Hotel Santa Fe Suite Garden, Caracas

Advantages: Beautiful small city in a dramatic desert and mountain landscape
Disadvantages: Expensive and somewhat pretentious, having lost the laid-back attitude of the past

...pleasure to come away from shopping excursions at the Santa Fe Flea Market bearing such prizes as traditional Native American jewelry, African baskets, Mexican blankets, handmade toys from Ecuador, handcrafted silver earrings from Canyon Road, pine nuts harvested by local farmers, and a rather shabby lamp being sold out of someone’s car boot. I admit to being a bit impulsive with that last purchase, but the rest were bargains every bit as good as I hoped they’d be. Still, for perspective visitors to this mecca of consumerism, the traditional warning of “caveat emptor” is well remembered. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lodging and Restaurants ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lodging in Santa Fe varies from modestly priced basic motel rooms, to comfortable suite hotels, to luxurious accommodations in the city’s historic La...

Advantages: Quiet, relaxed, small hotel with high standards, efficient friendly staff

Situated in small well kept gardens within the complex that also contains the outdoor restaurant/bar, pool, Ayervedic clinic (for massage or traditional therapies) and a crepe restaurant. The rooms are airy and clean. Ours contained a small kitchen area with a sink and fridge stocked with water, beer and soft drinks. A ceiling fan in each room and an air conditioner as well in the bedroom. There was also a small TV... Read review
