We stayed at Hotel Fasano Punta del Este for 2 nights during a month-long trip in South America (@wolfestreettravel on Instagram and wolfestreettravel.com). After agonizing over whether to stay at Hotel Fasano or Estancia Vik or Bahia Vik during our stay in the Punta del Este / Jose Ignacio area, we finally chose Hotel Fasano based on the individual villa accommodations (there do not appear to be rooms with outdoor space at Estancia Vik, for example). We are so incredibly happy with the choice. The super cool / brutalist-style hotel and villas are top notch in every way, service was spectacular, and our dinner in the main restaurant (only open 3 days a week) was one of our dining highlights of the trip. Only downside was that a resident fox stole a Birkenstock that was left outside on our villa terrace! We wish we had planned our trip to stay another night at Hotel Fasano.

This spot is not what I read about and we paid a lot of money to get. It is also impossible to get a response from their staff. A waste of time and money. I would not recommend it because all of these reasons.

The Fasano deserves its recognition as a Leading Hotel of the World. The accomodation was beautiful and spacious. The food was superlative. The bread on site is to die for. The waiters at the lovely and unique pool area were polite and attentive. The front desk was helpful and went out of their way to assist. The fitness centre was one of the most modern and well-equipped gym I have been to while travelling abroad. Finally, my massage was excellent. We highly recommend this Fasano resort!

This hotel is located in the 1,200 acre property of Las Piedras, a gate guarded community just outside of Punta del Este. This vast master-planned community offers every amenity you could possibly want: miles of walking and biking trails; a helipad, a private airstrip. a golf course, 4 tennis courts, stables, an indoor and outdoor arena; 3 restaurants; a private beach club, shooting range, polo field and spa. The hotel is small and there are bungalows for rent, as well as private bungalows and homes, all in a sleek architectural style that disappear into the undulating terrain. The staff at the hotel was very professional and courteous. And, the food was delicious. This is a very special place that is relaxing or as active as you want.

Located far away from the busy city of Punta del Este, in a beautiful area with great views. Huge resort area with golf course, river club and also many private homes, so the area is really big and you can make long walks or bike rides in this resort. The sunsets are fantastic. Really an outstanding location. I really loved it because it was very quiet and relaxing. Also the architecture of the hotel and the whole resort is excellent. Very modern but still cozy. The main house with two restaurants, reception and lounge is very nice and boasts great views over the whole area. The design is definitely a great plus in this hotel. The design of the rooms is also very nice. They have fantastic views and the sunsets are to die for. The bathrooms is big with a large shower. The room has also enough room for clothes. Unfortunately there is not so much light so it can be difficult to find a place for reading where you have enough light. The Spa is very nice, has a big gym and a small pool and some saunas. Two tennis courts are located in a nice area. The river club is nice but be aware there are many mosquitoes on the riverside. The hotel is beautiful as mentioned above, however there are two areas of improvement: while most staff members are extremely friendly, the service is not on a very high level. You often need to ask for simple things, many things are forgotten. The second improvement point is the food quality which is also not corresponding to the level of the hotel. Hopefully they can improve these two main areas, then it could be a perfect place. I would like to thank the management for their support in solving some issues during my stay which I really appreciated. Overall I had a very nice stay in this beautiful location. I hope they will improve the points mentioned in order to be a truly top hotel.
