Huge rooms confidently designed with colour and panache. Hugo the owner, in his 80s, is an ex fashion designer and it shows in the aesthetic. This is his home and it feels that way, especially with his 2 lovely dogs befriending guests. Charming staff (not much English, but Hugo speaks fluently), good breakfasts and a delightful small pool. Located across from the beach, on the edge of a very smart residential area. So much nicer than the horrid, high-rise concrete boxes on offer in Punta del Este, a 10 minute drive away.

I took my young family of 5 here for a week and it was a great experience. The food was amazing, the rooms clean and spacious, the location was right across the street from a handful of great surf breaks...Hugo and his staff were very attentive and helpful. We would strongly recommend staying at Hotel La Bluette when traveling to Uruguay!

If You planning a romantic trip to a little French paradise then you found your perfect spot. We stayed here for 3 nights and we love totally everything about it! Starting from an amazing attention of a staff and hotel’s owner to the balcony view, morning delicious breakfast and the best pizza we tried in years! This hotel is also situated close to a beach, seriously it’s enough that you cross the street and you can enjoy a wonderful gigantic seashore( with lifeguards). We wish to come back here soon!!

Hello! Thank you very much for taking the time to write such a nice report on Tripadvisor. We always try to make people who visit us at La Bluette feel like they would at a friends house! The personalized breakfast from 9am to 1 noon follows the same line that people can feel relaxed and at ease! We loved your rating of Filippo's pizza, because at the moment only a month and a half ago we opened, but bringing all the experience, equipment and many of its components from Italy. We appreciate you telling us your experiences with us, discounting that they will serve other travelers and we hope to see you soon !!

Great experience , the rooms and building are very nicely decorated. People at the hotel very kind and helpful . Everything was perfect , right in front of the beach and the neighborhood great for going walking and jogging. Best discovery was to find that the hotel has the best pizza restaurant in punta del este within the compound ! named Filippo . Totally recommend this place ! Monica and Antonio

Thank you very much to take the time to write on Tripadvisor! We are very happy that you had such a great time at La Bluette !! And we also love that you enjoyed Filippo & their pizzas. In Italy I asked what was the best ingredient for the pizza and they told me: "The best ingredient is to make it with passion and enjoy it with friends" !! (This is what we try to do in Filippo !!) Thank you very much again and have a great 2019! Hugo

Nice boutique hotel/BB. We had a spacious room with a large balcony, terrace. Beautiful view on the beach and ocean. Unfortunately a rather busy and noisy road between the 20room hotel and the beach. In itself the hotel is a nice yellow building with a large hall, sitting area, but a bit worn out. The large double bed is good. Two arm chairs and a table complete the room. But in the spacious bathroom all taps, also the shower, are dripping leaving an irritating soft noise. It is impossible to have the shower on a continuous same temperature. Flushing the toilet needs a very very strong push. The curtains in the bedroom could not darken the room leaving the room in full day light as from 6 a.m. Though the water from the tap is not drinkable not even a small bottle of water is present upon arrival. There is a small swimming pool on the inside patio, but it was not working due to a defect pump (we were informed). Around the swimming pool the pool beds looked quite worn out. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast, being served, is very good. With ample fruits, fresh orange juice and eggs to your liking. It is more a bed and breakfast than a hotel, as there is no bar service.

Hello! Thanks LoukdeW for taking the time to make such a thorough report of your stay at La Bluette. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay with us! Yes, as we told you at the time we had problems with a replacement filter pool, because it is imported from Spain and had to bring the spare and that took, especially in the Customs. Luckily we are facing the largest pool in the world, (Atlantic Ocean) that surely you know very well, judging by the beautiful sailboat that appears in your photo!. LoukdeW, again thanks & have a great 2019 !!

Once a beautiful home, turned into a hotel, with lovely furnishings. Many of the rooms have private balconies. The beach is just across the road. The surrounding neighborhood is very nice beach houses and great for walking or jogging. Several good restaurants nearby, or in 15 minutes you can be in the more developed part of Punta del Este. Breakfast was excellent, with eggs, fruit and other offerings. I'm not sure if the pool is swimmable in the summer season...we were there off-season and it was not maintained at that time and we didn't inquire. The owners/staff were all very helpful.

Hello!! Many thks. for your nice Tripadvisor report!! We feel happy that you can enjoy your vacations in La Bluette! One time one guest told me: " I like La Bluette because with only crossing the street we can enjoy the Ocean, the Beach & Bagatelle Beach Bar and Restaurant ( from Saint Tropez-France )!! " And I said....You have the Hotel swimming pool too, and he said smiling: "At home in Vancouver, we have two swimming pools ( indoor & outdoor pool), BUT we travel to Punta to enjoy your Summer, this Beach & the Ocean ...not your swimming pool" jajaja!! Anyways, this summer we have many problems with the swimming pool ! ( rain & problems with the filter machine )...I´m sorry! Many thanks one more time & I hope see you again in La Bluette!! Kind regards!! Hugo d´Amato

It's not the Ritz, and it's not meant to be, so it does tick all the boxes of a charming "get away" nest. There is no TV in your room, or phone, or enough power outlets to set up any kind of decent working space.... but there is a purpose with that: You can actually talk with the other people around you! So if you're not easygoing while on vacations, or a dog-person, then I suggest you go for something else in Punta. The kindness and the customer service of all the tenants and the staff is beyond anything We have ever witnessed, from sorting us out travel arrangements to repeatedly offering us a lift and making us DELICIOUS breakfast ( served until 13:00 !), and even preparing us some nice surprises during our stay ( amazing snacks, even a romantic dinner!). Also, the 2 fantastic dogs make the place feel like your own family vacation home. The rooms are very well decorated with good taste and very clean and comfortable, at night you see can hear waves( the beach is less than 60 meters in front of the entrance.) and "grillos" and you feel very far away from everything. Was very relaxing. The main suite is definitely worth it ,we stayed there the last 2 nights, there you can wake up with the sunrise while still in bed, priceless!

So easy, so chilled and Hugo is so helpful and lovely. No this is not a five star hotel but there is ample hot water, the AC works, the bed is comfortable, it is clean and most of all it feels like staying in Hugo's home. Don't stay here if you want to hang by the pool. But the beach is across the street and the location is great as it is just a short and scenic walk to La Barra shops and restaurants. Would recommend to anyone that isn't looking for cookie cutter accommodation.

First time I write a review of this kind. I have read all reviews before booking, and it is now obvious people who wrote them have never been to a 4 or 5 star hotel. The facilities need complete improvement and maintenance. Uninviting pool due to wild and unkept landscape which also wouldn't let any sun come into the room, not to mention then the humid smell. This is a 2 or maybe 3 star hotel at the most. The building itself is beautiful and could be gorgeous if completely improved, but it is not the case. Breakfast is ok if you wouldn't have to wait 45 minutes every morning to be served. Still in the highest season and only two people serving? Unbelievable. Once there, we realized there are too many better options around for the same price. However, great location (you still need a car), friendly owners and staff members.

As part of a long trip through South America we had a break at La Barra beach and hotel La Bluette. We really enjoyed our stay in this friendly and family run hotel. The owner was very helpful and we really loved their home made pasta and pizzas. Breakfast was outstanding!
