“This is the best place to stay in Margarita”

I'm glad I followed the advice of some venezuelan folks and chose Casa Rita's over some corporate hotel chain, this hotel is at a 10 minute drive from the airport and it's located at what I think is the most safe, quiet and beautiful location of the Margarita Island, one block away from the beautif… Mais

I'm glad I followed the advice of some venezuelan folks and chose Casa Rita's over some corporate hotel chain, this hotel is at a 10 minute drive from the airport and it's located at what I think is the most safe, quiet and beautiful location of the Margarita Island, one block away from the beautiful sea and great local restaurants,bars and shops, the attention is great, the personnel is very friendly and all services are included (Cable, WiFi, Fridge, A/C) the view from my room was awesome, I consider this hotel my second home in Venezuela, I'm already planning my trip for next year, Did I mentioned the pool? I just loved it!!!

“Quiet, big rooms, all with balcony”

After travelling around for 4 weeks in Venezuela we were tired of all the posadas and we were looking for a nice habitation on Isla Margarita. We did not want to stay in Porlamar.

After travelling around for 4 weeks in Venezuela we were tired of all the posadas and we were looking for a nice habitation on Isla Margarita. We did not want to stay in Porlamar. We ended up in El Yaque, which is a surf paradise and offers quite a nice infrastructure. The hotels/posadas at the beach are quite busy and can be loud. So we found the Hotel "Casa Rita", which is about 200 meters up the hill, much more quiet. The hotel is very well maintained compared to other locations, we have seen. The offer a nice breakfast. The rooms are big and very clean. The all have a big balcony, A/C and fan. We stayed there for 10 days and used it as a base to visit the different beaches on the island. There are also a couple of "long term" guests ( surf teachers, kite teachers ) in the hotel.

“Good but not the best option in El Yaque”

We decided to stay at Casa Rita for different reasons. One of them the #1 rating it has at Tripadvisor. Yet, when we got there we were not satisfied with a lot of details.

We decided to stay at Casa Rita for different reasons. One of them the #1 rating it has at Tripadvisor. Yet, when we got there we were not satisfied with a lot of details. The apartment was very dusty. The sheets didn't seem to be clean. The pillows smelled like someone else (other than us) slept on them. Fitted sheets didn't match flat sheets. The person at the reception upon our arrival was new and helpless. And, last but not least the cable stop working the last two days of our stay. We looked for another hotel to move, but everything was pretty much booked. While checking out other places I did realized that Casa Rita is not the best option in El Yaque. Places I would recommend are: - Hotel Atti, which, for the most part, had professional staff, an excellent chef (great food for a great price), and nice facilities as well. Note that they have a great happy hour from 5-7pm on weekdays. - Hotel Casa Viento: it's a real beautiful place. We didn't try the restaurant, but the staff on the ground was really professional and helpful. Also, they have someone in the States to answer questions and writes back really fast. - Hotel Windsurfers Oasis. Located on main street. This one is very nice too. The staff was very nice and professional and the facilities are beautiful, plus you are right on the beach. All of the hotels above have a pool and are very well kept. Note that although all the hotels were full the main street wasn't so busy or annoying during week nights. We are a family with small children and we find the atmosphere pleasant and not noisy or crazy as some people found druing January. I wouln't go on local holidays to any beach spot in Venezuela though. It's bound to be wild and crazy during local holidays. Unless that's what you are looking for. To the merit of Casa Rita, the breakfast were delicious and they provide you with a gamut of Venezuelan breakfast choices. And, I know what I am talking about as I am Venezuelan. It's a very harty breakfast! The other staff members at the hotel were professional and nice for the most part and the manager, Maria, was really great. She accomodated all our family needs. So, in this regard we had a very good time, but I am afraid Casa Rita is not close to being the best option in town.
