Mercado del Puerto, Montevideo

Advantages: few
Disadvantages: some

...Montevideo is the capital city of Uruguay and gives hospitality to more or less the 50% of the inhabitants of the whole Uruguay. Montevideo is a modern city that includes also the historic zone of the old city. All around the city there are many beaches with their white sands. The old city, called "CIUDAD VIEJA", is scattered with buildings dated 18th century and includes also the market called "MERCADO DEL PUERTO". "AVENIDA 18 DE JULIO" (18 July Avenue) is the right place to find shops, museums, theatres and art galleries. In 1799 the Royal Crown of Spain ordered the construction of a lighthouse able to illuminate the waters of Rio della Plata and to guide the sailors that plough through this river.

...Punta del Este is the holiday resort more exclusive of the whole South America. Businessmen from Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela as well United States of America select Punta del Este as location for their holidays house. Here come also singers, sport stars, actor and actress.

Advantages: Cerca de la playa
Disadvantages: Caro el buffet

...Es un hotel con una amabilidad infinita. Desde la recepcion hasta los botones. Excepcional situacion y vistas desde las terrazas (a un lado el mar, al otro las montañas de selva tropical). Practicamente en primera linea de playa, en el paseo maritimo, en la zona mas "chic". Quiza lo mas dificil es encontrar un sitio para desayunar (el buffet no lo probamos porque es bastante caro, al igual que la comida y la cena), pero para ir de compras esta muy bien: cerca el mercado de honolulu, con de todo lo que quieras comprar. Cerca tambien del zoo, de la mejor zona de playa de waikiki y de buenos restaurantes (recomiendo el cheesecake factory para cenar). Me agrado especialmente lo que ellos llaman la hospitality room: una habitacion que te dejan una hora si has facturado a las 12 de la mañana pero no sale tu avion hasta por la tarde.... Read review
