I just got back from Dunes resort on Margarita Island where I celebrated my anniversary. I feel obligated to warn fellow travellers about this place! The resort itself is beautiful but you can tell its run down. I must say one of the highlights of my trip was the premium rooms because of internet. Dunes staff was not polite at... More

I had the best 1 week vacation of my life here, using the dunes as a home base. I travelled alone here, but met many cool people. my first room was not nice, but I was able to upgrade to the new section for only 580bs! (about $25 using the blackmarket exchange rate.) compare this to $200 to upgrade with... More

Just got back from spending three days at this isolated Venezuelan Beach Resort. Since I was just kicking back and relaxing I didn't really mind that we were very isolated and around 10 kiometers from a major center. The highlight of the resort is the beach. It is a world class beach of close to 5 kilometers of lenght nestled... More

Most meals were eaten at the restaurant in the Premier section. They were ok. The buffet was different most days.The fresh fruit... More

Our favourite saying became "maybe tomorrow" and we settled into the laid back atmosphere at the resort. Language didn't seem to be a barrier. The staff all tried there best. The small pool in the premium section became one of our favourite... More

Hola Travellers! Margarita Island is Paradise, and The Dunes hotel... well, it's like a shack in paradise. Ya get it? Don't count on your shower water being hot, or cold, or clear or on for that matter... but you don't know the benefits of being 10 degrees closer to the equator!! Can't whistle... you'll be pro by the time you... More

Beware people get robbed in the hotel. Don't wear any nice clothing or jewelery. Everyone sizes you up for you net worth. 3 people were robbed that I know of when I weas there. It seems not to be a priority. After hearing first hand I inquired about the security issues with the reception and head of security. They told... More

We visited here in March 2009 I booked this hotel as it was the best in the First Choice brochure and on the Island. After reading the reviews after I booked it back in April, I wasn't too worried as they were all okay, but from December 2009 onwards the reviews went drastically down hill. The worry then set in,...
