This review is a trip I took a few years ago to Caracas, Venezuela.
About CaracasCaracas is the capital city of Venezuela and has 4 million inhabitants who live there.
Caracas is the commercial and industrial centre of Venezuela and these include places such as meat packing, sugar refining and even tobacco products and glassware.
Caracas is also 900 metres above sea level and is a city which is situated next to the Caribbean port of La Guaira and is right on the coast.
Weather
The weather throughout the year is roughly the same but there are also the additional bad storms that might hit the city.
The normal temperatures throughout the year is around 27c and at night time can be around the 15c mark so at night time might seem the same as it would during the day.

Orientation and Important Stuff
For those who do not know Venezuela is in South America on the northern coast of the continent looking out towards Trinidad and the rest of the Caribbean, in the west you have the Andes before you land up in Columbia and the south west is dominated by the jungles that lead into the Amazon. The capital city is Caracas which is located in the north, apart from the airport I spent no time in the city and only saw it from the windows of a bus. It has a bad reputation for crime however like all such places if you are sensible and stay in the tourist areas and do not venture out alone at night then you will be fine, the whole month in Venezuela the only negative comment I heard about Caracas was from a German bloke who got pick-pocketed on public ...
Advantages: very good location, excellent accommodation Disadvantages: none
you could use but you have to buy your own bats and balls.
There was a lot of security around these apartments with patrols day and night which made us feel secure.
There are lots of shops beneath the apartments but there was no noise from them. Generally the apartments were quiet and peaceful.
The supermarket is just across the road selling fresh baked bread and all your essentials.
The surrounding area is full of top class restaurants, Chinese, Spanish, Mexican, Indian, American and many more. We were spoilt for choice as where to eat in the evening.
The location of the apartments is very good and you could walk to either Los Cristianos one way or in to Playa de las Americas town the other.
I would not hesitate to recommend these apartments to anyone of any age. They are fantastic! ...
