 | |  |  | Hotel Plaza Venezuela: Arrive, take a shower, sleep and go... | Tip Rating:   Satisfaction:   |  |  | |  |
Venezuela is one of those countries in which you have to arrive to the capital (Caracas) and, from here, depart to everywhere else. (With very few exceptions, like Margarita Island, that has direct flights). So imagine you arrive late at night: Plaza Venezuela Hotel is the place to sleep.
It right in the middle of town. Is clean. Is safe. Is not very expensive. Do not walk around happily and freely like if you were Little Red Ridinghood. This is a so-so kind of place, kind of dangerous area. But you are here to sleep and to continue your travel next day. There is a very kind lady at the front desk (now on Jan 2004), her name is Ramona, and when you tell her: "thank you very much", she answers back: "Oh, dont you mention!"... (I like this expresion a lot).

| | | | Hotel Aladdin: EROTIC? WEIRD? HILARIOUS? REALLY FUN? | Tip Rating: Satisfaction: | | | | |
This is a place where you go to have sex. Unfortunatelly I havent been there, so all of what Im about to tell you are other people stories. This hotel pretends to be an Aladdin "palace" that offers couples (man and woman, I've havent found out if they accept gay couples. I'm dont think so. I dont think they are so "advanced" for this) a variety of rooms and erotic "packages" for sexual purposes. It goes from Sex 101 to... who knows what. Depending how much money you want to spend, you can get a simple "package" or "combo" with: a bag of rose petals; a blue bottle of very sweet liebfraumilch wine; candles; inciense; fruty oil. (Condoms... optional). (I suggest that you always stick to the condoms. Save sex. Did you know that 90% of the latinamerican women who have AIDS have been infected by the only man in their life, that is: The Husband? Did you know that? 90%!!!). Back to the "package" or "sexy combo"... as you see, you dont have to get too creative, here. Let them do the mise-en-scene... you have sex. (A question just popped into my mind... Would they also offer Viagra pills?... I wonder).
The best rooms (4 or 5) have a cristal roof for you to see the stars while having sex (if you can do both things at the same time, that is). Also, they have a transparent over-the-floor level jacussi (right in the middle of the room, next to the bed). You have to climb some stairs in order to get into the jacussi. And... they have these strange looking furniture, something in between a bench and a table, that -if you are really candid- makes you think about torture machinery and devices. But that also is for sex purposes. I havent found out either if you can stay all night long (or all day long) or if they charge you for extra hours. I'll never find out. A lady, in Venezuela, will not call to one of these places in order to ask questions... (but that same lady will happily go there if she is invited by the man she loves). Be sure to check the www I'm writting below. And the erotic adventure continues!!! There are other Aladdin Hotels in other cities in Venezuela.

But this is not a nice place for walking. Get a taxi. And be discret when you go inside this place. People enter silently and low profile. Once in their room... well, imagine.Website: www.hotelaladdin.com Other Contact: 58-212-952-0791

| | | | GRAN MELIA CARACAS: Nice, but expensive Compare Rates NEW! | Tip Rating:  Satisfaction: | | | | |
Melia Caracas is a very nice hotel, it features a nice gym too with an indoor pool. No extra fee for guests. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. There is a surcharge for the broadband internet. In compare with the Embassy Suites in the same city where it is free, and food can be a bit pricey, a salmon sandwich, a cheese plate and a coke USD59,00 :-\ . Taxis out of the hotel are pricey too. Minimum charge is about 6.00USD which is a bit over venezuelan standards.
Take your breakfast in the terrace, nice weather, or lunch in the pool. As I said before, gym is great. It is next to a mall so if you need something is just a few steps away. Complete set of in room amenities if you are traveling on business you'd find it useful. Jacuzzi tub.

| | | | Caracas Hilton: Is not CARACAS HILTON anymore, is HOTEL ALBA Compare Rates NEW! | Tip Rating: Satisfaction: | | | | |
It used to be one of the finest *****stars hotels in Caracas, and -inside- I guess it still is. Oh-oh... but its surroundings in 2005!!! In front, facing the East is the Complejo Cultural Teresa Carreño, a humongous construction for opera, theater, orchestras, ballet, cinema, coffee shop, one restaurant, art gallery, two bookstores, etc.etc.etc. Further East there are two museums: the Art one and the Natural Cience one. Adn the a park called Los Caobos. Further further East there is the Mosk and the Casa del Artista (with another theater). To the South there is the Museo de Arte Contemporaneo Sofía Ímber. "El MACSI", and the Children Museum. The artistic shops of the museum. So far... excelent but... to the West... to the Wicked Witch of the West... the territory is taken by "buhoneros" (check that in my danger and warnings, please)... and is horrible, and smells even worst, and if filthy and very dangerous. Too bad, because the Hilton is located right by the Metro Station: Bellas Artes... right where a venezuelan friend of mine and an australian friend or mine were robbed.
Inside is great. It has all the facilities and more. And the food is great. What worries me is the back part of the hotel. The western part. If for some specific reason you MUST arrive to this hotel, and you want to go to the other side, to the cultural huge area, please DO NOT go up the stairs, walk over the avenue and go down the stairs at the other side. NO!!! You can get a. robbed b. rapped c. killed d. all of the above e. none of the above if you are really lucky Please, stick to the side walk, walk to the corner, wait until the light changes and cross the street... Although, this isnt pretty safe, either. About two years ago I was walking in this side walk, and a guy (passing by on a bus) threw an empty bottle of rhum at my head. It missed me by this much: ¡.! CORRECTION!!! JANUARY 2OTH UPDATE!!!! YESTERDAY I WENT TO THIS AREA. I WENT TO THE CULTURAL RADIO OF EL ATENEO DE CARACAS, RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE HOTEL. WELL... GUESS WHAT? THERE WERE NO "BUHONEROS" TOWARDS THE WEST!!! WHERE DID THEY GO? IT WAS DIRTY, BUT NOT FILTHY!!! I WAS HAPPYLY SURPRISED. I MUST CHECK EVERY NOW AND THEN, BECAUSE SINCE 1999 THIS WEST SIDE WAS THE FILTHY AND DANGEROUS. SOMETHING HAPPENED NOW IN JAN 2005. HURRAY!!!!
