Visited Uruguay for 7 days. Great experience. Scene is improved. Pricing fair.
Spent $55/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 9/10. Solid destination.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.
