If being by the water is a major draw, Mansa Beach is a spot you might want to check out, located 3.6 mi (5.8 km) from central Punta del Este. If you want to continue walking by the waves, head to Playa Las Delicias located nearby.
"The staff is so nice. The room was a nice size. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was a bit small, but not bad. My husband said he saw a hair on the sheets, but it was probably the maid's. Air conditioning unit made a strange whirring sound every few minutes, but not a huge deal. "
"We had a wonderful beach view room in this new hotel. Great bathroom with wonderful shower and bidet toilet!
Great food and pastries. Don't let the menu fool you, gourmet tapas, a must try are the camarónes with mushrooms. Amazi. Plus the Viereas,(scallops) awesome. "
"Nice hotel with friendly staff in a great location. The rooms are clean and spacious and the breakfast is of a good standard. Unfortunately I left an item of clothing behind and the hotel wasn't very helpful as they would not post it to me, even though I offered to pay the costs. I would have given a much better rating if it wasn't for this as it would show they were prepared to go the extra effort for guests.

"Honestly no idea how this property has scored anything above a 2.
Plus points. Handy to bus station. Friendly check in staff. Nice reception area.
Bad points. Room falling to bits. Bathroom horrible and dirty. Windows and floors dirty. Breakfast extra $10 (we didn't bother after seeing the state of the hotel). Advertised as having a guest laundry - it doesn't but has a paid (and expensive) laundry service/dry clean. The area around the bus station is grotty and lots of homeless and dirt.
Four hotels so far in South America This was the worst except the nice friendly female at reception was very pleasant and helpful.
Stay in the old town/port area or near the southern beaches This area is unpleasant to stay in and it's worth the cost of the uber to stay somewhere else."
