How is Margarita Island in Venezuela?

Question

I am planning on going there. Have you ever been there?

Answer 1

Yup, Christy is definitely right, Margarita is all that, not just beaches and sun, but actual history. Enjoy your trip.

Answer 2

Well, It's very pretty there. It can get rather crowded. Sometimes, depending on the hotel you are staying at, there are many people out on the beach or near the poor getting drunk and being very loud and obnoxious. So be aware of that.

Answer 3

Margarita Island is my hometown, and even though I currently live here in the U.S. I can HONESTLY tell you that there is more to the Island than the beaches. There are sooooo many things you can do over there, and I am gonna tell you about them briefly. There are the Castles, Castillo de Santa Rosa, Castillo de la Asuncion, Castillo de Pampatar, and many more,and Give me a break...Nicole is wrong in saying that there are only people getting drunk on the beach and being loud and obnoxious, and Margarita has WAY more to offer than beaches, as Carlos claimed. There is the National Park, in La Asuncion, which has some AMAZING views of the island. There is a small entertaining park called Musipan which is next to playa El Yaque, and that beach is notorious for its windsurfing, and shallow waters. There is also the shopping center called Sambil, there is the Ave, 4 de Mayo, where if you can find the main breakfast/lounge area, called Panaderia 4 de Mayo, you can find some AWESOME coffee and warm bread. I recommend you try the Chicha, its a kind of rice milk, very good. You can go to Playa Concorde, and buy a round, 1 day trip to Coche Island, rent a 4 wheeler and go around the island. You can also walk around Porlamar, and do some window shopping, or also buy little souvenirs. You can go to Juan Griego, and find little kids that rap you the story of that town (VERY FUNNY). There is also Playa Parguito, you can go to the top of the hill (there is one on each direccion, and its easy to get to the top) and take some nice pictures of the ocean, or just go to one of the restaurants, and enjoy a plate of giant shrimp with a $.50 Polar beer. As for nightlife, there are many clubs you can go to, There is Sr. Frogs which is near the Hilton Hotel, and there is La terraza which is in Los Robles. I really hope you can put this information to use, as you will enjoy the many things Margarita Island has to offer to you. Good Luck!!!! And Enjoy your trip. P.S. Do not take the buses, rent a car, or take a taxi.

Answer 4

if you live in Venezuela, then it's good because it's something diffrent

but if you're going for the first time as a tourist....you're better off going to Aruba, Curacao, Bonaire, or Los Roques (an archipielago which is worth going to)

the thing with Margarita is that it's very crowded during the holidays, and it doesn't really have anything special orhter than the beaches everyone always goes to (good for surfing though)

I've never been during low season, so it may be diffrent for you
