We booked on one of the leading hotel booking websites where this place claims to be a 4/5 star boutique hotel with the sort of amenities one would expect from a hotel at this price. What a shock when we were shown into a shabby, ill-lit room with a sagging mattress (the yellow/orange room in promo photos). After complaining we... More

We loved our stay at La Bluette. The owners were friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. In the morning we had a delicious breakfast with fresh-squeezed orange juice, fresh fruit, toast and jam, and either an omelet or sandwich. It was served on their patio-wonderful! Our room was a little small, but very comfortable with air... More

Right on beach for great location. Would need a car to make it into La Barra or downtown Punta Del Este. Best breakfast of our whole trip..fresh fruit like kiwi & watermelon for breakfast, crusty french bread sandwiches..all served in a "great hall" main room that is very gran.d. The rooms need some work/updating..a bit musty (but maybe that's hard... More

directly opposite a nice beach (big waves) lovely big bright communal areas, free umbrellas and chairs for the beach. On the Manantiales edge of La Barra so 10 mins walk to the main strip - realistically you want to have a car. Lovely helpful owners. We had a very large suite - for Punta peak time thought $250 wasn't bad... More

I too am blown away by all the positive feedback about this hotel....it seems really questionable actually. We had read all the great reviews on this site, & given the premium price we paid to stay here - on our honeymoon - we had reasonably high expectations for this 'hotel'.... We were very disappointed. It is a nice (albeit a... More

My husband, nine month old son and I stayed at Hotel La Bluette at the end of March. We traveled there from Buenos Aires and it was so nice to trade the hustle and bustle of the city for the space and serenity of Hotel La Bluette. The location in La Barra is perfect, away from the high rises of... More

Hugo and Alicia, the owners and the crew did everithing to make us comfortable ( specially the lady that serves breakfast) , the hotel is really beautifull, and breakfast at the front lounge was one of the best we had. It was served until 12 :00 like a brunch, with fresh fruits, juice, and every day a different special, like... More

If you are looking for something very rustic, you might enjoy Hotel La Bluette. The staff is very nice, but our room was dark, dusty, and had a musty smell. With no telephone, no television, and insufficient light, our room was not worth the high price we paid for it.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Hotel La Bluette. The location is very convenient - La Barra is def the place to stay and a good jumping off point for visits to Punta del Este and Jose Ignacio. Owners Hugo and Alicia were very welcoming and helpful. Hugo helped us selected restaurants, drove us to dinner (we didn't rent... More

My wife and i stayed here for 2 nights the first week of February. We were both pleasantly surprised. The location was great, just next to La Barra and very close to Manantiales. The property and its owners, Hugo and Alicia, were extremely charming and very helpful. We enjoyed just about every aspect of our stay including the wonderful breakfast... More
