Hampton by Hilton Montevideo Carrasco
My only negative comment: pleas use fitted sheets in beds, the bottom sheets get undone very easily because they are not fitted. Otherwise everything was excellent with the hotel!

Amazing experience. Thoughtful professional staff within a perfectly maintained luxury hotel on a World Class Beach. Five Star food and coffee I will be dreaming of for months. Spent a week there feeling as if I was going home each night.
