El yaque is a small windsurfing village with between 10 and 20 mostly family run restaurants. We felt the best restaurant was the one off el yaque beach hotel. There is not a lot else to do in el yaque apart from windsurf, sunbathe, eat and drink which i found perfectly satisfactory for 2 weeks. In addition there are some windsurfing shops and an internet cafe where you can make international calls. Do not expect your mobile to work in Margarita. Out of 20 people in my windsurfing group my mobile was the only one that worked and that was only outgoing calls. Its was on a vodafone business tariff.
El yaque / Margarita is one of those places you need to experience to understand. Its not Idyllic by a long shot but it does have a charisma of its own. If you go to El yaque then you are there to windsurf . If you were not windsurfing it would be best to stay somewhere else on the island.
I have never been to caribbean before.
I found margarita very nice place. I got a taxis to sambil ( shopping mall ) and a market near porlamar ( the capital ). I also went on a trekking trip which was very interesting. Our windsurf club also organised a trip to another beach where we could surf.
As a people everyone there seems straightforward, nice and glad you are visiting their island.
