We went there with our twin babies out of season. We seemed to be the only people in the hotel but (perhaps for that reason) had excellent and friendly service and were upgraded into a palatial and beautiful suite. Nice pool and spa centre - and has its own full size cinema (with popcorn). Expensive but recommended for a big... more

Mantra seems to be the only 4/5 star resort in Punta del Este. Its a very nice hotel with all the amenties you could ask for. What it lacks in personality and character it makes up for with amenities (spa, movie theater, pool, bus to the beach, excellent concierge service). Watch out for the hotel arranged transfer services - a... more

Having been in other hotels of the Leading Hotels of the World group, we expected much more from Mantra. The lobby and lobby lounge are a disappointment - cold, not tastefully decorated, and look like the 80s. The front desk staff is not always the best - we arrived on a Saturday night, and no one asked if we wanted... more

I just got back from Punta with 3 of my single buddies. We stayed at the Mantra. The hotel is just ok. It is well laid out, it has some nice decor but it just misses the mark. I felt like I was at a slightly nicer version of Club Med. The concierge guys were not all that helpful, they... more

I stayed here with my wife and kids in January 06, after an exhausting (but wonderful) expedition cruise to Antarctica. Our plan was to enjoy a few days relaxing on the beach and enjoying the comforts of a 5-star hotel. After sorting out our booking (after a bit of a mix-up on arrival),we were taken to our rooms which were... more

This is a fabulous Hotel and Spa. Our only complaint is that as a honeymooning couple, there were way too many screaming kids poolside. Unlike other 5 star properties, this hotel does not have a children's pool/area. Concierge and all the service was fantastic. They can find you anything you want, and will go the extra mile. There have been... more

This is a nice, luxury resort. It has everyhing you would expect from that. A private beach you can walk to with ocean access; a lovely pool area; helpful staff; free internet; good restaurants. We were there pre-season so we couldn't take advantage of the beach and not everything was open unfortunately. However, the room has nice and large with... more

Mantra is by far the best hotel i have ever been to, i went to the cinema, the pools were excellent and the beach was ideally located near it! the rooms very brilliant and the staff were always there to help whenever you need! there were also many events taking place and i went to the fondue evening...it was amazing,... more

We took a side trip from BA to Punta Del Este this past January-and it was by far the best four days spent on the trip. It was relaxing and fun, not as hustle and bustle as our last days in Buenos Aires. The service and help of the staff was exceptional. We have experience staying at the Four Season... more
