Hotel Fasano Punta del Este
Hotel Fasano is located outside Punta Del Este in a somewhat remote location. It is pricey, but absolutely out-of-this-world beautiful! Staff, service and accommodations were impeccable. David, the manager, is hands-on, very responsive, and on top of everything. We will be back!

Mundaka Hostel y Bar - Adults Only
The bathroom needs updating, its old and often runs out of hot water! The bedrooms are very basic, no wardrobe or locker. Also, be aware that the hostel is NOT in punta del este, its in la barra.

Posada de los Pajaros
Wow. If this place is available you should book it. It's a nice walk to La Barra but close to Bikini beach . Christian is just a great host. Breakfast buffet is as good as any other hotel .
