Im from Europe, but living in Margarita since 1998 i can assure you that the island today, is not even the shadow it once was. For me its still the best place on earth for living, but knowing how it once was like 20+ years ago its really sad. Water Park ,Diverland, Big Hotels complexes like Laguna Mar and other, Shopping streets like Av. 4 de Mayo or Av. Santiago Marino,Central Porlamar boulevards etc, are now abandoned and looking like post-apocalyptic ghost towns.

You are right! Well spotted. I am trying to find where I got my statistics here because during my research that is what I kept seeing and now that I am searching for it, I cannot seem to find it again. How very strange! Thanks for spotting this, I need to be more vigilant with my research in future!!

I am happy I found your review. My wife and I were there in 1992 and had an amazing vacation. Then at some point we heard everything about the place fell apart and were told it was finished as a tourist destination. Looks like my information is out of date now. I will do more research and might consider going back. I remember the food there was fanatic.

I can only imagine how amazing it would have been back in 1992, but for sure I would say it is a place you can definitely enjoy a holiday there. In fact, I saw a number of open hotels. The food is still fantastic, the locals are still welcoming. I do hope you make another visit 😄 thanks for your comment

Thanks for the honest and good review, you should call it Isla de Margarita

Very strange.. The fuel was cheaper than water when I was living there back in 2007. From the UK I was working as a diving instructor and loved the island until I had a very bad experience with corrupt police and was held at gunpoint until I gave them money 😢 was a very scary experience and I left the island within days after. It's a shame as I had made some really good friends when I was there.

Good point, this will depend on individual to individual. I was staying at a friend's place, and the internet was very good, provided the power was working. I would presume hotels are pretty good too.

Sorry about the bad experience you had with that dog, perhaps giving some treats to gain his friendship?? Just thinking load. I had similar experience with a dog and I know it could be so annoying

Would you say it’s a good place to live long term for a expat?

I would say yes, as long as you have money already, I don't imagine finding a job there would be easy plus the salary would be bad in comparison to a North American or European salary. I would certainly consider it!

Danke für das Video, ich komme aus Venezuela, lebe aber in Berlin und möchte nach Margarita gehen. Ich hatte Angst, denn als ich das letzte Mal dort war, war alles sehr schlecht.

Hace cuánto estuviste ahí? Puedo decirles que la situación es mucho mejor ahora que antes. o al menos, esto es lo que me ha dicho mi amiga. Como turista la pasé increíble y me alegro de haber experimentado un lugar tan increíble. Por cierto, hay muchos venezolanos en Berlín? Es genial saber que has hecho una vida allí

Bugs crawling everywhere? Any flat / house available without that nuisance?😊

I'd say the island is pretty clean to be honest. I was staying at my friends place and her apartment was very clean, but I would imagine it is the same with the hotels too. The bugs are just a side effect of being somewhere so tropical, it is unavoidable to not see them when you are outside. I will say, they are absolutely massive 😂 so you won't miss them, that's for sure! I think you'll be fine, just make sure you have your bug spray at the ready! 😉

THANKS , I WILL BE THERE SOON.

The food options are amazing. Sea food is the most likely you will find and typical Venezuelan food such as arepas and empanadas, but you'll also find Italian food, turkish food, Mexican food and your usual fast food offerings. The supermarkets are also very good and can get a wide variety of products there too. Actually, in some cases I would say even better than what we get in Europe!
