Best boutique hotel we stayed in South America. It was so luxurious and the price was affordable. I loved that you could rent bikes and ride around. I will definitely stay there again!!!
Really comfortable, very calm, and a really great restaurant. It's not far from civilization, but far enough to feel a calm, warm vibe. Surrounded by nature but with good quality installations, I had the opportunity to enjoy the spa's relaxing massage, and enjoy both pools and the hot tub, as well as the sauna. I didn't use the gym, but it has one. The breakfast has a wide range of options, and everything's fresh and tasty! Went there as a romantic getaway with my girlfriend, and we had probably one of the most relaxing and enjoyable weekends I had in the year, probably ever! The restaurant is really good, and even if you're not staying at the hotel, do try the restaurant (although I should point out that guests have a discount).
Nowhere near a 4-star hotel, and almost everything was broken, there was no second bedside table, no robes, one shampoo for two people and apparently showering should be done by a hand soap. Not sure about the breakfast either, decided to skip it after the first time (this hotel is still playing the old hotel game of early breakfast). Heating of the hot tub is broken, as was the tap in the shower, together with the wet sauna. Bicycles are rusty and badly adjusted, mine lost it's chain 10 minutes into my ride (when I first wanted to switch gears). Staff is nowhere near as friendly as people in Uruguay usually are, all in all: places like this are the reason we usually use AirBnB.
This is not a "boutique" hotel in any sense. Just a small one. Rooms are very basic for the price (but Punta is a ludicrously expensive destination) and have paper thin walls, so pray your neighbours are quiet and don't watch TV. Front desk staff were offhand at best - i assume underpaid and poorly trained. Remember the room rate here is over 50% higher than a big 5* resort hotel in Hawaii or Australia....
Great hotel! It started when we got to the hotel very early from the airport (around ten) asked for an early check-in (thinking about 1pm or 12 at best. After less than 10 minutes of waiting, they told us that our room is ready. The staff is super nice and friendly, and they helped us with our every need throughout our stay. The standard room might be a little small in American standards, but it was fine for us. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast is good, great and fresh fruits and good pastries (breakfast is a little on the sweeter side, a lot of cakes and pies). My wife and I are vegetarians so we were a little limited, but we didn't leave hungry. The hotel is not that close to the beach (15-30 minutes walk) but it's a short Uber ride away.
I cannot stress enough how nice the people who work here are. I highly recommend!
