Great location and really helpful staff. The rooms were comfortable and right on the beach (less than 1 min walk). It is close to all the restaurants but still very quiet and homely. We would highly recommend this hotel for a stay in La Barra! 5 out of 5

Great hotel in La Barra

The hotel is ideally situated between the beach and the lifely main street. Very pleasant owners who look after their guests. Rooms well maintained and clean. The breakfast offered is simple but good and tge staff cares. Parking in front of the hotel at no cost.


Ideal

First the positives - perfect location, helpful staff, clean hotel.  The location was by far the biggest strength of Villa de Mar.  It's a one minute walk to a small-ish but nice public beach and a one minute walk to the main street in La Barra, where there are numerous restaurants and shops within easy walking distance.  The owner was very kind, spoke English well, and did his best to help with any questions.  The staff-member working at night was also very nice but didn't speak English.  

The negative for me was the price.  You are definitely paying for the location because you get a small, no frills room, with no furniture and an uncomfortable bed (and very erratic wifi).  To be fair, everything in La Barra and Punta del Este was pricey, but I still couldn't shake the feeling that I wasn't getting quite what I paid for.  But overall, it was still a decent place to stay, especially if you don't plan to spend much time in the room.

Great location, not great value

A very cosy family-run hotel, with a fantastic location one minute walk from a beautiful beach.
From our hotel room we could see the ocean, and had a nice view of the sunset colours - even without a sea view room.

The staff was extremely nice and helpful, and were patient with all our requests - they even loan out sunscreen 70 to sunburnt guests (note: the sun is REALLY strong in the Punta del Este area, as we found out firsthand...). They also lend out beach chairs/lounges and beach towels (free of charge) to hotel guests.

Before deciding on where to stay we were not so sure where "La Barra" was, but it turned to be a very good choice - much better than Punta del Este when not a teenager.. Nice restaurants and a few bars, and very classy beaches and people. And also it´s a relatively short distance to visit the famous Bikini Beach (not so sure why it´s famous, the La Barra beach was much better) and also to José Ignacio where the rich & beautiful hang out and where there are several excellent restaurants. 

If we go back, we would definitely choose this hotel again! We have been staying at a lot of the big chain hotels in Argentina (i.e. Sheraton) and it was really nice for a change to have the cosy and familiar atmosphere that this hotel provided - it felt like staying at somebody´s home.

Super location close to a beautiful beach, & great value for money!

This small, quiet hotel is located in the heart of bustling La Barra. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Rooms are very basic but you're paying for your proximity to the beach and nightlife which are all steps away.

Charming, well located, very helpful staff, centrally located on the beach.

Location is great for La Barra as it is very central. It is a one-minute-walk to the bars, restaurants and even to the beach. It is also very quiet. But we did not sleep well as the beds were terrible. They had plastic under the sheets which made sleeping noisy and uncomfortable. The hotel was also not very clean. Breakfast was ok. And staff was more or less friendly.
