WHY MARGARITA ISLAND

Isla de Margarita is a hidden jewel in the Caribbean. Located between Trinidad in the east and Aruba in the west, this semi-arid 950km sq. island with relatively dry climate is ideal — not humid like Miami! The dryness means no mosquitos or flies as you enjoy the sea breeze sitting in the garden or by the pool enjoying the bright star-studded night sky!

• Large Caribbean island – you won’t feel claustrophobic.
• Has 400 years of Spanish settlement history and places to see.
• It is safe and people are friendly — I feel safer on the island than I do in Toronto! You won’t find any beggars, either. The island has a Latin beat and people are easygoing,  manana is a common expression!
• Medical care is very affordable, most costs are less than the OHIP Schedule.
• Best roads in any Caribbean island.
• Multiple, beautiful sandy beaches.
• Relatively dry climate — unlike Florida!
• This duty free island has excellent shopping!
• Due to its devalued currency it is affordable, in fact cheap! A dollar goes a long way –our gas is 4 cents a litre and you can get 36 bottles of beer for $12.
• Taxis are cheap, buses are even cheaper — it is under a dollar ride from the villa to Porlamar.  Buses are clean and very safe.

PORLAMAR – the city:

• Porlamar is a large city with beautiful malls and designer shops. Or you can shop for bargains at the local markets in the old town.
