Our flight was late so we missed dinner but we were directed to the snack bar even before we checked in. we went to the iguana where we had something to eat and some pina colada.
The room was not extravagant but had all that we needed. The ac and tv worked great, we had hot water and a phone. The bed had a concrete base and so did some of the other furniture but i guess because there are pools and the sea in this resort its the best thing.
There were two large dining rooms where we had all our meals. the staff there were very helpfull and polite. There was a great variety of things to eat so we always found things we liked.
This hotel is very from the airport and also from the shopping, but the people working with our travel agents had shopping trips.
This hotel was almost filled with venezuelans,there were just a few Trinis.
We had little problem with the language, we were always able to make them understand. I commend the staff they were helpfull.
The one problem we had was the power cuts, in the 5dys we spent it went 4tiimes. the generator would kick in but only the lights would come on. The outage wasnt for long but the first time it was night and we panicked. we got used to it but i would suggest you pack a flashlight.I found out that this problem originated in venezuela and all the hotels in margarita is affected.
My opinion is that for the money we paid, we had a great holiday.

Our stay was from July 31st - August 4th and it was great. This hotel has activities for all ages. Would surely return anytime.

This was a cheap trip, worth the money. However, if you don't speak spanish you'll have problems. Got a room where the door lock was not working, was switched to another room where the a/c was not working. Also, at 8.30am every morning the maid knocks on the door, when you open the door she just gestures ok and go her way - what was the purpose of this, i just don't know. The nightly shows was enjoyable. The food: No variety, everything seem to be sprinkled with bacon, if you're a vegetarian - sorry but you will have some problems. The snack bar: same thing almost every day (hot dog or beef and bread).

My first trip to the island. The hotel grounds are well manicured and general surroundings, clean. The staff were friendly, but spoke spanish with little english or none at all. Other guests translated for me and there seem to be on front desk male worker who knew english well, but you don't see him everyday!!

The room was clean, bed sheets clean etc, but you got a sewer smell fom the faucets, the sink leaked at bit and water pooled at the bathroom floor, next to the toilet. Electricity failed on two occasions, and went for about 2 hours, on the first, so we stayed outside the pool area until it came back.

The bed bottom is concrete for two of the beds, the third is smaller but on a wooden base. The shelves are concrete, the dresser counter concrete, etc, no wooden furniture or pieces basically. The room was cleaned everyday and fresh sheets given, though not a brilliant white, but clean. The ac worked, but the room was quite cold, and the floor was always wet, probably from condensation, why I can't say.

The food at Crocodillo was great, except the meals were often repitious, meaty (though I love food and meat), the salad most times had cheese or meat kind, not really great for the health conscious. If you were vegetarian, WOW you may not survive past day one. They don't seem to cater for you, although to me maybe one may have to make special request everyday???!!!!! Don't know!!!

There were dogs around saw three, but they did not bite. They were clean, but for an all inclusive............... hmmnnn.... Did not bathe in pools, for it's not something I do. Can't tell you much but the water sure looked inviting and clean from a bird's eye view, lol. There was a nice rocky area on the beach side, for the adventurous. Loved the snack bars!!

Not into the night life, so I can't say!! The hotel is too far from the town and flea market!! Loved the shopping, though our tour guide gave us 7 bs to 1 usd, in the town n flea market you got 8 bs, a lil more to shop. Town seems cheaper depending on what you are buying, and vice versa.

I noticed most visitors, were causcian and spanish, our african and mixed group, were easy to spot and the beach instuctors hailed us out every time they saw us.

At the airport, got into a lil trouble. My daughter is 2 years n some months, under 2 years is free (tax), 2 to 3 years pay 182.40 bs. The lady at the counter insisted my daughter pay the extra 152 bs(totalling 335 bs), told her no that is not correct, according to their rules. She insisted, by that time of course we had not that extra 152 but just about 50 bs remaining. She made me had to ask other group members for extra bs, quite to my dismay. Do you know, lo and behold her collegue came hurrying in for she was late, for work and that lady referred me to her. Do you know when she was giving all my info, the late worker told her that 182.40 bs was all my daughter had to pay for she was not three, neither was she 2 and under , for the free tax? Isn't that the same thing I told the lady??????????????


Then she now wanted to apologise to me, both in spanish n english, smh but I took her apology, any way. Folks what would have happened if the other worker never came??? I would have had to pay that extra money. God was on my side and prevented her from that unscrupulous behaviour, she should have known better, my child has a passport with her age, and they have their rules and regulations, whether in spanish or not!! She must follow it. Could you imagine how many persons with children, get robbed for taxes??????????

Be vigilant please and enjoy the shopping!! My family and I did!
