Visited Uruguay for 12 days. Solid experience. Scene is as described. Pricing fair.
Spent $73/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 9/10. Exceeded expectations.
AMA.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

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

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $67/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: avoid weekends.
