Where to stay in Punta del Este:
Before deciding on which hotel to stay you need to decide what area best fits your needs. There are two main places where most tourists stay: the Peninsula and La Barra. The peninsula is the most popular place for hosting because besides having great tourist infrastructure you can go to many places on foot. La Barra is known for its hip atmosphere, where young people like to enjoy the beaches during the day, and bars at night. This is a place with saltwater beaches and strong waves, full of art studios, and it is where the nightlife is a plus point and the raw infrastructure completes the relaxed atmosphere. Its streets are not always paved and the hustle focuses on Route 10, the main "street" of the resort.
