An alternative form of hotel on first entering but the rooms (which include a small kitchen) are of a very good size, and well appointed. The balcony was also very large and we had a great aspect in Room 212. It is quite a walk from the centre of Punta del Este but can readily be walked. There are also a number of restaurants very close to the hotel, with plenty of choice, and also a convenient supermarket, Fresh Market just a few minutes walk away. The pool was good, and there is also a sauna - no-one else around when we used them. We had an issue on departure, when our transfer did not turn up. The reception staff were very helpful indeed in helping us to book an alternative solution for our journey to Colonia del Sacramento. A great hotel all round
