We stayed at Bonne Etoile for three nights and used it as our home base while exploring Punta del Este and the surrounding area. The location was excellent—within easy walking distance of restaurants, the marina, shopping, and many of the downtown attractions. It was convenient to leave the car parked and explore much of the area on foot.
Breakfast was included each morning and offered a wide variety of options, with something for everyone. The coffee was wonderful!It was a great way to start the day before heading out to explore.
One thing we especially appreciated was the flexibility and hospitality of the staff. When we checked in, there were two available rooms that matched our reservation, and they kindly allowed us to view both rooms and choose the one we preferred. It was a thoughtful touch that made us feel very welcome. They also helped arrange laundry service, with the clothes picked up in the morning and returned later that same evening at a reasonable price.
The hotel also provided complimentary parking in a garage that was secured and closed overnight. We were able to come and go with our rental car as needed, which was very convenient during our stay.
Most importantly, every member of the staff—from the front desk to housekeeping to the breakfast team—was friendly, professional, and eager to help. Their hospitality played a big part in making our stay enjoyable.
We would gladly stay here again on a future visit to Punta del Este.
