"Spent 4 days and 4 nights at Hotel del Lago with my wife for a vacation and to golf. The staff was great, extremely helpful and hospitable. The building is a bit run down, as mentioned in other reviews, so that was expected. Could definitely use a deep cleaning, but we were there in the Spring so may have had some lingering winter dust to knock off. The breakfast was good, standard Uruguayan resort breakfast from our experience, the dinner had some good dishes too, and with Punta del Lago 20 minutes away the options are bountiful.
Can tell that this is definitely a family-oriented place and I image it gets very busy in the summer. Lot's to do. Paddle-boarding, biking, tennis, spa treatment and golf. There was also an impressive amount of artwork.
Club del Lago is maintained but clearly not used as much as it used to be. The course is not irrigated except for the greens, so many of the fairways were local weeds/grass with dirt patches, which added to the challenge. It was near empty and had an extremely mellow vibe. Staying at the hotel we did get "free" golf, but cart rentals were $40-$80 for 9/18 holes, which was fine as the carts were newer and nice. Wife rented clubs, they were "ok". Beautiful course with some great holes and very good scenery. Weather was perfect, the vibe was excellent, the course just wasn't maintained up to US standards but was still a great experience altogether. Definitely recommend, just know it's going to be a unique experience!"
"Hotel Fasano is located outside Punta Del Este in a somewhat remote location. It is pricey, but absolutely out-of-this-world beautiful! Staff, service and accommodations were impeccable. David, the manager, is hands-on, very responsive, and on top of everything. We will be back!"

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel is private, exclusive & ideal for relaxing comfort. The owner & staff were highly attentive to guests needs. Facility as a whole including rooms are extremely clean, and comfortable, the food is at another level of superb, and gives that extra touch of an exclusive bed & breakfast vibe, not to mention all the fun one can have with the LGTBQ family; clothing optional. "Mario" the owner is the best. Highly recommend this hotel."
