Apart del Lago

The Resort & Setting

Apart del Lago is a lakeside lodging property on Av. Ezequiel Bustillo, the famous stretch that curves along Nahuel Huapi towards Llao Llao, one of the most photographed drives in Patagonia. The resort keeps things simple and comfortable: a pool, a sauna, free breakfast, and an on-site bar/restaurant — the kind of low-key base travellers return to year after year, which helps explain its 4.4/5 rating across more than 1,500 reviews. It's independently run, though owners can also use it within the RCI and Interval International exchange networks, which makes it possible to trade your week for stays elsewhere if you'd rather not use it every year.

The Area & Things to Do

San Carlos de Bariloche is Argentina's best-known lake-district town, set against the Andes with Nahuel Huapi Lake as its centrepiece. Av. Ezequiel Bustillo links the city centre to Llao Llao and the Circuito Chico, a loop road famous for viewpoints, forest trails, and small bays that are perfect for a walk or a coffee stop. Winters bring skiers to Cerro Catedral, Argentina's largest ski resort, while summer shifts the focus to hiking, lake crossings, and chocolate shops in the town's Swiss-Alpine-style centre. It's a destination with genuine year-round appeal, which is worth factoring in when deciding when to list your week.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Apart del Lago and no longer use it, you can list it for resale or as a rental directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. This is an owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, interested buyers or renters contact you through the platform, and no commission is taken on the sale — you simply pay a small one-time listing fee to get your ad live.

Because Apart del Lago is independently run rather than part of a branded chain, resale transfers go through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a head-office transfer desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, both sides should confirm directly with the resort: the transfer fee that applies to change the week into the buyer's name, whether the resort or association holds any right of first refusal on a resale, and the current annual maintenance fee. These details vary by unit and by year, so get them in writing from the resort before closing the deal.

A resale buyer should expect to receive the usage rights to the week as recorded by the resort, along with any points or exchange-network affiliation tied to the unit — but not necessarily the seller's booking history, loyalty status, or any prior reservations already made for future years. It's worth both parties checking exactly what does and doesn't carry over before money changes hands.

Renters, meanwhile, are mostly looking for straightforward things: confirmed dates, a clear week or unit number, and a responsive owner who can answer basic questions about the room and the resort's facilities — the pool, sauna, and breakfast are usually the first things people ask about.

Practical Notes

Av. Ezequiel Bustillo 7911 puts the resort a short drive from downtown Bariloche and on the direct route to Llao Llao and the Circuito Chico, so a car (or the local bus that runs this corridor) is useful for getting around. Bariloche airport serves domestic flights year-round, with seasonal variation in traffic between the ski season and summer holidays worth bearing in mind when choosing which week to list or book.
