"I had to check out of my hostel in Margarita about midday, and my check in was about 6pm - to fly about 11.pm. After a few boiling hours on the beach, i figured Id head to the airport and spend the rest of my bolivars and take a shower. I realised there wasn't a shower and spent ages trying to check my bags in. Eventually, I was ready to snuggle down and have a nap ( extremely late drunken night the evening before, feeling rather weak and emotionally highly strung) Its only a small airport and there was only our flight back to the UK going from there. there were heaps of english package tourists complaining which was both the high and low lights of the hours spent there. they were complaining about the venezuelan people, complaining that its like being in bandit-land etc. grr. weird,Id had the best holiday ever in venezuela!So then everybody proceeded to get well drunk. I was trying to kip- but to no avail. loads of English whiners complaining about everything; what a shit holiday they'd had. etc. some men started fighting. Sleep was elusive indeed.The food in the cafeteria was diabolical. I have never smelt hot dogs like those in all my days. On the plus side I got a bottle of gordons gin for 5, a bottle of coffee rum for 4 in the duty free. . I bought a coke for a handful of shrapnel out of my pocket and they let me off the rest as I ran out of cash. The coffee was excellent, and practically free. Right at the end , after a couple of hours delay, the policia pulled me up and rifled through my bag ( complete with rifle) and laughed uncontrollably at my che guevara pin badge- and held up the plane for a further hour whilst they worked out what a girl with a rucksack full of rum & a che badge was doing on a charter flight to the UK with loads of pissed UK tourists!!I would not recommend sleeping here due to the amount of package tourists. Guaranteed to make things worse than they needed to be!happy sleeps amigos "

CONS - "This was an experience NEVER TO FORGET! As we waited for our flight back to Toronto, the waiting area was overcrowded, noisy, lots of drunks (not enough consumed at the resort), and if you wish to dine with cockroaches, this is the place to eat. Cockroaches were scampering across the sandwich counter, over the meat, cheese and bread."
