ACCOMMODATIONS
There are quite a few medium and large "all-inclusive" style hotels that fly charter plane loads of tourists in each week however you will not find them listed here. We acknowledge that they exist however they have had a definite negative effect on the small businesses that have always made up the ambience of Playa El Agua. If you are interested in this type of hotel then we suggest that you return to your search engine and try some other sites.

There are two places located close to the beach that we can recommend.
|
|
One is Casa Trudel Bed and Breakfast located in a private 2 story villa about 200 yards from the main entrance to the beach. This property has been run by a Canadian, Dan O'Brien, who came to Margarita from Toronto in 1987 and has been operating his B&B since 1989. Prices are very reasonable starting at US$36 single and US$40 double and include a modified continental breakfast, A/C, pool, fridge, Internet & DirecTV. Visit his site for much more information including a great FAQ page that has answers to many common questions about the Island and getting here. He has even included a page about living or working on Margarita Island for those of you contemplating such a move or planning an extended stay.

In 1995 he also took over a
property on Calle Miragua, about a half block from the beach, which has five 2
bedroom houses for rent. These houses, each about 105 mē (1150 sq. ft.), are
located on a large property (3000 mē) and come with DirecTV, fully equipped kitchens,
one bathroom and a large patio facing out into the tropical garden.
The property is called Trudel's
Garden Vacation Homes and they are suitable for singles, couples,
families and groups. Prices vary according to season however even in high season
they range from US$54 to US$65 per house per night with discounts for long stays
and out of season.
