For travelers heading to the resort city, Punta del Este International Airport (PDP) is the primary and most convenient gateway, located within the municipality of Maldonado. It serves seasonal international flights and offers the quickest, most direct access to the city center via taxi or pre-arranged shuttle. In contrast, Carrasco International Airport (MVD) is located in the neighboring city of Montevideo and is not an airport of Punta del Este itself. MVD is better suited for travelers seeking year-round international connectivity or those who do not mind a longer journey. While the bus service from MVD is economical and direct, the travel time is significantly longer due to the 100+ km distance. Choosing between them often comes down to flight availability and budget; those prioritizing convenience and speed should aim for PDP, while those needing extensive international flight networks will find MVD a necessary, albeit more distant, alternative. Always confirm your transport bookings in advance, particularly during peak summer months when demand surges.

Todo muy bien, excelente, un detalle muy importante la piscina climatizada estaba muy fría, no logramos meternos de lo fría que estaba y como nosotros muchos huéspedes. Otros fueron y dejaron sus quejas por este motivo. Y la respuesta del conserje del Spa, no quiero colocarla aquí porque no es apropiada. Pero deben solucionar ese tema. Independientemente del día y fecha del año. GraciasFromUS$171

The hotel was the best hotel I have stayed in the last 5 years. It was excellent structure. It was very new. The space was with pool in the ground and a very nice terrace with academy and jacuzzi by schedule. The staff of the reception are very hearty and a very good breakfast, the best breakfast I eat in Uruguay. The croissant was the best I eat in Uruguay. The coffee options are not many but delicious. The location is excellent, our room had a partial view of the beach, and it gives you to solve everything walking with a light walk. I tell everyone because this hotel is wonderful! What takes experience ... the shower made me take 4 baths in one day. FromUS$94

Klar – hier ist deine „eingedampfte“ Bewertung, klar positiv formuliert, aber ohne die Punkte zu verschweigen:
Zusammenfassung (positiv, realistisch):
Insgesamt ein sehr gutes Hotel mit sehr aufmerksamem und hilfsbereitem Personal, besonders an der Rezeption. Man merkt allerdings, dass Alter des Hauses und Kosten-/Investitionsdruck an einigen Stellen Spuren hinterlassen: In der Restauration ist die Qualität nicht durchgehend auf dem Niveau, das man von einem klassischen Fünf-Sterne-Hotel erwarten würde, und auch der Pool wirkt teils nicht konsequent gepflegt.
Die Baustellen nebenan (Neubau/weiteres großes Gebäude) sind vorhanden und optisch nicht ideal, das Hotel ist jedoch weitgehend gut abgeschirmt. Ein großer Pluspunkt ist die direkte Nähe zu einem bunten Einkaufszentrum (alles schnell verfügbar) sowie die sehr unkomplizierte Mobilität per Uber – man kommt schnell, günstig und bequem in der Umgebung herum, auch zu guten Restaurants.
➡️ Fazit: Insgesamt klar empfehlenswert – starke 4-Sterne-Bewertung mit sehr gutem Service, bei kleineren Abstrichen bei Gastronomie/Pool und dem Umfeld durch Baustellen.FromUS$108
