If you are a backpacker and you find yourself in Isla Margarita. DON`t waist your money in Porlamar. Resorts only. Isla Margarita is not actually backpacker friendly but once there, stay in Juangriego. It is the most "backpacking" oriented part of the island. Suggestion. Hotel Patrick. It is a hostel close to a siimple nightlife and decent bar in the front steps.
