Booking Tips

Get the best deals and avoid common mistakes.

💡

Book 2-3 months ahead for Punta del Este in January-February high season — quality accommodation sells out completely and prices triple.

💡

Midweek stays at beach resorts (Mon-Thu) are significantly cheaper than weekend rates year-round.

💡

Consider Montevideo as a base for day trips to Colonia and Punta del Este — accommodation is better value than staying in Punta del Este outside January-February.

💡

Many hotels offer the legal tourist VAT discount on card payments — ask about 'precio turístico' when checking in.

💡

Booking.com and direct hotel websites generally offer the best prices; Airbnb is also strong in Montevideo and coastal areas.

💡

Colonia del Sacramento boutique posadas book up quickly for Saturday nights — book well in advance for weekend visits.
