Pictures are probably from 10 years ago. The hotel is at most a 1 star. Everything is broken, old, low quality. The service and people is friendly, but I would suggest to go elsewhere.

The property is kind of old and rooms are small but since it was only one night it did its purpose. Overall staff was kind and attentive with my needs. Nice pools..

Great staff. Front desk was very helpful getting us a reservation at Garzon Winery and spoke English and Spanish. Breakfast buffet was delicious. Suite had a balcony with ocean view. Outdoor pool was a little cold and gym was under construction, but otherwise it was great!

The entire staff, similar to all Uruguayans, were beautiful and helpful. The hotel and facilities themselves were a tremendous disappointment. The pictures of the pools and the facility on the website were doctored. Both pools are outdated and are in desperate need of renovation. The carpets in the hotel smells as soon as the elevator doors open. The elevator is confusing to operate with convoluted levels instead of just levels 1-6. Although we were give an “ocean view” room, the ocean was not near and the views were hindered between 2 buildings. After 2 nights of our 4 night stay we had to leave and head back to Montevideo to the Sheraton, forfeiting our money for 2 nights. We love smaller hotels and have stayed in many, but this particular hotel needs a complete makeover. We are thankful to the entire staff for their trademark Uruguayan hospitality. This poor quality hotel is not a representation of the wonderful Uruguayan people. Sam

Good location. Shabby interiors and run down facility.

A suite with kitchenette and seating, lounge sofa and big tv, separate bedroom and a balcony. Was off season but had an outdoor activities area with pool. Very good breakfast.

We stayed here for two nights and had a really pleasant stay. I am celiac and the staff went out of their way to provide me with a gluten breakfast - the best I have received in 2 months of travel in South America. The hotel could do with a lick of paint but it is very comfortable and the rooms are spacious. The sauna is nice to relax in also.

The hotel is in a good location. However anything on the Peninsula is in a good location since you can walk pretty much anywhere in about 15 minutes. We stayed about 2 weeks before the busy season (which starts ~Dec 15th) so we got a lower price. The hotel itself and the rooms were clean, but are in a desperate need of renovations/upgrades. Some examples: - There was a new flat screen TV in the bedroom - There was an old CRT TV in the living space with terrible reception - The mattress was very thin and had no real shock absorption. If one of you gets up first in the morning the other will know. - The door handle fell off the door between the bedroom and living space, but I fixed it - There is a single air conditioning unit in the bedroom that is only strong enough to cool the bedroom. Like I said we were there before high season and it was cool for most of our stay. The pool was very clean and it looked like some of the rooms and public areas near the pool were being renovated. The indoor pool and spa were also clean and nice. Note there are a section of rooms that sit above the entrance to the parking garage. Those rooms do not have balconies. When you check in ask if your room has a balcony. While we were there the WiFi was very slow and the signal wasn't very strong. This goes for inside the rooms and at the pool.

No double windows to stop very noisy street full of buses. Also and although it is beyond the control of the hotel, punta has become a place for noisy kids to party, we were up half of the night we were there while a bunch of semi drunk teenagers were misbehaving. The hotel did nothing to stop them

Very good location to the beach. It was a high price. The breakfast room was very big and very busy. It has a very big inside pool. They also have a nice quite room to read.

It is an old hotel with lack of maintenance. The restaurant is small and you have to wait until a table is available. The massages are ok, but the pool and sauna need a refurbishment. The signal of the cable TV has interference and the TV has not remote control. I would not come back.

Stayed at this hotel for the FIBA Americas 16u basketball tourney held in Maldonado. The hotel staff was top notch in taking care of our questions and requests (there was always someone on duty who spoke English). As has been mentioned in other reviews, the renovation seems to still be in progress (June 2013), and our room still seemed a little dated, but everything worked (mini fridge, microwave, tvs) & they had wifi. The bathroom didn't have much room for toiletries, but the bath sheets were nice. Since it was the off season, a lot of restaurants were closed or closed early, but there were plenty of places by the beach to eat & we used the mini mart next to the hotel for snacks. There was also a full service laundromat in the next block where we were able to get a single load of clothes washed, dried & folded for abt a hamilton. We were able to navigate bus service to the venue and back for only a couple of US $ (with the stop coming back within a few yards of the hotel). And although we had the hotel set up car service for our trip from the MVD airport to the hotel; going back we took the bus which had a stop at the airport for approx US $10. The bus terminal is within 4 to 5 blocks of the hotel. Punta del Este is quiet & relaxed in the off season, the hotel was very convenient to restaurants & the beach - within blocks of both sides of the penisula and their service was really wonderful.

It's allways nice to be upgraded. A very pleasant surprise.

The hotel is old, but in good conditions. The location is perfect. Close to everything. I would come back

The hotel is a little older and it shows in some of the carpets in the hall ways, but the room was very clean and spacious with a view of the ocean and good internet. The breakfast had a great variety of selections and was plentiful. Everybody in the staff was very friendly and I would definitely stay at this hotel again if I come back to the area.

Not worth the money. The pictures on the website are deceiving. This place is rundown, dirty, and overall just not good for the amount they are charging! Motel 6 would be a better deal.
