The resort is nice enough but the over the top prices do not match the level of the hotel or service. One lesson learned - you really must rent a car when staying or else you could find yourself paying $100 round trip in taxi fees to go somewhe 15 minutes away.

This is a beautiful hotel with a lovely spa. Good room service, nice pool, front desk staff nice ans helpful. A nice chap on the door who gets taxis for you very quickly. But a usd 30 taxi ride away from the 'main' punta beach but I think the niceness of the hotel makes it worth it.

We spent 7 dayn at Mantra, and it was a very nice experience (quite pricey though). Service was very good, but the hotel should try to become a little more modern, with a better wifi service, or more computers available to the guests. But considering prrice performance, it was certainly one of the top hotels in the region. SPA is... More

This property is amazing and the amenities are top notch. The linen sheets were something that I will never forget. However, the service here was a little off the mark. I figured because we were on Uruguay that it was a challenge, but for the price, they need to step up. The beach was fantastic. And the pool was one... More

Beautiful resort, nice casino and spa, comfortable bed and beautiful rooms. Staff is very polite and friendly but service around the pool take a long time to serve you and at the beach you have to go at the bar, because they don't have servers around the guests! Pez Negro is my favorite sushi restaurant now. It belongs to Mantra... More

I found the apartment and bathroom really good, nice bed, shower, towels, and the gym room. But I also got frustrated how poor was pool service. Employees didnt go ask guests what they want to order, we had to request them always. They didnt clean up dirt tables, we also had to call them to do it... In a general... More

I'm currently staying here for an event being held in Mantra's convention center. The resort is beautiful, clean, comfortable and peaceful. The gym blew me away with the amount of new equipment they have including full pilates machines with daily classes and a spin room with regular classes. It's winter so I haven't been able to enjoy the pool but... More

A nice hotel albeit quite expensive (even off-off-season). Service was just okay and there were very few guests at the time (I believe only 12 of the 99 rooms were filled). You would've thought service would've been much more personal or attentive w/ so few people there but it was quite low-key instead. The room was very comfortable and the... More

Great location in La Barra, near Punta Del Este. Quiet and tranquil resort. (Well, we were there Off-season and I doubt that it would be the same during HIgh-season.) Very spacious and modern rooms, offering in room Wi-Fi service, which by the way worked great. Bathrobes and other amenities to be found in room. Nice private terrace in front of... More

Mantra is really a cozy place to stay. You feel like home and the hotel, pool etc is in top condition. The only thing that didn't fit was that the indoor pool was heated like a sauna. And the outdoor pool (which is definitely the nicer one) was cold like ice. You need a car when you stay there, you... More
