Punta Ballena Lapataia Hotels

"The room was great - spacious, clean, and comfortable. The staff was incredibly helpful with excellent restaurant selections. Highy recommended. "

"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!"

"My husband and I speak mainly English and a little Spanish, and the staff was so kind and willing to help us with all of our needs and questions when we got lost and confused. I recommend this place to everyone who are looking for peace, quiet, and kindness. "

"Terrible, dirty and disgusting property. Old, tired and smelly studio apartment. Very shocked that Expedia will rate this property 3 stars—if I could give it 0 star, I would be very generous. Shame on Expedia for having this property advertised on their platform. "

"My only problem was check in, is a pain to do it and u need to go different places to check with all the adults and that make more difficult to do. Other then that is a good place to relax in family or alone is a lot stuff to do. Love it. "
