Flamenco Hotel Villas & Beach Club Playa el Agua

... br><br>In a place called Valle del Espiritu Santo the Virgin of the Valley resides. What is unusual with this Virgin are the gifts that are made to her for blessings on health, wealth and success. A museum is now dedicated to the numerous gifts that are donated in &#8216;thanks&#8217; for having wishes granted. There are numerous paintings, items of church robes all beautifully decorated and hand-stitched, boats, military regalia and jewellery including ...

... I saw all those towels laid out on the sunbeds in the morning&#8230;<br> <br> The hotel I am staying in here is right by the beach and is called &#8220;Hotel Miramar Village&#8221;. Despite the fact that from the name it sounds like somewhere you might find in Benidorm, it is actually very nice. There are lots of hotels up the same road getting progressively further from the beach, but I thought it was worth the extra £1 per night to stay here ...

... albeit an experience. We bought the pemier substandard tickets (I do not know either!) although not taking full advantage of the "Pemier" style up the stairs behind the Canteen on the lower decks!!! (see why we were fooled) Look at the pic. It was not too bad but daunting nonetheless. As for Margarita I did not stay long, wanting to get to Salto Angel ...

... Em um hotel com bebidas liberadas imaginem o que seria o primeiro dia! Uma bebedeira! Muitas tequilas no bar do Roberto no centro da piscina do hotel! Quase todos voltaram garotos para o quarto! Com exceção da Mari que deixaria a surpresa pra mais a frente na viagem. Todos os dias neste hotel foi assim. Piscina e bebidas pela manhã e jantares com bebidas pela noite. Tem um restaurante mexicano neste hotel que ...

... Aldaar 1,5 gewacht waarna we alsnog naar Porlamar konden vliegen. Ik had inmiddels uitgerekend dat het 1u locale tijd zou zijn bij aankomst (ipv 17:00)... Op zich geen probleem ware het niet dat ik nog geen slaapplaats had... godver!! Al mijn medepassagiers hadden een vooraf geboekte vakantie en werden bij aankomst dan ook keurig opgehaald. Sta je dan... 1u ´s nachts op een vliegveld in een land waar je de taal niet spreekt... godver!! Reste mij niets anders dan een taxi ...

... most of the capitals: big, populated, noisy, polluted  and dangerous. I didn't really like it so much, there's not a lot of things to see or visit. We made an attempt in going up the Avila mount, but we got caught in a huge storm, so the teleferico stopped and we waited more than 2 hours... to eventually give up! Some parts of the city are quite nice though... we went to las Mercedes on the 23rd at night, which is almost ...

... on time, is just visable on the horizon as it takes just 2 hours to make the trip to the island. Our trusty rust bucket takes 5. We decide to chill out and enjoy the trip. Apparently this is what travelling is all about!! My patience is getting slightly better. Ems goes on a mission to find sustance... returning with some much needed water, I am sweating myself thinner !! ISLA MARGARITA: Two ferries arrive at the same time and we walk half a mile to the land again sharing ...

... English and enjoyed drinking Scotch whisky. Hopefully, he hasn't had a drink today. We then set off to Parque Nacional La Restinga which is about 23 miles away. Unfortunately, on the way we drove through a Tropical Storm where the roads turned into rivers. Thankfully, we were high up in this 4x4 and didn't get our feet wet. Although, rain did come through the roof, but never mind we are in Venezuela. As we arrived, the car park looked like a lake. So Jose drove us to a ...

... friendly people, told me about all the things I could to in the area, invited me to whole bunch of beer throughout the whole journey and then they just happened to be headed to the same town as me - Juangriego - so they invited me to drive with them, as they had a car, saving me some 30-40.000 bolivares for the taxi there. But that wasn't even all - they invited me even to dinner as well! What gentlemen! Then they also offered to share a hotel ...

... North West Coast, renown for its amazing sunsets. As we waited for the sun to set on a hill overlooking a 5 star hotel resort, complete with golf course, pools, tennis courts and its own private beach, we began to make our plans to come back one day and stay there. As the sun finally set you couldn't help but be astounded by the beauty and majesticness of it all and it certainly convinced us both that in years to come (hopefully when we have some money) that this is the hotel to stay at.
