Hotel LTI Costa Caribe, Margarita Island

Hotel LTI Costa Caribe, Margarita Island, Venezuela

All Inclusive
The hotel is located in the northern area all by itself.
It's close by car to Playa Caribe or to the town of Juan Griego. ( 5-10 min. )
A taxi would be handy (US$4 o.w.), otherwise the heat wave would make it almost unbearable to walk down to any of the places I mention.
The "Grand Opening" was early 1999. With over 400 rooms, about 60% have an ocean view.

Basically, Google Maps lets you view a map of the world through a viewing area. To see more or less of the map in the view screen you need to zoom out or zoom in. The panning buttons allow you to move the map under the viewing area. If you want to look closer at a particlular area then you will want to use the panning buttons so that the desired location is centered in the viewing area and then Zoom In.

Earth - Google Earth functionality

Map, Sat and Ter modes are simple to use and quite useful. Earth mode is similar to Sat in they both use satellite images but thats where the similarity end. Earth mode, if you are not familar with the Google Earth application, can be a little bit tricky. Not only can you zoom in, zoom out and pan you can also spin the map around or view from an angle. The reason for all this functionality is that you are you are looking at a globe rather than a standard flat map. If you zoom out far enough you can see the entire earth and you can spin it around. If you like this then I highly recommend downloading the Google Earth application. Its fascinating, its fun and best of all its FREE!
