Editorial
Hotel overview
Nestled in the coastal town of Carmelo, this hotel offers a quietly relaxed experience framed by Uruguayan charm. Guests can enjoy a mix of indoor and outdoor pools, with the outdoor pool especially praised for its inviting ambiance. The presence of a casino and a stylish bar-restaurant adds lively evening options for visitors looking to blend leisure with entertainment.
While some guests note the building’s older style and mention the need for updates in certain areas like the heated pool and bathrooms, the generous breakfast and attentive staff provide considerable comfort during the stay. Large rooms with balconies look out toward the pool area offering a peaceful view. Though some amenities show signs of wear, overall the property serves as a calm escape close to the coastline and local wildlife reserves.
Surrounding the hotel is a quiet beach setting less than a block away, enhanced by a small nearby nature reserve that invites exploration. For travelers seeking a coastal retreat with a casual casino atmosphere and multiple swimming options, this hotel stands as a worthy choice.

What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Lindo hotel. Todo correcto el personal muy bien. La piscina exterior divina, fue lo que más disfruté. Las habitaciones un poco descuidadas, me toco una con balcón y vista a la piscina, muy lindo pero las persianas estaban sucias con telas de araña. Tiene pocos enchufes disponibles en la habitación, tuve que correr la mesa de luz y desenchufar la portátil para poder cargar el celular. El desayuno correcto, la ensalada de frutas y el jugo de naranja deliciosos.”
“Habitaciones grandes limpias con excelente desayuno con muy buen entorno de playa a 100 metros una pequeña reserva de fauna enfrente y juegos infantiles. Tiene casino muy buen restaurante y cafetería. Excelente desayuno. A mejorar sin duda debe ser la piscina climatizada. Se nota algo descuidada. Al ser viejo también los baños necesitan renovarse.”
“The swimming pools are nice, but sometimes dirty, even though they clean them every day. Recommended for couples that want to spend some time in peace and relax from the city”
“Las instalaciones están bastante descuidadas, tienen que mejorar la limpieza en las piletas, sobre todo en la de adentro. Las habitaciones están bien, son viejas, pero se puede dormir muy bien, tienen aire acondicionado. La pileta exterior es muy buena. Ofrecen una linda cena show de fin de año, me gustó mucho. Buena comida y atención. El café es muy feo, podrían mejorar eso también.”
“El hotel no está bien mantenido. Se nota que ha sido un hermoso edificio que dejaron venirse abajo por unos cuantos años. La limpieza es un punto que falla, tanto en el hotel como en las inmediaciones (tiene una zona trasera con canchas de tenis que pareciera estar abandonada hace años). Dos puntos a destacar son el desayuno (abundante y muy variado) y el capital humano; todos los que atienden son absolutamente cordiales en todo momento. Restó el hecho de haberme reventado un termo poniéndole agua hirviendo, pero no es algo a destacar. Si bien la relación precio/calidad no es acorde al estado del lugar, tanto el trato del personal, cómo la cercanía del casino (escasos metros), la reserva de fauna (enfrente) y la costa (un par de cuadras) hacen que volviera a elegirlo en otro momento.”
“Great place to relax”
