Design Suites Bariloche

The Resort & Setting

Design Suites Bariloche sits on Av. Ezequiel Bustillo, the lakeside road that runs along Nahuel Huapi toward the Llao Llao peninsula, one of the most scenic stretches of road in the region. Google reviewers rate the property 4.5 out of 5 from over 2,500 reviews, and the listing highlights a restaurant, lake views, an outdoor pool, a gym and even an art gallery on site — a polished, contemporary base rather than a rustic mountain lodge. As an independent timeshare resort, it isn't part of a large hotel chain, which tends to mean a more intimate owners' community and a management structure specific to this one property.

The Area & Things To Do

San Carlos de Bariloche is the classic starting point for Argentine Patagonia, built along the shores of Lago Nahuel Huapi with the Andes rising directly behind the town. Right outside the resort you have the lake itself for kayaking, fishing or a scenic boat trip, while Parque Nacional Nahuel Huapi, just a few kilometres away, offers hiking trails and alpine scenery for everyone from casual walkers to serious trekkers. The Circuito Chico, an 80-kilometre loop road past forests and turquoise lakes, is one of the most photographed drives in the country, and Cerro Campanario's chairlift delivers one of the best panoramic viewpoints over the lake and surrounding peaks. Downtown Bariloche, a short drive away, has the chocolate shops, Swiss-influenced architecture, restaurants and galleries the town is known for. Winters bring skiing and snow activities; summers favour hiking, biking and watersports, with March–May and September–November as quieter, milder shoulder periods.

Selling Or Renting A Week Here

If you own a week at Design Suites Bariloche and want to sell or rent it out, BidMyTimeshare.com lets you list it directly as a private resale or rental — you set the asking price, interested buyers or renters contact you through the platform, and there's no commission on the sale; sellers pay only a small one-time listing fee.

Because Design Suites Bariloche is run independently rather than through a major branded exchange programme, resale transfers are handled through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a third-party exchange company. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, it's worth confirming directly with the resort what the current transfer fee is, whether the owners' association has a right of first refusal, how long the transfer paperwork typically takes to process, and what the current annual maintenance fee is — these details vary by resort and aren't published figures we can quote here, so get them in writing before you close a deal. A resale buyer should expect to receive the usual week or points entitlement and access to the resort's own facilities; anything beyond that, such as any wider exchange arrangement, should be confirmed with the resort directly rather than assumed.

Renters, for their part, are typically looking for lake or mountain views, proximity to the Circuito Chico and hiking trailheads, and flexibility around the busy summer (December–February) and winter (July–August) weeks, so listing the exact dates and view/room details helps a rental ad stand out.

Practical Notes

Bariloche is reached via regional flights into Bariloche Airport (BRC), roughly 1,600 kilometres from Buenos Aires and its main international airport; most overseas visitors connect through Buenos Aires first. A rental car is genuinely useful here for reaching the Circuito Chico and trailheads at your own pace. Pack layers regardless of season, as mountain weather over Nahuel Huapi can shift quickly, and book well ahead for the December–February and July–August peaks, when demand across Bariloche properties runs high.
