What travellers are saying
- DrCDBChile1,403 contributionsNice beach for a nice and long walk. The sand is very smooth and in general very clean. The water can get a bit cold but not bad for a walk without shoes in the beach.Written 28 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Craig WBellevue, WA12 contributionsGreat views and has many options for restaurants, the highlight were the seals, and the views and very walkable. They have the top restaurants and you can buy fresh fish at the docks.Written 17 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Joel MLos Angeles, CA37 contributionsIn the middle of nowhere lies this spectacular modern art museum with stunning grounds, sculptures and architecture. Definitely worthy of the drive.Written 1 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- SoxAHolics123913 contributions2024 UPDATE: It takes 2.5 hours to go on the bus from Montevideo to Punta Del Este. If you want to do this boat experience -- tell your spouse -- and get to Tres Cruces by 815/830, and get on a bus no later than 845. It is a 15 minute walk from the bus station to the kiosk selling this tour. There is one closer and a second further north on the port. Both leave, daily, at 12 pm. There is only one tour a day. REPEAT, there is only one tour a day for the two little companies that do this. They both leave at 12 pm. And both cost $50 USD per personWritten 27 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- DrCDBChile1,403 contributionsNice to see it and walk around it in the afternoon when the sun generates a nice shadow over the sand. Nice for a quick stop when walking around the beach.Written 5 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DrCDBChile1,403 contributionsThis museum is a hidden gem in Punta del Este. It beautiful and extremely well maintained. It has several great artist like Dali and Botero. It was not overcrowded and it was not overwhelming as the amount of paints and sculptures are just enough to enjoying them without feeling that your senses are overexcited. Staff is extremely friendly too. A must when in Punta del Este.Written 22 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Filo53 contributionsAs it happened, I was given an surprisingly detailed tour by a friend who knew the arboretum very well.
There are an amazingly broad range of trees that are non-native, but have flourished there.Written 21 October 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The entrance fee is $8 USD and the food at the restaurant is rather expensive. Most everything on the menu is $10+ USD, but the experience and the view is well worth it.Written 13 March 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- KarenM1_10Bloomfield Hills, Michigan1,042 contributionsWe stopped here while walking in the area. The façade of the church is a lovely shade of blue. The inside of the church is rather plain but very well maintained. Nothing like the Cathedrals and Basilicas we visited in other ports. The church is adjacent to the lighthouse.Written 26 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
