The hotel was walking distance from restaurants and the beach. The room and bathroom was small. The price was higher than it should be. Breakfast was good.

Good relation between price and service. Breakfast needs more fruit options and extended hours service. The presence of car attendants is also very annoying.

The hotel and property is well managed and the staff is very helpful and friendly. Punta del'Este is an older seaside resort,which has some areas which needed to be upgraded. And you better get used to faceless high rises facing the beaches and dunes

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.

The property is not very well maintained and does not reflect its advertised condition. Nobody seems to do any basic upkeep. I would call it tired in need of a great cleaning and a coat or two of paint, and replace the pool furniture while your at it.

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.

Hotel facilities and staff were nice. Breakfast was very good. Pool and SPA were small. I wanted to get some sun, but the pool was mostly on the shade. Parking is on the street. Overall it was a pleasant stay.

Beautiful hotel in a quieter part of the city
I was there off season and enjoyed the fact and that foot and vehicle traffic were light. The hotel itself is tastefully designed, light, airy and includes beautiful, comfortable outdoor sitting areas, one with a small pool. Landscaping is also lovely.

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.

We spent 5 nights there. Nice little hotel, good and pleasant staff. But we think it is too pricey for what is is. Spa is basically non existent and the fitness room has only 2 treadmills and 1 ellipticall, a bit short....

Beautiful boutique hotel
Beautiful hip hotel. Large elegant lobby. Farther from beach than I expected however hotel was quieter and out of the honky tonk area. Beautiful buffet breakfast. Self serve coffee which is a plus. It was a beautiful morning so we brought out breakfast to the pool area. Only negative is we were charged $8 to rent a bike for one hour. That felt chintzy.

Situated in a quiet site, just a few kilometers from the Peninsula and the best restaurants of Punta del Est. I recommend to rent a car.

Clean, modern boutique hotel with friendly staff who spoke English well. We booked a king room but were put in a standard room with twin beds that was cramped. Also the music from the hotel bar was extremely loud and bled into our room on the 1st floor... not what you'd expect from a "wellness spa" and a little disappointing to be honest.

A perfect boutique Hotel
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
