Very interesting hotel and story behind of that. Recommend to visit and stay.

We luckily got a discount on our room. During the normal season it’s way pricier. It’s gorgeous here. Staff are friendly. Supposedly six cats live on the property but I only met one :( it did greet me while I sunbathed, which I loved. I loved the breakfast buffet. Not sure why some have complained about it. The bacon was amazing. The pan au chocolate was great. Loved the ricotta Torta. Legit one of the best buffets in a Uruguayan hotel. Only suggestion is to have protection from mosquitoes in the rooms.

Our second time here: our favorite hotel in the world! If you visit Punta del Este you MUST at least visit the Carlos Paez Museum & the sunset experience there! Do some research on the hotel & you will see how unique this hand built hotel really is! DONT MISS THIS PLACE!!

Beautiful views of the ocean and interesting architecture. Restaurant food is horrible.

Quality

Great architecture and views. Restaurant was of good quality!

This was a very uniquely designed building. Architecture lovers will certainly appreciate this place. Big spacious room ( we had a suite) with a spectacular view of the ocean and the sunset. Staff was amazing. Food was very good. Great 1 night stay.

It has very nice view, but very outdated facilities and poor service.

Casapueblo is in an amazing location near Punta del Este, Uruguay. The architecture is beautiful and artsy, as it was originally built by a well-known Uruguayan painter. It is, however, showing its age and could use some updates without losing its uniqueness. The shower in our room needs to have the hot water faucet fixed so it can be better regulated, as it was almost impossible to get the right water temperature. The door to our balcony (superb views) did not close properly and it needed to be fixed during our stay. Service was very uneven. Our request to get our door fixed was not relayed to maintenance when promised and we had to ask again. Our towels were not always replaced fully (all dirty ones were removed but the wash cloths were not replaced) and toiletries not refilled until we complained that we were running out. It looked like personnel was not sufficiently trained or supervised and/or there was a staff shortage. Once we complained at the front desk on day 4 when our "complaints" had accumulated enough to say something, we got the toiletries replenished and another set of bath towels provided (still no wash cloths). We were surprised that there no tissues in the room. The ladies at the front desk did listen to us and hopefully passed on our feedback to management. A very nice touch: when we got back from an evening out, they delivered a cold bottle of champagne to our room. Unique location but uneven service does not match high price we paid.

Exceptional hotel and unforgettable sunset! My only complaint would be the breakfast, which was awful.

The hotel itself is a master piece. All rooms have the best view. The staff is very friendly.

Great hotel, great service...the room is kind of old but the balcony view is amazing.

Absolutely not worth the money. If we do come back to Punta, I would much rather just come and have a drink at the bar. Everything is completely outdated and the bathrooms really need a major upgrade. The charm and quirkiness is what drew up to Casapueblo, but the hotel from the inside is truly stuck in the 80s. The gym has machines that are so old they have rust on them, and there is a hidden charge for everything- towel rentals, chair paddings, a later checkout (BTW, check out is at 10 am and they will charge you if you are not out by then), etc.. Lunch menu is the same as dinner, and the restaurant is closed from 5-8pm so that a private tour company can enjoy the restaurant and patio area during sunset... The views and private balconies truly are spectacular, but why spend all that money when you can get all that by just visiting the bar while in town. The food is great too, but with a very limited and repetitive menu and with nothing really nearby, it makes you think about staying here for more than 1 night. Breakfast was another huge letdown-one that you had to wait to 8 AM to realize you only have an assortment of bread and nothing else. For a resort price, I would much rather spend it on a hotel that actually felt like a resort. The views and exterior (which really are spectacular) is what is keeping the hotel afloat, but it unfortunately falls so short of its potential. This hotel really could be something else if they just put some TLC in the inside.

What an amazing place! Definitely recommend!

A stay in this unique design hotel is must on a Uruguay trip. Beautiful location, friendly and helpful staff with good security concept. Restaurant provides very tasty food, good breakfeast buffet. Direct access to rio plata for swimming. Appartment spaceous and well equipped, good bed at 180cm width, huge terrasse partly shaded with beautiful view. Everything clean and well maintained. Good swimmingpools, fitness gym is rather poorly equipped. Museum and art galery in same building, therefore some traffic of non hotel guests in some areas.

I never been in a hotel like this one. Builded and carved in the rocks

This hotel is hard to describe but it definitely worth a 1 or 2 night stay. Dr. Seuss may have helped design it but this does not mean it is super kid friendly. It is more like you have jumped inside one of his illustrations when you are there. Quiet and great ocean views but no direct access to sand. Public beaches with parking are 10 minutes away and have nice shallow shores with hard packed sand, good for soccer and jogging. Rooms vary in size so you might ask for a different room if the size feels wrong for your party.

Great

Made very welcome, enjoyed the visit, parking is an issue

The hotel is a work of art and a must to see if you are in Uruguay and near Punt del este. Easy to get to and the views of the water, beach and coastline are outstanding. We selected hotel as it was quite different from the norm.

Casapueblo is the creation of an artist so its truly unique. Located about 5 miles from Punta del Este so youll need a car. But the sea views from the patio of every room are well worth it. Quiet, peaceful, and relaxing. The rooms are large and very comfortable.

Sure, the architecture and uniqueness is off the charts. But beware if you dont drive to casa and choose to take a bus, u will hike up and down hilly road for 2 kilometers from bus stop-better hope its not raining!! Front desk agent shook me down for "voucher", which hotels.com did not advise of. The bathroom shower faucets are primitive and water flows when it wants to; intermittently. The breakfast is incleded and great. Dinner,however, double or triple from the rest of uruguay!!! No wonder we were 1 of only 2 couples dining..... Bottomline, if you want breathtaking views and enjoy old architecture, and dont mind travelling 30 minutes by car to the contemporary city of punte del este, this is your spot!!!

Good room and clean and great views. One swimming pool was very dirty, lifts were often not available, poor quality food at outrageously high prices and drinking water also at outrageously high prices. The hotel takes full advantage of its isolated location and marks up very high the prices of all essential items. You might be best to make an excursion to watch the sunset but go by car and fond another hotel that takes pride in its service and doesn't take advantage and over charge. I won't go back to stay there.

Very cool experience. Nice for a one night stay. Beautiful views of the water. Adjacent museum is interesting and with checking out. The rooms are large and clean.

I stayed 2 days during the weekend. The weather was nice and the hotel location did not disappoint. However, the service and restaurant disappointed. Nobody to serve guests in the swimming pool or any other location of the hotel, except the restaurant. Checkout at 10am for a weekend hotel was also a negative surprise (50% room rate to extend to 2pm!). Overall experience was ok...more disappointed than surprised on the upside. There are better options to stay in Punta.

Each room is unique. The views are awesome. The staff is helpful and friendly. We were treated marvelously and it eas such a fun iconic place to stay. The pools are great too.

I travel to Uruguay every few years to visit family and have always wanted to stay at this hotel. I am so glad we did. The hotel is stunningly beautiful and magical. Nothing like I have ever seen before. The hallways look like caves, the room we stayed in was HUGE, and the view is just spectacular. The hotel itself is a work of art and everyone that views my pictures are amazed. The parking is a bit of a hassle because there just isn't any parking on a cliff. There are a lot of tourist visiting the hotel museum and punta ballena (they bus them in there) but I didn't feel like it was a big deal because the hotel area is much more private. The only issue I had with the hotel was some of the small details. For example, the tiny bathroom garbage they had was the type that you step on and the lid opens. Well, it was so darn cheap that it didn't work and I found myself lifting the lid with my hands. Also the balcony chairs were cheap plastic ones and my girl sat on one and the leg broke and could've gotten hurt. If I'm spending $250 a night they could spend a little more money on those small details. Overall, the experience while we were there was what mattered. The free breakfast was great and the wifi worked well in the room. The room was two stories with full kitchen and bedroom downstairs and so unique. We spent 3 nights there and out of all the hotels we stayed at in Uruguay and Argentina, Hotel Casa Pueblo was our favorite just because of the amazing surroundings.

This hotel is absolutely beautiful! I´m a graphic designer and I love architecture, art and design in general. So staying in this hotel was a special treat. The location and setting of this hotel is so serene and naturally gorgeous. If you appreciate architecture, art and design, then this hotel is for you. There are other reviews about the poor service here, and I have to agree. It´s too bad that such a nice hotel can have such poor service. Our crazy, spewing shower head needed repair, but was neglected, we dealt with water all over the floor. Also, the receptionist staff didn´t seem too interested in helping me too much. Luckily the beauty of the hotel surpassed that negative aspect for me. There is only wifi in the receptionist lobby area, which is kind of a pain. But if you´re on vacation, its better to get away from internet anyway. The food in the restaurant was ´really good, for lunch and dinner. The breakfast that is included is nothing special. If you stay there during a nice day, you must go to the cafe in the museum and watch the sunset from the patio/deck, it´s gorgeous. The museum is nice as well. Hope this is helpful! I highly recommend staying here. I would come back.
