What
is the best choice in Los Roques?
Posada
(small hotel/inn) or onboard a Sailboat!
All
rooms have fans, but since there is not a lot of wind in the little crowded
village, the nights are very hot and there is a lot of mosquitoes. There is
a lot of noise in the village, specially around the end of the weekend.
Sailboat:
Small
but comfortable cabins, very good ventilation and lots of fresh air, total
relax and you will only hear the light sound of the wind blowing since you
will be anchored in a safe and quiet bay with nobody else around. If you
feel for a swim in the night there is no problem.
Tours:
Posada:
You will have to leave Grand Roques every day, since the beaches there is
permanently occupied by Panjeros (small fishing boats), also you will have
to pay a fisherman to take you to the other Islands, which is not cheap and
most of the rides are rough and wet.
Sailboat:
In every Island you can enjoy your own private beach, having fun every day,
away from the crowd, at maximum pleasure: snorkeling, windsurf, fishing,
diving, Hobbie cat, etc. You do not have to move, everything is within
reach.
Activities:
Posada:
Its limited since the fishermen only bring people around to the Islands at
certain hours and since there is no night life you will not miss anything on
land.
Sailboat:
Every day, all day and night you can swim and do what you want, make
barbecue on the beach, or just enjoy the silence in the night on the boat.
Service:
Posada:
Is good but sometimes there is no water or light. Food is good but it is not
Cuisine.
Sailboat:
It personalized and most of the captains is gourmet cooks, also you can
always tell the cook what you like or dislike, or even give a few advises.
