The Hotel is great, located a bit away from the city ( 15-20 min) but right in front of a lake. the Hotel is great for families but Not so great just for couples as there are a lot of kids present. The outside pool is great but like i said too many kids. Not many restaurants nearby, you would have to drive to a restaurant. The stuff is great and friendly.

Great Views of Laguna Del Lago

This is a nice hotel only 7-8 minutes off the main highway. The hotel is a little aged but still in decent shape, and the views and paths along the lake are wonderful. Very peaceful location with a courteous and helpful staff and good room prices make this a good safe location to spend a few nights outside of Maldonado.

Good but could be much better

Amazing location. Rooms are correct for what the hotel charges but the restaurants are way overpriced for their offering and the staff is soo slow and unmotivated. Staff at the reception and bar were ok. For $ 500 a night, it is way overpriced. For $ 200-300 you are getting decent value.

Nice place to relax

Great place to fall off the grid and just relax. The lake is beautiful and the swimming pools are perfect to spend the day at during the summer. Staff is accommodating, beds are comfortable, there's amazing artwork everywhere, breakfast is very good too. It is far from civilization so not the right option if you plan to spend most of your time in Punta del Este.

A weekend getaway

I enjoyed my stay here. I loved the artwork displayed on the walls, the pool was nice, the free breakfast was good, and the hotel staff was friendly and helpful. This hotel is a golf resort, and we were not there for golf, so it's a bit further from Punta del Este (which is why we were there) than I'd like it to be, but the hotel offers a shuttle to Punta del Este for a small fee, so that was cool. The last pick-up to go back to the hotel is a little too early, so if you're wanting to be out late, you will need to take a taxi back. They also offer a free shuttle to the nearby beaches, and a shuttle to the airport, so that's also nice. As far as food, if you don't have a car, your only option is what the hotel has to offer as there is nothing within a short walking distance. We had a small meal at the bar, and it was decent. The room was clean, the shower was nice and big, and the beds were super comfortable. It rained on one of the days we were there so we hung out at the hotel all day and found it to be very comfortable and relaxing with a wide range of amenities offered. The front desk also called every night just to see if we needed anything. Given it's distance from Punta del Este, if or when I ever come back, I would stay here again.

Beautiful view of the lake from a large balcony.

The lake is large, lined by tall pines with many species of birds nesting. A nice cool breeze flows across the white caps and engulfs the room with freshness. A nice relaxing environment to enjoy a cocktail.

Nothing to brag about

The hotel is not appealing to the eye from the outside. The inside is a time tunnel and needs updating. Pool was dirty , chairs as well. Some of the patio furniture needs to go in the trash. Went for a walk and the board walk is all torn up. No cautionary signs where you could easily catch your leg in a hole from missing boards. Our room was not clean especially the bathroom and mold on the tiles. Bed linens were clean.Staff was nice but we had to ask for things that a high end resort would have attended to. The grounds were pretty. The hotel has the potential to be better if the attention to detail was there. The manager was very nice and gave my husband a discount voucher for us to come back. Unfortunately I would never go back.
