When we arrived in Punta del Este we spent the first night in the San Rafael, the old hotel icon of Punta. But one night was more than enough as the best time have passed.
So I convinced my wife to look for a hotel in LaBarra which I like more. It was her first time in Uruguay and the Posta del Cangrejo and its team made a lot that she will come back.
The rooms are very clean and very nice decorated. There are some garden rooms but when we saw the ocean view rooms we decided to spent a little bit more for a spectecular view over the ocean. Luckily we had one of the 2 rooms with a terrace. Very nice for relaxing but be carful, you can get sunburned easliy.
In the evening we had a bottle of the fantastic local champagne. The waiters from the bar gave us a cooler for free. Everybody in the hotel is very helpful and friendly. A big thank you to the concierge who helped us when we had a flat tire. First they tried to help with the car rental comapny as our spanish is to bad. When nothing happened they changed the tire. A really unusual help from hotel staff. There is only a small minus for the breakfast, it is just a petit dejeuner like in France. But enough if you had a big lomo the evening before it's OK. Next time in Punta we'll defintely stay again in the Posta del Cangrejo.
