The Sisai is the first Hotel on the Boulevard Gourmet, which is the local name for this street, because there are 9 very good restos here, some of them in hotels, like the Sisai. It is a boutique hotel whose greatest feature is the very large back garden with long pool, plenty of comfy lounge chairs with cushions, and wonderfully sculpted garden which provides both sunny and shady sections, and the kind of seclusion which makes spending the day there a relief. The inhouse restaurant serves a very good prix-fix lunch, 3 courses, about $18, and will serve you at the pool. The rooms are very spacious, compared to other boutiques. The spa is minimal, just a large jacuzzi pool, and warm&misty sitting area, and a massage room. I rate the Sisai, overall, as a very good, not great, boutique hotel in Punta del Este. Good value for the price. You can walk to the Punta Shopping Center in 10 minutes, which is another good feature (original language cinema is the top feature). To walk to the beach, i recommend the Playa Brava, a 15 minute walk.
