Questions about Montevideo/Punta del Este

Have done a search and found some things, but need more help and information.

I'm considering traveling for a week to Punta del Este in early August. Yes, I know it's winter, but it will be insanely hot in Indiana in August and I'm really looking forward to the break from the humidity and heat that time of year, and I wanna see the sea lions.

I'm curious about a few things-

a) is it safe for a single female traveler to go to Punta del Este and Montevideo?

b) I'm considering the timeshare exchange through Interval International- staying at Rincon del Este- anyone have any experience with this property and can give me a review or tell me about the quality of the location and the view from it?

c) how cold is cold? that is, will it be warm enough to walk on the beach wearing a coat?

d) will I be okay if I don't speak much Spanish?

Thanks!
GG
