The Small East Hotel

Dec 15 2010
Filed In: Punta del Este, Uruguay

The Small East Hotel • ( Punta del Este, Uruguay ) A brand new option in Punta del Este just opened its doors this week. A brand new boutique affordable option at this chic and classic destination in Uruguay. Across the street by Lighthouse and by the Sea, the privilege of being away from the noise and close to everything, is how they promote themselves and differentiate from others.

Dionisio the Argentinean fashion model that left the runways to become the ultimate ICON in adult entertainment in the US. And beyond, is the only model and performer working simultaneously in international fashion and the latest up up growing businesses around the world. And he is ready to hit again.

Serena Hotel • Punta del Este, Uruguay

May 27 2010
Filed In: Been There Done That, Carlos Melia, Hotels, Punta del Este, Uruguay

Serena Hotel • My top choice for Punta del Este. Small boutique hotel, that allows you to enjoy the best of Punta del Este, while still being away and isolated from the huzzle and buzzle. Design, personalized service, comfort and glamour. Other than the rooms, which are very comfortable and modern, I have most enjoyed and been surprised the Outdoor Pool and Beach area, which could be easily compared to Ibiza or Saint Tropez. The highlight is the Black Mirror Pool with the Buddha image sitting at the tip surrounded by the Cabanas. Believe me you will love this hotel.
