The hype
Guests love the massive grounds and friendly animation team, but often complain about repetitive buffet food after day three.
Sunsol Ecoland
$100-160/ noć
Rezervirajte ovaj smeštaj ako You want a massive, self-contained Caribbean playground where the pool scene is lively and you don't mind trading some modern polish for sprawling nature.
Zašto Ljudima Sviđa
- Four distinct ecosystems on-site: lagoon, dunes, mountain, and beach
- Massive pool complex (6 pools) that never feels too crowded
- Direct access to Playa Puerto Cruz, one of Margarita's most scenic oceanic beaches
Brzi pregled: It's the biggest resort on the island and feels like a small city, but the rooms are tired and Venezuelan infrastructure glitches (power/water) are part of the package.
Pregledano od @vikadove: I had the most incredible time soaking up the sun here! The contrast between the cacti and the Caribbean sea is stunning. I spent my days eating fresh oysters on the beach and playing mini-golf at sunset. It’s the perfect spot to just let go and have fun.

Reality check
The 'Ecoland' concept is beautiful, but it means walking significant distances between your room, the pool, and the beach—bring comfortable sandals.
- You are traveling with a multi-generational family who needs constant entertainment
- You prefer a resort that feels like a nature park rather than a concrete block
- You want an all-inclusive experience without paying Punta Cana prices
Čistoća i održavanje
8
- Housekeeping: Daily service is reliable and staff are friendly, but they are battling aging infrastructure.
- Bathroom hygiene: Clean but dated. Expect worn grout and older fixtures, though generally free of mold.
- Maintenance: The biggest weak point. Peeling paint and finicky AC knobs are common.
- Linens & towels: Clean but often threadbare or slightly grey from age.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells fresh; ground floor rooms can smell damp/musty due to the lagoon.

- Hallway chatter in the 'Laguna' section
Pre nego što rezervirate
Korisno znati
- The hotel uses a desalination plant, so water availability is better than most of the island, but pressure can fluctuate.
- Bring cash (USD small bills) for tips; local card terminals can be finicky.
- The ocean at Playa Puerto Cruz has strong waves; Playa Zaragoza (5 min walk) is calmer for kids.
Šta pakovati
- Portable power bank (for phone charging during potential outages)
- Insulated travel mug (to keep your all-inclusive drinks cold)
- Strong bug spray (the 'Ecoland' lagoon breeds mosquitoes)
Genie za sobe

“I would appreciate a room in the Oasis or Matasiete section, preferably on an upper floor to avoid humidity. Please confirm if the room has a renovated AC unit.”
Česta pitanja i skriveni saveti
Sve što zaista trebate da znate pre nego što rezervirate.
Is the electricity reliable?
The hotel has generators, but they may not power AC in all standard rooms during island-wide rationing. Premium areas get priority.
Is the food good?
It's decent but repetitive. The breakfast arepas and fresh fruit are highlights; the meats and desserts can be hit-or-miss.
Is the beach swimmable?
Yes, but Playa Puerto Cruz has strong surf. Strong swimmers will love it; families with toddlers should walk to the nearby calm bay.
Is there wifi in the rooms?
Technically yes, but it's slow (often <5 Mbps). Don't count on it for streaming or work.
Do I need a car?
No, if you plan to stay on the resort. Taxis are available for trips to Porlamar or Pampatar (30-40 mins away).
Is it safe?
Yes, the resort is a gated compound with security. The surrounding Pedro Gonzalez area is a quiet fishing village.
Insajderski saveti
- ✨
The 'Bodegón' on-site sells snacks and imported liquor if you get tired of the domestic well drinks.
- ✨
Book the a la carte restaurants (Luciano or Tilapia) immediately upon arrival; slots fill up fast.
- ✨
Walk to the far left of the beach to find the path to Playa Zaragoza for a totally different, calmer beach vibe.
5 stvari koje trebate znati prije nego što krenete
💡The 'Ecoland' lagoon is beautiful but smells sulfurous on hot days.
💡The 'train' that shuttles guests around is slow and loud—walking is often faster.
💡You might see iguanas and goats roaming the grounds (part of the charm!).
💡The gym is functional but very dated with rusty equipment.
💡Weekend crowds from the mainland can overwhelm the buffet lines.
