Everything was very nice. The room had amazing views of the beach and the water. The Rooftop Bar was excellent. Bartenders were very entertaining the decor and The View was great. The restaurant was good and the breakfast was excellent. But what really made the hotel a five-star hotel was the service. No matter who you talk to the answer was always yes. They were always friendly and there to help you with any issue you had.
This is a mixed review. The hotel and the facilities were very clean and pretty, the rooms were nothing special. Comfortable and clean. The beach access is wonderful but that’s the best part about it. Otherwise it is in a charmless row of identical modern condo looking hotels. Theres not much around you’re better off staying somewhere closer to La Barra which is cuter. They charged us $7 USD for 2 bananas. SEVEN DOLLARS! We couldn’t get over it. When my grandma tried to leave breakfast with a piece of bread for later as she wasn’t feeling well she got chased and scolded for leaving the breakfast room with food. Compared to the other hotels in Uruguay the breakfast was decent. The hotel restaurant dinner was gross. The people working at the desk were very nice and helpful. The saunas and pools were very nice. The food and drinks at the hotel were so overpriced you feel like you’re getting taken advantage of it’s NYC and Miami pricing. Overall, nice hotel but overpriced and location has not much to offer besides beach.

Beautiful and big hotel, reception speaks proper English (which is absolutely not ‘normal’ in other hotels in Uruguay). The pool is huge and clean, same goes for the room. The breakfast is a bit poor if you ask me. From the hotel you also have access to the beach with beds and umbrella for free. The service of the beach restaurant (which also belongs to the hotel) could be improved. Staff is not very interested, don’t really smile and don’t speak English.
A bit far from the city if you don’t have a car. There’s a strong smell of detergent on the rooms which is not pleasant to breath-in. We checked the only 2 rooms they had available but we decided to stay elsewhere
