Hotel Video Tours: La Posta del Cangrejo

Where: Km 11300, La Barra, Uruguay

The only hitch we encountered on our recent romp through Uruguay was a lack of English-language info on the country. Now, that's sorta our fault; if we knew more Spanish, there wouldn't have been an issue.

Luckily, friend-of-HotelChatter Matt Gross had visited Punta del Este before us and scouted out the hotel scene. His verdict? Avoid it. You're better off staying in La Barra, just outside the madness of downtown Punta.

He stayed at La Posta del Cangrejo, a sprawling hotel whose (only?) claim to fame is a visit by George Bush, Sr. years ago. Easy to see that, too: The place definitely appeals to the old white guy demographic.
