I was a bit concerned reading the previous reviews, but the hotel wasn’t that bad. Sure it needs some improvements, but being the cheapest one, it was to e expected. Staff was very nice and breakfast decent. I actually extended my stay by 1 more night.

Better off staying at a hostel
Worst hotel I have ever visited. Besides being overpriced it was disgusting. I walked around the room with my flip flops on and if it wasn't because every other hotel was booked (stayed for new years) we would have left immediately.

Worst hotel I have EVER stayed at
Well, this hotel certainly will be remembered by me and my husband as THE worst hotel. Not only was it smelly and disgustingly dirty, it was EXPENSIVE! Do not let the photos mislead you. The photos looked nice and I thought we should stay at a nice place during our stay in Punta Del Este, and everything is pretty expensive there anyway, but I wish we would have paid more to stay somewhere clean. Luckily we only stayed 1 night, but we seriously thought about sleeping in our rental car. This hotel desperately needs to be updated. The carpets are very dirty and the rooms are as well. The lobby smells like body odor and the rooms smell like a toilet. Disgusting. We have traveled all over the world and stayed in hostels to 5 star hotels and everything in between. On this trip we were traveling through Chile-Argentina-Uruguay-Brazil for 1 month, so we stayed in several places, and really it was that awful. Cheap hostels we stayed in were much cleaner and better taken care of. I do not recommend staying here at all. The staff was also quite a dissapointment. They were dressed in street clothes, no uniforms, and just lounging around reading magazines and playing on the computer.

Great location!
Hotel Aqua is located in the heart of Punta del Este. This prime location made everything on the peninsula extremely accessible. The staff was very helpful and went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. We also greatly enjoyed the breakfast that was provided each day. The only negatives were the conditions of the carpet and paint on the walls - both are in need or repair. On the other hand the bed was very comfortable and the shower worked well.
