A perfect place to stay while in Punta del Este

This hotel was our first experience in Uruguay and it was wonderful. The staff were kind and very helpful. The breakfast is complete, and you can ask for eggs to be cooked to your liking, and always with a smile. The hotel is in a perfect location, lots of restaurants around and close to it. The big bus terminal is a short taxi ride away, but you can also have a short walk to take local buses that take you to places you want to visit. Overall, the Awn Boutique + Design Hotel is a perfect gem and we were very pleased with our stay in this cozy and very nice hotel.

Cute weekend getaway hotel

We liked this hotel for a 2 night stay in Punta del Este , check in was easy , the staff were helpful. The outside seating area at the front is really nice especially while waiting for a taxi or friends calling in.
The pool area was cute and inviting,the beds around the pool were a lovely bonus, the pool is small but very warm. We enjoyed relaxing there with a glass of wine.
Breakfast was continental , there was a good selection of juices , meat, cheese, fruit and sweet items and they also served scrambled eggs, coffee was nice.
We did not go to the spa so can’t comment.
The bedroom was compact but had all we needed, the bed and bedding were good quality and super comfortable
The bathroom was disappointing, it was very small and the tiles really need replaced, it looked like the rooms had been refurbished but the bathroom had not, I would have preferred a modern shower instead of an old shower over an old bath.
Overall we were happy with the hotel , the staff and the service provided.

Boutique hotel in Punta del Esta shopping area.

The AWA is the second Hotel on the Boulevard Gourmet, which is the local name for this street, because there are 9 very good restos here, some of them in hotels, like the AWA. In my book, the AWA gets the boutique hotel concept right. The staff is very warm, friendly, and accommodating. The in house restaurant, LIFE, is superb. They serve a very good prix-fix lunch, 3 courses, about $20, and will serve you at the pool. The Spa has a large jacuzzi, a dry sauna, steam room, gym, and massage rooms. The pool and back deck are large enough for sunning and relaxing. Overall, the AWA is better than the Sisai, but you can't go wrong with either one. The AWA has smaller rooms, i will say that, so if you want a big personal space, go with the Sisai. If you want superior service and in house dining, and a real spa, go with the AWA. You can walk to the Punta Shopping Center in 10 minutes, which is another good feature (Original language cinema is the top feature). To walk to the beach, i recommend the Playa Brava, a 15 minute walk from the AWA.

I stayed twice in this Hotel in Punta del Este
I would like to recommend it becuause it is a very classy and trendy boutique Hotel
The staff is very polite, the rooms are comfy and perfectly clean
It has a very good location if you want to go to downtown you can do it on walk
The Awa Hotel is not a very big one so I think it is perfect for a no high season stayed, bacause it's more quiete and you have a personalized attention if you stay out of summer for example
The breakfast service is very good and it has a library and an internet room
All in all I thrully recommend this fashion Hotel

Or just stay at the pool here - it's small but classy & charming. The food (both dinner and breakfast) was excellent.

Good hotel, too far

Punta del Este is a small town, you are only here to be in the middle of restaurant and close to water, but this hotel is too far and in an inconvenient location. I know the cab ride is not much, but still the inconvenience of calling or finding a cab, and waiting. Also tries to walk once, it's not a nice road for walking. this is kind of town that you have to only be in the middle of the downtown. other than that hotel was very good, loved the restaurant and lounge downstairs. the pool and the music is fantastic. most of the concierge people are nice, some were arrogant. I wouldn't come back here only for the location.

The hotel and staff were very knowledgeable and very helpful. Our room was very well decorated and very clean. The only negative was that the walls seemed very thin. We could hear every word being spoken next door. The breakfast was the best that we've had anywhere in the world. The shopping area that the hotel is near is a mall which is nearby. The main downtown shopping area is a mile away. Overall we were very pleased with our stay. Just know that the hotel is not right near downtown like I expected from the description.

Very Nice Hotel

We chose the AWA hotel, even though it's not right on the beach, because of other reviews that indicated it was a newer, nicer hotel. When we got there, we entered a lovely lobby cooled by the ocean breezes and were greeted by front-desk staff with a glass of champagne. Nice touch. The room itself was not huge, but large enough with a very comfortable king-size bed and mini-fridge. A large picture window in the room looked out on well-maintained grounds. We had a small problem with an area of the bathroom they had missed cleaning, but that was rectified immediately. We also had a problem with the AC not working properly, which they tried to fix but it never did work completely. Since the weather was relatively mild, we didn't press it. The dining room where we had a good breakfast each morning (mainly fruit and pastry) opened out onto a very nice outdoor dining and pool area. There were houses behind the hotel where we heard quite a few dogs barking and, of all things, a rooster and chickens, but once you were inside the hotel it was very quiet. We were not there on Friday or Saturday when they have live music, so I'm not sure if that would have been a problem. The hotel is about 6 - 8 blocks from the Brava (Atlantic) beach and a few blocks from the main shopping area, which was very convenient. Cab rides to the peninsula and Mansa (river) beach were reasonable at between 5 to 8 dollars U.S. If we're ever lucky enough to go to Punta del Este again, we would stay at the AWA.
