Hostels and cheap hotels in Margarita Island

Giant pearls once lured adventurers to Margarita Island. Today, the pearls are mostly gone, and it's the dazzling sunsets, duty-free shops and powdery beaches that bring in the crowds. This Caribbean isle (25 mi/38 km off the northeast coast of Venezuela) is a mecca for fun seekers from mainland Venezuela and - more recently - from other parts of the world as well. Some cruise ships, most on southern Caribbean voyages, also call at the island, which is officially called Isla de Margarita. Hostels in Margarita Island
