact you don't even notice the ones that are there!!)

We ate in the main restaurant twice and the restaurant in the hotel grounds (Il Rivale) and both were top quality. The drinks are also VERY reasonably priced - we are sued to paying Dubai prices so paying 25 euros for a decent bottle of wine was cheap at half the price!

We also hired a boat and the hotel arranged that for us - they picked us up and dropped us back at the hotel.

The hotel offer a shuttle service. You may use this free at certain set times but for 20 euros a night outside the normal times it is worth every penny... we mainly ate in Desenzano which is only 3 miles away and has LOTS of bars, restaurants and shops.... simply call the hotel and they will send the shuttle service for you

A beautiful hotel on the lake

Finding the hotel was very easy as was checking in, helped by an upgrade as soon as we arrived which was much needed as would have been difficult otherwise with a 10m old baby. The hotel staff were very helpful, the food very nice in all restaurants (even room service was a high standard). The swimming pool area/general gardens were very well maintained and whilst I didn't use the spa (only the gym) it also looked very clean and offered lots of treatments. The gym was small and let down by lack of equipment but If you like running machines/ x-trainers then it's fine and rarely used. I believe all the rooms are ground floor, we had a corner plot with a garden facing the Lake, great for a baby wanting to crawl everywhere and also giving you extra privacy if needed. The rooms themselves where nice especially as we had a 2 bed villa with tiny lounge area, this enabled us to put the cot in the 2nd room and having some space left for ourselves.
NOTE: Whilst we didn't have a problem getting our baby to sleep, there is a beachbar/club the other side of the Lake, which despite being a fair distance away generates a lot of noise, it did calm down 10.30pm but we went at the start of the summer so would expect that to get worse or better depends what side of the age bracket your on.

Ich muss sagen das ich enttäuscht war bei einem Hotel, das sich als Luxus Hotel bezeichnet.
Ich hab ein Superior Zimmer gebucht, was im Bereich der Fenster voll war mit weißem und grünen Schimmel. Die Wände waren vollständig durchnässt.

Solche Zimmer zu haben ist die eine Sache, aber tatsächlich dort Gäste quartieren zu wollen ist unverschämt und gesundheitsschädlich. Der Schimmel war so stark ausgeprägt, dass das Hotel sicher davon wusste.

Positiv war, dass ich ohne große Probleme ein neues Zimmer bekommen habe. Für ein Luxus Hotel bin ich trotzdem etwas verwundert.

Ottimo hotel che non abbiamo però potuto sfruttare pienamente visto il cattivo tempo e il breve tempo. La nostra camera classic era piuttosto piccola e un po' rumorosa visto la vicinanza alla strada. L'unica pecca di nota è non aver potuto usufruire della piscina interna in quanto il PH non era giusto. Sarebbe stato opportuno avvertire in tempo in quanto era per noi molto importante.
