Contemporáneo Av Santiago Mariño between calles
Igualdad & Velásquez T 0295 988 4978. A decent option
in a safe setting, although you'll have to shout upstairs
to be let in. The rooms (en suite, a/c, TV) are made darker
by windows that don't open, and making a reservation
over the phone can prove troubles ome. Ne vertheless, its
location beyond the centre is a plus. BsF150
España C Mariño, at Av La Marina T 0295 261 2479. An
alarm clock is unnecessary in this friendly establishment
as the frisky canaries (and one mad parrot) don't shut up
after their covers come off. The rooms are decent enough,
with fan, TV and en suite, and there's also free wi-fi. Get
your beers from the Chinese r estaurant up the street after
the off-licences close. BsF130

& Hernández T 0424 811 6485. Larger-than-life owner

a communal kitchen, this is a good , secure o ption a is hort
walk from the centre. Dorms BsF80 , doubles BsF200
Posada Bahía del Rey C Fermín, at Av Raúl Leoni T 0295
264 8947, E posadabahiadelrey@gmail.com. Bright yellow
posada away from the chaos of the city, and only five steps
from the seashore. Catch some rays on their lounge chairs on
the beach before heading back to the warm and welcoming
rooms (en suite, TV). There are plans to build a four-person
apartment and swimming pool. BsF260
