My wife and I visited on our honeymoon. The staff knew this ahead of time, and on the evening of our arrival there was a complimentary bottle of champagne in our room. I thought that was a nice touch. Also, our flight in was delayed and we arrived quite late, but they kept the restaurant open so we could enjoy... More

We stayed on recommendation of a friend and loved this town. I could retire there! The hotel was small, charming, but there was a knocking sound all night long in our room. We asked the staff to see about it and they came to our room and said they couldn't do anything. Clearly there was a shutter or a door... More

We stayed a couple of days in this nice hotel in José Ignacio last January. Overall a very nice place. We had booked a standard room but that was sort of a disappoitment (no view at all) so we upgraded to a beautiful room on the first floor with great views of the sea and the sunset. The beach bar...

The place is, as another reviewer writes, a corner of heaven. Stunning views, simple and elegant rooms, perfect breakfasts, attentive but un-invasive staff. Great idea to have an honesty cocktail bar by the pool. Truly relaxing holidays - and in my view wonderful not to have tv's in the rooms!!

Fantastic boutique hotel with an ideal location. Amongst some of the best restaurants in the area, pasada del faro also has a wonderful restaurant. Great property, pool and wonderful staff who don't fuss. A perfect escape.

La Posada del Faro is a delightful boutique hotel in a quiet seaside town, 40 km from the hustle of Punta del Este -- whose light are viisble in the distance at night. It is not cheap -- a classic case of paying more for less, and getting ideal service, peace and quiet -- and worth every penny. The hotel... More

This is the place you want to come to if you're exhausted from the big city life. Here, everything is mellow. It's just like being in a large house, that you happen to share with a few other guests. The house dog just completes that picture. Perfect location, a few minutes walk to the few restaurants in town, and right... More

JJ, from the 70's TV show Good Times, would love this place b/c it is Dyyyy-no-miiiiiite!! It's kinda small-- about the size of its neighboring beach houses, but still it pops--clean, good-sized suites (at least the upper corner ones) with a homey backyard, pool deck and cool little swim-up bar, sweet views of the sand dunes, south atlantic, and sunset,...
