I will give Aqua 3 1/2 stars. It has many positives and negatives going for it, but the most important thing to keep in mind is context that A) this is an older hotel and B) this is Uruguay. First the good stuff - aqua can be very affordable on the booking sites, with tiny bare bones rooms for 89 us. We stayed in a jr suite for 150US a night and had a huge 10x20 terrace that made the place ( only 4 rooms have these). The breakfast is big and plentiful, one of the better we have had in South America. Location - a few blocks from Mansa beach, Gordelero, shopping, bars, restaurants, great location right amongst a fashion district.
The not so good - its old and kinda dirty, and in need of service and upgrade, but to their credit they are making improvements that i could see, fresh paint, new towels, ect. So effort is there. I read some spanish reveiws that the service is poor but we never had any problems, Uruguayans can be kinda gruff so remeber to tip a little bit and it makes all the difference.
So stay here if you can look past the gritty and get a good deal on a hotel in the heart of the punta peninsula.
Only give it three because I order thru booking . Com, when I arrived for 127 bucks they wanted me to stay in a box, so I bitched, they conceded and gave me a nice room but safe did not work,frig was empty, the outside deck was not clean for a while, quite a while. So beware this is why Airbb is such a great deal.
