I spent about 2 weeks in PdE in the coldest time of year - as a result, some days were warm and nice but most were grey and cold. There were very few people around so I had a nice quiet time - so my girlfriend and I walked around the empty streets and beaches taking in all the nice sights.

Since I don't go out clubbing or tanning, I was satisfied with just spending time there. For anyone who likes beaches, girls and going out to clubs and stuff, this is definately somewhere to visit. Crime is apparently higher here than in Montevideo, pickpockets and all that, but I think if you are a bit careful you'd be fine. The sea is REALLY nice, as is the view of all those tall buildings. Dulce de Leche here is cheaper than in Montevideo, I noticed, which is good - but they have no Bimbo bread in Inglesa - so we had to settle for another milky-bread to have with Dulce de Leche.

Overall we spent very little time going around, but what there was was very nice. Apparently lots of richy celebs stay at the Conrad, which is some big hotel/casino place. Very big, very nice to look at and very richy. We went in and looked around - bigger than any hotel ive ever been in (though I dont really look at many).

The other reviewers probably spent more time there, as tourists, in summer months - which is what Punta del Este is really for. A place definately worth visiting, if you go to Uruguay
