TDY Gouge - Uruguay

Maldonado, Uruguay - Conrad Resort and Casino in Punta del Este, phone: (598 42) 47 22 15 / (598 42) 49 13 61. This hotel was a palace! Maldonado, Uruguay (SULS) has a 6998' foot runway, and requires Jeppesen approaches to get in there. Once in there the terminal is brand new, and has most of the amenities expected in a US national terminal. For overnights, the place to stay is the resort town of Punta del Este... anout 20-25 minutes east of the airfield. It's a poular resort town for folks in Argentina and Uruguay. The Conrad Resort and Casino is the place to stay, with a round-the-clock casino (including tables) and amazing cocktail waitresses. The breakfast buffet goes until 1130 am, is free for guests, and is excellent. The views are fantastic (both people and scenery), and although costs for things are more here than in the capitol of Montevideo, the per diem jumps accordingly. We missed the Miss Universe contest by three days.... :( website for hotel is www.conrad.com.uy. Did I mention some of the most beautiful women ever?Montevideo, Uruguay - Sheraton was a nice resort. Uruguay is very European and lacks the typical flavor of a South American country. The Sheraton is the place to stay in Montevideo. Rooms are nice, the wine is super cheap, and breakfast is included. The hotel is connected to a mall providing plenty of good shopping and food. For a really good meal, try the "Purple House" restaurant. The food is excellent, and the waitresses are some of the hottest girls in the country.
