Lodge Atamisque

Stunning landscape views from the rooms! The rooms are very large and cozy. The only hesitation is that the property is very large and it can be hard to get around the property without a car (for example, to get from the lodges to visit the bodega it is at least a mile). The staff was very accommodating and gave us a ride when we needed it, but car service does not seem like a service they typically provide. Still, I would highly recommend a stay at Atamisque!

Enjoyed a great time at the Lodge Atamisque. The grounds are amazing where you can walk along the vineyards, golf course and winery. The rooms were great with the fireplace, spacious bathroom and living area and extremely comfortable. The room has a beautiful view of the mountains and on a clear day you can see the distant snow peaks. The dining room was small and intimate and the service made your feel like you were invited to a friend's for an unbelievable dining experience. The food was some of the best I've ever had, including perfectly cooked Argentinian steak. If an item wasn't featured again that night, they would accommodate the request and prepare it. The staff were extremely friendly and ensured all needs were taken care of. It gives a small property feel that a hotel simply can't provide. At any time they would be asking us what else they could do for us. Each request was greated with a smile. There are a number of wineries within a not too far drive so it made for a perfect place to venture out to check out the other local wineries. I can't recommend the Lodge Atamisque highly enough for all aspects of the experience there.

We visited the hotel for 2 nights. The checkin procedure is a bit improvised - easily to miss. The way to the hotel is nice and some minutes to drive, so you are far away from the restaurant and farming work. You arrive to a hill where you can overview the beautiful landscape. Around the separated houses its the bold 'sierra' nature. The rooms are spaceful and very nice. Huge bathroom, remembers that you are in a french property. It's clean and comfortable. So for the rooms, there is nothing negative to say - in the contrary this is a 5star. Why I rate it average is because of the food, breakfast and price-service/amenity quality you get (nothing but wifi and breakfast is included). I was very disappointed that being in a winery we had to pay the full price of the wine bottles, dinner was pricy and we thought that in that case the wine must be included. The trout was nice - although I found it a bit earthy in taste. The outdoor area wasn't welcoming as it could be with some small additional easy to maintain touches. The so called yacuzzi is a joke. They tried to make a nice evening ambient, the guard illuminated the torches, disappeared, and after five minutes the fire was gone for ever. I understand that as the rooms are far away from the service area where the employees are, you might only be able to affort one waiter by the hotel area - but then this must be like a multiple talented person who can fix, set up the ambient, cook, prepare breakfast etc. The girl who was there did the best and she was lovely. But for that price (more or the same than the 3 other luxury hotels in Mendoza which really have the service you pay for), they have to rethink the concept to make it up. It appeared to me, that who works in the hotel part felt isolated from the huge property and other employees. For a retreat escape and golfing and being there with friends its a good choice - the nature is amazing!!! - if they lower the price or include some of the services. If you want to get to know with Mendoza, the culture, different vineyard etc. I would definitely pick another hotel.

To all tourist planning on visiting this resort. Please save your money it is not worth it. Let me give you the reasons.||1. There is no reception where they can help you plan your trip. |2. There is absolutely no service|3. The rooms are very primitive, broken light bulbs, no real hot water.|4. The hotel does not change the linens or the towels.|5. There are no amenities in the room. The little they have is very cheap.|6. There is no restaurant you can order from. You can only eat what they make. |7. Food preparation is very basic. |8. Supposedly the concierge should arrive at 8 everyday but during our stay he showed up at 11 am. |9. Very bad clubs to loan for golf course. |10. No AC ||In general paying 330 usd for this is completely nuts. Stay away my recommendation. We left a day earlier because it was unbearable |

This destination was our last night after a wonderful 2 week visit to South America. We had picked Atamisque after careful review and being lured in by their beautiful website. The setting is beautiful and we anticipated a luxurious evening to rest up before our long trip home. It was anything but relaxing and not worth the high price (our highest during our whole 2 week stay in South America). Upon arrival it was hard to even locate how to check in. This property is new and it appears the whole development is not yet up and running. Eventually we checked in and when confirming a pre-arranged dinner reservation at their Rincon restaurant (which looks amazing online) we were told it was closed and we could eat in our hotel lobby. This was very disappointing as we were not informed prior to arrival even after making a dinner reservation beforehand - the restaurant was one of the reasons we picked the property. The 'lobby' is just another small building near the main lodge buildings and is like a place you would expect for breakfast. BUT the real kicker for us was when we arrived (you have to drive) out at our lodge room, during a day of 95 degrees we found out that there was no A/C. A beautiful newly built lodge (six separate rooms) could spend the money to arrange for WIFI and a huge hot tub, but no A/C. This was really not acceptable to us for what is considered a luxury property. And it was VERY hot in the room. There are no screens on the windows (only 2) and the sliding door did not have a screen either, so at night when it did cool down a bit, we were not happy about opening them as we had tons of bugs and yes, toads....to deal with all night. It was just horrible, and all night it was VERY hot, uncomfortable, one of the worst night's sleep we have had on any trip. We did not sleep hardly at all and could not wait to get the heck out of there. Dinner in the lobby was made via microwave (and was pricey) and horrible, and breakfast was disappointing. We ran from there as quick as we could. This was not nearly worth the high room price. Beware. Go somewhere...anywhere....else.

Atamisque is such a special find that I actually thought twice about reviewing it: I wanted to keep the secret to myself. But you should know (and go). The location is magical, the wine first-rate (ditto, the food) and the lodges are as slick as any boutique hotel (stand-alone baths, hot tubs, enormous beds). For peace, escapism and THE most stunning holiday snaps, this is the place. Just one tip: if you hire bikes to cycle to local vineyards, beware! There is a deceptive gradient that makes it very easy to cycle towards them, but incredibly hard work coming back (even if you're sober!) We're pretty physically fit and had to walk back with the bikes.

Brilliant winery, small but perfectly formed. Low production volumes, very new world. Beautifully picturesque, amazing slate roof... And the wine? Delicious! Can't comment on accommodation... Although if you're into the grapey stuff, it's a must visit. Quality.

Both jacuzzis were dirty, one of the was completely damaged and the waited until we arrived to try to do something about it.||||The restaurant that we had previously booked was closed and there was no help at all to solve this inconvenience.||||I do not recommend this hotel if you are planning to have a romantic night. What a waste of money and time......:(
