Hotel Grand Galaxie
The staff and the service was good. Bathroom and bed was clean but every day I killed an insect. (cockroach) That was not good. Not the best part of the city. But for this price you can only stay at capitolio.

Venezuela Marriott Hotel Playa Grande
Nice hotel in La Guaira. We had ocean view, but there is no direct access to the beach. The rooms are nice, very comfortable. The food was good as well. Just 20 minutes from Caracas.
