directly opposite a nice beach (big waves) lovely big bright communal areas, free umbrellas and chairs for the beach. On the Manantiales edge of La Barra so 10 mins walk to the main strip - realistically you want to have a car. Lovely helpful owners. We had a very large suite - for Punta peak time thought $250 wasn't bad value. Pool looked nice but we were only there for one night and didn't end up using it. Left $300 in my room - returned the next day and they had it for me. Totally trustworthy.

I too am blown away by all the positive feedback about this hotel....it seems really questionable actually.
We had read all the great reviews on this site, & given the premium price we paid to stay here - on our honeymoon - we had reasonably high expectations for this 'hotel'.... We were very disappointed.
It is a nice (albeit a bit rundown) old European looking villa, but our room was old, outdated & had nothing in the way of modern conveniences you would expect for the price we paid - (ie - tv, air con, nice towels or sheets or bathroom products). The 'hotel' (read: bed & breakfast) also lacked facilities & atmosphere.
We quickly realised a car was mandatory - you will definitely need transport if you stay here. Yes, the owners were nice enough, but nothing out of the ordinary..

Really like La Barra, though (however this hotel is not in La Barra, it's further down the highway).

Also - this is the first bad review I've written on a hotel - we are not generally whingers!!

My husband, nine month old son and I stayed at Hotel La Bluette at the end of March. We traveled there from Buenos Aires and it was so nice to trade the hustle and bustle of the city for the space and serenity of Hotel La Bluette. The location in La Barra is perfect, away from the high rises of downtown Punta. We had a beach view from the balcony of our spacious room in the front of the house and were able to walk across the street and have the whole beach to ourselves on several occasions. There is also a lovely little pool that gets great sun in the courtyard area of the hotel. On one occasion they even brought us a glass of blush wine to enjoy poolside. On that note, the staff was fantastic and the owners, Hugo and Alicia, were kind and gracious hosts. They were very sweet to our baby and even offered a crib for him to use in our room though we chose to use our own travel crib instead. Our room had plent of space and the white walls and linens made it feel very open and airy. We did have some unwelcome mosquitos visit us at night but we attributed that to the time of year and keeping the balcony door open during the daytime. It wouldn't keep us away in the future. Breakfast was lovely with toast and eggs on most days and the surprise of Hugo's recommended Italian sandwich one morning. Delicious!

Thank you, Hugo and Alicia, for sharing your home with us. We had such an enjoyable stay!

Hugo and Alicia, the owners and the crew did everithing to make us comfortable ( specially the lady that serves breakfast) , the hotel is really beautifull, and breakfast at the front lounge was one of the best we had. It was served until 12 :00 like a brunch, with fresh fruits, juice, and every day a different special, like omelets, grilled sandwiches and others..
The hotel is on the best location to be in Punta, best beach and nightlife. It's decorated beautifully, and just the way should be a beach hotel, for people that likes and goes to the beach. Our room was a two bedrooms suite with a terrace and side view to the beach across the street It really doesn't have a TV in the bedroom, but with such a beach after 11:00 when we wake up and clubs at night to dance and have fun 'till the morning, TV on the lobby is more than enough...
On my daughter's birthday they even surprised us with a bottle of champagne, it was really nice! We will be back for sure!
