We were very skeptical due to all the reviews of the hotel. However, it was really not bad. The hotel is in a decent location close to the beach and the bus even though not in the peninsula. It's very easy to get there by bus. The manager is very helpful even though other staffs are not as competent. The... More

I have been there with my partner in January. It was high season and the prices where extremely high. Unfortunately the standard of the service where not high, they were mostly poor. Check in with reservation mistake made by the front/back office staff so we had to change room after 1 night to get the room with balcony booked. The... More

They advertise it as a 5 star hotel! WHAT? Once you get there, you think you went to the wrong hotel, room! Nothing matches the web description or pictures! you pay for something that you never get! Completely deceiving! They give you the room without cleaning! No security what so ever, anyone can come into your room & when they... More

If you are looking for a five star new building this is not the place for you. This is an older building that you see the staff working day and night to keep it clean. It might not be new but it's clean. Tip 1, Make sure you have a reservation as we sat in the lobby using the free... More

As soon as you enter into the room it is easy to see the dirt all over the shop. Bathroom was filthy and full of moss. Owner explained that this was because we rented an "eco" room. Eco does not mean Dirty! Simply avoid it! there are nice and cheap hotels in the area. (we simply decided to move back... More

The room and the bathroom stink. The hotel is very old. The hostess are desorganized and we got different information at different times. The hostess are sometimes unpolited.

This place has a great pool area and is in an attractive, quiet neighborhood a short walk from the beach. The onsite restaurant is good and the prices are reasonable for Punta del Este. I'd give the breakfast buffet a C+. Our room was a bit worn but generally clean; however, the smell in the bathroom (sewer gas from the... More

We stayed there in 2004. Our standard room was being reformed, so they gave us a higher value at no additional cost. The host was nice and the environment was very cozy, but nothing fancy. I do recommend it.
