Costa del Este,Argentina, Questions??
 
We have a timeshare opportunity in Costa del Este, has anyone been in this area in July? Any information would be helpful. Thanks!

Are you sure the name is Costa del Este, never heard of...

Graziella,

My friend Mr. Google seems to know all about it.. Looks like its about 330 k from the city Bs AS. in the Province of Buenos Aires.

Sorry, is it Costa del Este in Paraguay or Punta del Este in Uruguay Republic???? In Argentina Costa del ESte is a small beach in Buenos Aires province. Be sure of your destination!!!

Hi Nokomis,
July in Argentina is winter so please keep that in mind. It will be cold.

So why are you all assuming Nokomis has the wrong name?? Maybe that is exactly what she means. Naveira - I think it is Ciudad del Este Paraguay. (there is Costa del Este Panama.) If you google Costa del Este Argentina, it you will see there ARE several time share complexes in the Argentina one.

John K is right . July is winter in Argentina so won't really be beach weather at al. Furthermore, in general Argentina is not known for its beaches in the first place and Naveira does say it is a small beach - so I assume not even one of the better ones.

So lets say - if you are coming all the way to Argentina, there will be alot of more interesting places for you to spend your time.

Good luck
raquel

Well, I read what your friend Google had to say, and I say: I would not like to spend anytime in any
timeshare or five star hotel for that matter in July in Costa del Este., should I be a tourist visiting Argentina.
At least some three hours of hectic driving from BUenos Aires, to be in a small, unknown, nothing special beach in the middle of winter?
Sorry, in my book does not sound as a good option.
Nokomis you did the right thing asking about this place, sorry the answer has to be negative.
July is cold and windy, beaches in
general in that area are not a good idea for a foreign tourist.
