Our stay at the resort was absolutely phenomenal! The property is stunning and feels perfectly secluded, making it an ideal spot for a quiet getaway. The rooms are spacious and beautifully designed, but the beach isn't very appealing. The pool area is fantastic, and meals were generally enjoyable, though options at the pool bar could use some improvement. Overall, it's excellent value for a luxury experience in Uruguay.

I had a fantastic stay at this resort! The property is stunning, featuring beautiful landscaping, a large pool, and outdoor activities like yoga classes.

Carmelo Resort & Spa is a beautiful retreat nestled in a serene woodland setting, perfect for relaxation. The rooms are spacious and well-designed, though they can feel a bit dark due to the wood decor. The staff is attentive and the dining options show a lot of potential, but there were inconsistencies in the food quality and limited breakfast selection.
