„DESPUES DE PASAR la entrada principal de Playa el Agua (vía manzanillo, pero a escasos metros de la entrada) y cruza en la segunda entrada a mano izquierda (Urb., La Mira)
(- 2 kioscos -uno azul - uno amarillo - en la entrada -“la calle del taller de Oscar” – entrada tiene forma de “Y”- entrada enfrente de la farmacia)
– casi al final de la calle queda a mano derecha la Posada (conocida también como el Hotel F.G.)- al lado del taller de Oscar- con una churuata grande enfrente.”
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By Bus: -- It’s really cheap, about 50 cents---
- The bus stop is nearby Plaza Bolívar - ask for 'Linea Playa el Agua' the last bus leaves around 9 p.m.
(Usually there’s no schedule for busses in Venezuela. The Bus leaves when all seats are occupied)
- Passing the main entrance to “Playa el Agua” get off the bus (tell the driver to stop there):
- Turn left the second street (diagonally opposite of the Farmacia - pharmacy) –
(The street has a wide entrance similar to a “Y”- you’ll see 2 small kiosks in the entrance - one is blue and the other one is yellow -, and you’re on the right way).- The street is called: Calle Diaz Ordaz, but the neighbors know it better as: “la calle del taller de Oscar”- because Mr. Oscar has his well known garage there.-
- Follow this street almost at the end of it you’ll see on your right hand site the
big Indian Palm Roof Top (In Venezuela this is called: Churuata, by it’s native
Indigenous name).
- Looking into the lot you’ll see on both “border walls” the writing:
“HOTEL F.G.”; this was the former Name of the Guesthouse. Some
Neighbors may know it still by this Name. (You may ask for this Name too)
---------------------------------------
At the moment we can’t offer a pick-up service. But it is very unproblematic and reasonable for you to get a taxi at the Airport or Ferry Port. A taxi from the airport to the Margarita Hostel may charge you around 20 $. The official Taxi's are waiting OUTSIDE of the Airport and have a YELLOW Number Plate. Travel time may be around 35 minutes (always depending to the traffic).PLEASE NOTE: Don't forget to tell the driver to take you to LA MIRA – PLAYA EL AGUA. (If you don't mention 'La Mira', he may bring you to a hotel in the ordinary touristy area of Playa El Agua as he may not know, that we are located in the real village of Playa El Agua (LA MIRA) where all the locals life. It may help too if you mention the old name of the Hostel. Formerly it was called HOTEL F.G. – “antiguo Hotel F.G.” – as a lot of residents still know us by this name.
In any case we are waiting here for you – anyway, if you think your arrival at Margarita Hostel will be after 22.30 pm – we would appreciate if you could call us from the Airport/ Ferry Port/ Porlamar - if it is possible for you.
