We have recently returned from a P&O Arcadia Caribbean cruise J601. We loved it and really liked the ship, though she is different to the other P&O ships.
We did most of the 'usual' ports but Isla de Margarita was new to us and we had great difficulty finding out anything about this island. Most people do not seem to venture far from the port area and this would be such a shame as we were really amazed by this Island.
We had a fantastic full day tour with an American couple with an air conditioned Ford 4X4. They are a great couple and really love this island and will show you everything there is to see. They do not rush you, you are free to spend as long as you like wherever, take photos whenever, stop when you want. They will take you wherever you want to go. All at an extremely reasonable rate. Their contact is Marcella Tinsman at crusin_n_style98@yahoo.com
It really is a lovely island with lots to see, lots to do, lots to explore and discover. Fishing villages, mangrove swamps, beaches, cactus covered low lands, mountains, old traditional villages, big modern cities, old churches, forts, castles, pearls, monkeys, seahorses, starfish, eagles, pelicans and much much more.
There is so much to see and discover on this island. It really is an island of contrasts - absolutely fascinating.
The whole cruise was wonderful, but our 'discovery' of this Island made the cruise extra special.
So glad to hear that you enjoyed Margarita Island.
We had two weeks there three years ago, and really enjoyed the Island and the people.
We stayed in Playa el Agua at a 2 star hotel which was wonderful. There was a real mix of nationalities staying at the hotel. The beaches were soft white sand, and the water was lovely and warm.
The whole island is a wonderful experience.
Will you go back again
Marn and Mike.

Pleased to hear other good words about this Island of contrasts. It deserves more praise than it gets! We were so surprised and want others to appreicate that there is much more to this Island than just the dockside beach and stalls.
