Margarita Island is the largest island in the Venezuelan state of Nueva Esparta, situated off the northeastern coast of the country, in the Caribbean Sea. The capital city of Nueva Esparta, La Asunción, is located on the island. The island's status as a duty-free port and proximity to the mainland make it a popular vacation spot for Venezuelans. It sees a large number of tourists around Christmas time, Easter week, and from July to mid-September. Whiskey, cheese, chocolate, and electrical appliances, among other goods, can be purchased less expensively than on the mainland.
Dawn books quite a bit of our travel and is doing an AMAZING job. I have done a significant amount of travel over the years and I wanted to let you know that Dawn has been absolutely amazing to work with. She is prompt, accurate (in a business where 95% is not good enough :), friendly, professional. She continually goes above and beyond. She is hands down the best travel agent that I have had the pleasure to work with. Just wanted to pass that along.
