Hotel Aqua  

In the heart of Punta del Este’s Peninsula, a city-center spot steps from Gorlero Avenue and Calle 20. Minutes from Casino Nogaro and both Brava and Mansa beaches, with the shoreline under 100 meters away.

Minimalist, white-on-white design after a full renovation in 2004–05. Seventy air-conditioned rooms — some with French balconies or private terraces offering garden or sea views — queen beds, cable TV, and private bathrooms with rainfall showers and designer toiletries. Bright, open lobby, elevator access and multilingual staff.

Bar/lounge, on-site restaurant and a cafe for snacks. Library, concierge and a tour desk to book excursions. Shuttle and roundtrip airport transfers available for a surcharge, plus laundry, dry cleaning, car rental and safe-deposit boxes. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings from terrace rooms.

Complimentary wireless internet in rooms and public areas keeps you connected. 24-hour front desk and concierge services make quick work of travel logistics.

Taste local Uruguayan flavors at the hotel restaurant, grab a drink at the bar or a quick bite in the cafe. Room service is available during limited hours.
