Uruguay

Hotels

There are numerous first-class hotels in Montevideo and along Uruguay's coastal resorts, where rates are usually a little higher. It is essential to book during the summer and during carnival week in Montevideo. There are several lower-priced hotels in the city for more basic accommodation. The Ministry of Tourism has a hotel listing page on its website (see Contact Addresses).

Grading: A star rating system of 1 to 5 stars is used. Prices tend to be higher during the tourist season. There is a 23% value-added tax in Montevideo. At the beaches, many hotels offer only US-plan terms (full board).

Camping/Caravanning

Allowed at numerous designated sites throughout the country; elsewhere it is necessary to get police permission. Campsites are listed on the Ministry of Tourism's website (see Contact Addresses).

Youth Hostels

Uruguay is a member of the International Youth Hostel Federation and there are several youth hostels throughout the country offering cheap accommodation, run by Asociación de Alberguistas del Uruguay (see Accommodation Information below).
