Hotéis em Carmelo

Prós: Everything

Contras: Nothing

Prós: Facilities Rooms

Contras: Wait staff a bit slow

Prós: Location, comfort, staff and facilities.

Contras: Price

Prós: Everything was excellent

Prós: We had a lovely dinner upon arrival and the grounds are just beautiful. Extremely lovely and attentive service.....and the best desert in Urguary.

Contras: Had room problems, spa needs updating.....however all our problems were taken care of in the best possible way that they could, by the general manger who was not even on the property. He was kind enough to take our complaints by phone call to heart and work out something that was satisfactory, that in it self is rare and appreciated. We also did not realize that it was a country holiday and the resorts was filled with young children which was not what we were anticipating.

Prós: Beautiful settings, hotel grounds are beautiful and wide, rooms are spacious. Great for families

Contras: Service was poor at checkin, and in a way this made the entire experience a poor one, since we had to change rooms.

Prós: Great hotel, great location!! Fantastic pool, close to the vineyards.

Contras: Room service could be improved.

Prós: The hotel is beautiful, the food is superb, the service is phenomenal, and the experience was memorable. We will be back as soon as we can.

Prós: Rooms are delightful to stay in, and housekeeping was impeccable – as well as bell boy service. Staff was amazing – kind, always ready to help, and went above and beyond in everything from the spa to the front desk and housekeeping. Breakfast was delicious: make sure to try the yogurt, which is made in the premises, as well as the dulce de leche and granola. Spa staff was incredible – the massages were great, the gym is well equipped and bike rental provided us with lovely forest incursions. Yoga and pastry classes crowned the overall experience.

Contras: Service at the Pura restaurant fell short of the overall hotel standard – we were forgotten at our table more than once. Food, on the other side, was delicious – the parrilla and pizzas are to die for!

Prós: Dinner was outstanding with international chef. Wonderful anniversary surprise with wine and sweet treats on arrival. Room service menu served hot. Cossaints were fresh and flakey. Great massage in the spa.

Contras: The queen bed was uncomfortable and hard.

Prós: the surrounding where beautiful. rooms were apartment size.

Contras: A faucets etc where not working well.... upon informing manager though, will be looked after.

Prós: atmosphere, decoration, style

Contras: niegbourhood view around hotel not so nice

Prós: Great hotel right across the street from the boat that arrives from Argentina, so we didn't have to get a taxi. Very quiet and awesome staff.

Contras: Nothing

Prós: Super friendly and helpful staff. Clean and safe.

Prós: Large room, many places to sit and relax. Friendly staff. Beautiful little hotel and a great place to stay in Carmelo.

Contras: Nothing

Prós: Excellent breakfast, quiet location, and helpful staff.

Prós: The courtesy of the employees

Contras: The breakfast could be better.

Prós: Nice view, Good location if arriving by boat

Contras: No elevator.

Prós: Very comfortable bed, great views. Interesting decor. Owner and staff very helpful. Gave us towels and mats for beach

Contras: We felt a bit pressured into going to visit some artists studio. We didn’t go.

Prós: We loved the location, the view (our room overlooked the river), the tranquility, but most of all, the staff were super friendly, helpful and very accurate in their suggestions. Very good value for money!!!!!!

Contras: We had a car to move around, maybe if you go by bus you are not close to the most interesting places to visit. We didn't need one but in summer a swiming pool would be great!

Prós: Very nice room with a good view over the river

Prós: Our room was beautiful, comfortable and surrounded by vineyards. The receptionist showed us around the property and made us feel at home. The cheese and wine tasting was generous. We had the ravioli for dinner which was fantastic. Breakfast the next morning was huge and delicious. It was cold so we didn’t swim but the pool looked clean and inviting. With only four or five rooms it is a very romantic place.

Contras: Our air conditioning leaked in the room and there was no one who could fix it. The receptionist spoke great English but she was the only one. The explanations of the wine were written in Spanish and our waitress couldn’t communicate with us at all. It was a bit isolating. And I know, we were in a foreign country, it is unrealistic to expect people to speak our language, but almost all of the guests were English speaking.

Prós: Excellent breakfast using products from Narbona . Good wine tasting.

Prós: This is a beautiful Relais & Chateaux property. Exquisite attention to detail in the decor of the entire inn. From the huge guest rooms to the common areas. We were in the Tannat suite and our daughters were in the Sauvignon Blanc suite. Both were gorgeous with vineyard views. The staff is so helpful and accommodating. They prepared a wonderful picnic lunch for us on short notice which we ate in the vineyard overlooking the river. Guests are able to roam the entire property and go in and out of the buildings at their leisure. Bicycles and a 4x4 atv is at the guests' disposal to explore the vineyards. The restaurant is in one of the original buildings and has excellent food. The included breakfast is very good. All of the cheeses, yogurts, and jams are made onsite or nearby by Narbona. It was a treat to stay here. Would definitely recommend.

Contras: Nothing.

Prós: The lodge is as charming as it gets

Contras: The iron stairs to get to the rooms - too steep especially when coming down

Prós: Beautiful house and very spacious common room and garden. Very clean. Lovely place to relax. Delicious breakfast!

Contras: Nothing.

Prós: Lovely helpful staff, a few free bikes that we used to visit amazing local wineries that were booked for us. Lovely living area with open fire for drinking wine next to in the evening. Great private room with good shower.

Contras: Tiny bed for us but fine for one night.

Prós: Carmelo is fairly sparse in the central area so not many options. This hotel had a nice communal sitting area, fireplace, music. The location is central.

Contras: Shared bathroom was unisex. Only two showers, no soaps, etc. The staff was fairly standoffish. Our room only had a window that was located at the floorboards with a metal grating.

Prós: Ah'lo hostel is in a great location, very clean and comfortable. We stayed in 2 different rooms during our stay as we extended by a night and the downstairs room was just a little bit loud with people walking around upstairs, it is an old building though. Breakfast was lovely, great choice and served at one big dining table which is a great way to meet people. Only negative is the condition of the bikes (one has a broken seat but no tools to fix it and most had flat tyres we had to pump up before using) as they could be maintained a little better. But a great stay and would definitely stay again!

Prós: Everything !

Contras: Nothing!

Prós: The staff was very kind and helped me to understand the area and how to get to the wineries. The breakfast was delicious and the rooms were comfortable and clean.

Contras: I would have preferred more information about how the shared rooms where arranged prior to arrival.

Prós: A lovely converted house with loads of character. The little garden was beautiful and the whole place had a definite boutique vibe. The staff, especially the lady on reception, were amazingly helpful when we had trouble leaving Carmelo due to flooding a boats hitting the bridge. They also had lots of different wine tours and tasting packages on offer. A great place to stay!

Prós: Clean place. Well equipped kitchen. We could get an early breakfast before leaving. Everything you would expect from a good hostel. Nice garden

Contras: The walls are a bit thin...

Prós: Spacious rooms, lots of welcoming communal space. Well located in the town of Carmelo, very positive friendly staff. Reception staffed until 11pm. Quiet place to stay.

Contras: Bathroom could have been cleaner- my towels needed rewashing. No hot water one evening and feeble shower. Some street noise, though didn’t affect my ability to sleep.

Prós: This is the first time we have ever rated a property a 10 in South America. Simply an amazing property near the central plaza. A quick bike ride to several playas. Bus and ferry terminals are nearby. Carmelo is very relaxed. “No sufras con lo poco.” The kitchen is a plus which we used twice for dinners. Central air, comfortable bed, accommodating staff. We stayed in a room with a private bath, but also saw the rooms that shared a bath and they were nice. Everything is clean and well-kept. It may not be the Four Seasons , but for us it was near perfect.

Prós: We had an amazing time at Campotinto. The posada is located in the heart of the Carmelo vineyard near an old chapel. The landscape is gorgeous and perfect to enjoy sunsets. The posada is a charming little hotel with one main house and one extension. Everything is very clean and well maintained. A nice little pool that is very safe for kids (we went there with our 18 months old son). The restaurant is excellent: simple food extremely well executed (we tried two nights in a row and it was consistant). We thought that both the food and wine at the posada were very good value for money. You can stroll through their vineyard and they have a charming little house where you can taste all their wines. They also have bikes that you can borrow for free and they were in a very good state. But most importantly what made our stay so great was the staff: everybody was super friendly, polite, helpful, never stuffy and made us feel at home. This is the perfect place if you want to discover Carmelo over a long week end, taste some good wine and enjoy simple Uruguayan and italian food. Absolutely recommend it. And great with kids.

Contras: Seriously I have nothing negative to say about that place.

Prós: The whole state and the room.

Contras: The bathroom could be cleaner. The gears on the bikes didn't work. Activities about wine processing could be better organized. The menu at the restaurant could have more variety. 8:30 pm it's late to start eating. Why there's a cover charge for paying guests?

Prós: Peaceful setting amazing tranquility with all the qualities of a European winery stay ! Staff were so kind and the surrounding bodegas/wineries Campotinto and Almacén de la Capilla were so close!! A great place to stay visit the vineyards by bike o horse ride ! Safe and friendly for lone travellers !!

Contras: Nothing negative to report except that you need at least 2 nights in this beautiful hotel !

Prós: We stayed here already 4 years ago, and came back as we were inplanned in the area and liked the former stay. Location and the posada is awesome

Contras: Hot water run out after one person taking a shower. Breakfast was very poor, old bread very bad coffee no eggs, nothing fresh available. No go in this category and not comparable to our last stay

Prós: Beautiful Inn in the heart of the wine country in Carmelo. Bikes are available to ride through the vineyards and to other wineries close by. Large room with comfortable bed, nice bathroom, very clean. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast is good and dinner at restaurant was very good as well. Setting is very quiet and peaceful. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting this area in Uruguay!

Prós: Breakfasts were good. We didn't have a car, which most visitors do here, so the staff organised wine tours for us and taxis to other places. Pool is lovley in the extensive grounds.

Contras: The food was good in the restaurant, but the menu is very short and we were there for 5 nights and during that time, the menu didn't change at lunch or dinner. Even though we ate out about half the time, it would have been nice to have at least a special of the day.

Prós: HUGE rooms (we booked the superior rooms) with a semi private patio, sitting area, firm king bed, and modern bathrooms. Restaurant on site was closed 2 of the 3 days we stayed but all meals we had there were good. Breakfast is included and while basic is hot and staff is attentive. Great location and within walking distance to a couple of wineries for tasting. Pool is well maintained with several lounges and a shaded area. Would stay again.

Contras: Bikes were in poor condition, many missing parts and we had to pump up the tires before using (although it was easy to get a bike pump from the front desk).

Prós: Location was hood

Contras: Poor food, inattentive staff and lack of managerial direction

Prós: Best part -- killing time at the tasting bungalow, drinking red and eating superb house empanadas.

Prós: Location

Contras: Poor breakfast

Prós: The person handling the place really was willing to do do the best .

Contras: The room could be better furnished . Too basic .

Prós: Comfortable place to spend a night when you're on the road

Contras: Nothing

Prós: The accommodation was a bit outside of town. It was halfway between town and beach.The room was clean and comfortable. There was a nice seating in front of the house in the green. The breakfast was exceptionally good - homemade cakes..

Contras: During the day the place was quiet. In the evening there was more noise from the motorscooters driving to the beach.

Prós: Tranquil place opposite the historic Casino Hotel with great pool and restaurant shared with Hotel Playa Sere . The staff were generous helpful and professional !! Muchas Gracias señoras del Hotel Playa .

Contras: Nothing negative to say !

Prós: The pool was okay.

Contras: Complete lack of maintenance. The building is completely uncared for. The common places were not clean. The staff could speak no English. Our window when we opened was dirty and falling apart. The breakfast was poor. This is a one to two star at best.

Prós: Good breakfast. Good service.

Contras: Wifi not so good at the room

Prós: I strongly recommend not staying in this hotel. Poor maintenance, Old, bad smell, swimming pool water full of bugs swimming around. Disgusting to say the least.

Prós: Location

Contras: Lacks maintenance: water pressure in the shower wasn’t enough, the carpet is ancient and shabby, the shades don’t block the light and there are no blackout curtains. They should offer fruit for breakfast, cream cheese and eggs.

Prós: Best value option in the area if you want a swimming pool, I recommend the bar menu - by Uruguay standards, the pizza was very good! If you want to enjoy the sun with a beer outside, this place is perfect. However, the rooms desperately need a refurbish and the restaurant decor is something out of the 1950's. The restaurant menu could do with a complete overhaul.

Prós: The breakfast was excellent. Dinner was ok, nothing special. Could be a little more imaginative, it's the same menu they've had in Uruguay for the past sixty years; shower was good; staff very pleasant.

Contras: the carpets have seen better days. Uruguay should have a law against noisy mopeds and motorbikes, although this is not a concern of the hotel. Siestas can be ruined!

Prós: If you love the charm of faded glory, this hotel will hit a soft spot! It's charming in a squeaky floor kind of way. We had a large and spacious family room, which could have used a make-over but served us well enough. The interior pool could be featured in a Hitchock movie, scary and eerie, but the outside pool was lovely though! The walk towards the river is not too far and a dip in the Rio Uruguay is just a wonderful experience!

Contras: A bit outdated but in the end nothing really bad. A passing by hotel. As said, the interior pool needs to be replaced with something a bit more lively. But do have a look at the pool! It has something!
