We've stayed there for one week and it was one week too long.
It is the most unplesant stay we've ever had!
After 3 days we've just wanted to go home.
The hotel itself is ok - moist rooms with huge cacrotches are not too sexy though.
Food was ok, but not much choice.
There is not much outside the hotel, beside the Hilton Casino.
Beach is by Hilton hotel and it's kinda trashy and grassy - didn't swimm at all that week.
The most unplesant part of stay not only at the hotel but on Isla Margarita all together is the way staff and locals just about anywhere treat you!
Disaster! You feel so unwanted and ignored wherever you go that it's just shocking!
I'll never go back to Isla Margarita even if someone will pay me.
So be prepared that your request about anything needing to be fixed in the room will be ignored. You will also be ignorred at restaurants untill you get up and catch the waiter yourself. And in the end when they bring you food you've scarred to touch it cause there is this little thing you can sense ... that there might be something wrong with it (maybe they've spit in the food?).
Night out at the Casino ended up to be a slot night, as we've been so much ignorred at any table, that didn't even get to play!
The best day was when we've rented a car and drived on our own the whole island round, almost without any contact with locals.
All in all - better save your money for some other destination then go to Isla Margarita. If you've already planned to go there, please choose the north coast - it's much more "friendly".
