 Avenida 4 de Mayo in Porlamar by marshadfern
That can happen anywhere ...it did to my aunt in Fla. but just be extra cautions because they may think since you have enough money to travel here ..that is means you are well off financially !
Usually the pick pocketers can work in crowds too ...like once a group of younger girls crowded around my friend when they walked close to her and took what she had in her pocket. It wasn't much but it happened.
so all eyes peeled and you will still have a GREAT vacation in Margarita ! Leave a Comment

 The airport by gcmm
This is more of a problem at Caracus international airport than margarita.
They will walk with you and than ask you for money, please tell them not to walk with you.

MARGARITA ISLAND AND PALM BEACH HOTEL ARE VERY NICE PLACES BUT USE THE SECURITY MEASURES AVAILABLE TO YOU AND COMMON SENSE. TAKE THE SHUTTLE FROM/TO THE HOTEL/BEACH ALL THE TIME, NOT FOR LAZINESS, BUT FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY. DON’T LEAVE THINGS ON THE BEACH UNATTENDED OR FALL ASLEEP WITHOUT SOMEONE LOOKING AFTER YOUR THINGS (SOMEONE’S SHOES WERE TAKEN WHEN THEY WERE SLEEPING IN THE SUN)
WHILE WE WERE THERE TWO DRIVE-BY MUGGINGS OR ATTEMPTED MUGGINGS TOOK PLACE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY!!!
This is an impoverished island, so crime would be expected. Just don't take unnecessary risks.

You find in the market at Porlamar lots of fake brands! You'll see the details, do not worry! T-shirts of isla magarita has tikets of nike... or logo's of Tommi H. are sewed by and old grandmother on caps and sweaters. And yes Kalvin Clein is a brand too ;)
The only real brands you'll find there is in the large shopping street in Porlamar. you 'll take the bus form the market (outside the city) and drive tru some "blocks" and end-up in the city. (nice trip btw) Leave a Comment

 Narcotics by Appeltje
The result: 5 persons were not allowed to start their return flight back to Amsterdam. Local officials extended their "Holiday" in Venezuela.
Also the Dutch customs checked our luggage again upon arriving. Leave a Comment

Salmonella !
I ate a egg, probably not cooked well, and i got this terrible belly-ache. Luckily for me it happened on the day I had to leave Isla de Margarita.
I was ill for 5 weeks and lost several kilo's. ( a good diet perhaps ? ) Leave a Comment

You are male and travelling alone? Beware of the "working women" approaching you at night in the bars - especially if you already had some drinks Leave a Comment

You really should ensure you take sufficient cash with you to last you. There are some banks - Porlamar, Jaungriego but from most hotels this is a cab journey away. There are no ATMs in Playa el Agua, even if there were they may not work for you.
I tried several times to get money out but to no avail. After you put your card in and enter your pin number they ask for another security number, which we wasn't sure about. It then asked you for the amount you wanted (giving you prompts), it then said that this was an invalid amount - no matter how much you entered. Not sure if this was a one off problem or not...
