Cubicle Dreamin': Punta del Este
Cubicle Dreamin' is a feature in which we ask the hotel mavens to take some time out of their busy work day, surf the Internet, and tell us what hotel they wish they could beam themselves to right that very second--all on the slave driving companies dime, of course. Oh, like these people aren't surfing aimlessly anyway--at least now their purposeless clicking will be cobbled together into useful hotel stories--we hope. Have a destination hotel you are just dying to leave your cube for? Send the story our way.
In this episode, Hotel Maven PBB heads for Uruguay. Enjoy.
Depending on who you ask, Punta del Este is either totally hot or totally going to be over in six months. I don't really care--it's not snowing there right now. And if I won't be able to see flurries out my hotel window, I'll be happy.
La Posta del Cangrejo was Frugal Traveler Matt Gross's pick when he stayed on Uruguay's hottest peninsula, and it looks like a great spot for me too. The rates, for an ocean view room, are starting at $100 right now: Much less than you'd expect to pay at some Caribbean budget-killer. Despite the price, sounds like you don't get low-budget flaws.
The location is outstanding, those staying at Mantra were quite jealous indeed. Had an oceanview room which I thought was relatively small for American standards (compared to like a resort in Miami) but in line w/ what you consider a nice size room in Europe. Bathroom can use some updates, again reminded me of Europe a lot. The pool is lovely and has a great view, we used to lounge there for a few hours after breakfast.
Oooo... I'm already envisioning the flurries vanishing.
