Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Hesperia Isla Margarita

With a soaring atrium lobby, this gigantic white hotel resides on the north side of the island near Pedro González. It has the island's only 18-hole golf course and an almost deserted stretch of beach right behind it—alas deserted but for this larger-than-necessary bright-white edifice—so there are plenty of outdoor activities to indulge in here, especially swimming and walking along the beach. A sumptuous buffet breakfast is included in the rate.
