MANAGEMENT: The hotel is run by a family that uses the hotel as their own house, with no respect for the guests. They use the nice swimming pool as a family gathering place, shouting from one side to the other. Also the staff prioratizes the owners on top of the guests. ROOM: The room was antiquated, the queen bed was... More

La Posta del Congrejo is not the fanciest hotel in Punta, actually it’s in La Barra, but it’s one of the best located. Sitting just above the beach in La Barra, the hotel is perfectly situated. The hotel is a little worn around the edges, but nice; I felt it had a kind of shabby chic quality to it. The... More

In the last 20 years I have stayed in La Posta many times and it is my go to choice for a great vacation(or two ) virtually every year. Yes there are now a small handful of chic hotels and a couple of luxury hotels which over the years I have sampled but like a great many people I keep... More

Starting off with the positives, the hotel has a great location near a beach in La Barra, and a nice-looking territory. I should have gotten the hint when I was making the reservation. Almost none of the staff speaks English, and simply making a reservation required a very complicated series of emails and international phone calls that lasted more than... More

We stayed at La Posta in early March, 2009. Overall we were very pleased with out stay. It is a great location in La Barra . It is right on the beach and close to shops and restaurants. We were very happy we did not stay in Punta del Este (a mini Miami Beach). La Barra has charm and is... More

Not a whole lot of frills here, but you're steps away from shops, restaurants, a beach and surfspot; so what do you need? Pretty friendly staff, didn't really challenge them with anything but they seemed nice enough. Love the location.

The hotel is in La Barra. Only 10ks or so from Punta but in a different world. La Posta is low rise, with interesting architecture and a few yards from the sea. We'd just hit low season when the room cost $120. In high season it's US$360. Sea views, friendly staff, good food - when the restaurant was open. But... More

Really wanted to like this hotel, b/c it is a great location and has good 'bones' but needs some updating...others have hit the highlights...great location...view of the beach...nice pool...great chocolate croissants for breakfast...front desk staff was very helpful...it is a beach hotel and so had a musty smell which is not uncommon, but it also seemed like there was mold...

I stayed at La Posta for 4 days in March 2007. This is a curious hotel. Its major attribute is its location overlooking the beach and ocean, ideal for leisurely walks or watching the surfers. The restaurant is very good and the staff easy going and friendly. Internet access is possible. However, while the hotel may have been a luxurious... More
