Stayed at AWA for 2 nights in January. The overall stay was sufficient but there are a number of things that travellers staying at this property should know: 1. Location. - Not great for the nightlife/beaches as both are far away 2. Room Size - Stayed in a Superior Deluxe and the room had barely enough room for the bed... more

AWA Boutique Hotel is a very charming trendy hotel located in Punta del Este (the actual city). The hotel is well designed and very clean with a great pool/cafe area. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful and recommended several great restaurants for us (Novacentro and Baby Gouda are both in La Barra and were both great). The only... more

Excellent Hotel, food exceptional and plenty of choice. Location of hotel good but could have benefited from a few bars etc around. Stayed for 4 nights and found the staff and everything about this place of exceptional standard, would visit again. Weather was a huge let down, no sunshine for the whole time, what a pitty. Rooms are of a... more

AWA is nothing short of a Zen masterpiece. Sleek, sophisticated, minimalistic & modern. I had the privilege of staying in AWA last spring.

I went there in May-2006. This hotel is very new and clean. Excelent staff, and very quiet. Near Punta Shopping and good restaurant. I enjoyed !!.. You can stay there, no bad surprises! more

I wish to strongly recommend this lovely new hotel in Punta del Este. It is very original, centrally located. The shopping mall is just a short distance away and you walk to the most important beaches in town. From the very beginning the satf welcomed us and made us feel right at home. All day long we enjoyed the peace... more

Yet another boutique & design hotel that doesn't quite live up to expectations. Brand new hotel located close to Punta Shopping, rooms are nice because they are new but there is really nothing special about them. When we rang to reserve the room I think they may have been putting the final lick of paint on the bedroom walls. Despite... more
