	Food & Beverage Laguna Mar is an all-inclusive resort so all food and beverages are included. There are several restaurants on site that offer everything from local cuisine to American style dishes. Quality or quantity of food is not an issue on resort. Activities Laguna Mar Resort is a family facility with lots of activities for the kids and a kid friendly environment - supervised by you. Beach - Terrific sandy beach which is not great for swimming as the surf is generally quite rough. Perfect for kicking around in the surf, body boarding, laying in the surf, but not good for snorkeling or swimming. Lots of beach chairs with restaurant and washrooms in the vicinity. Entertainment - Nightly a dance troupe entertains or you might enter the Miss/Mr Lagunamar Contest. Tours - There is a selection of tours dedicated to showing Margarita island to those up for 'going off resort'. The cost of these tours are not included. Running & Cycling You can rent a bike on site (a standard leisure bicycle - not a mountain bike, 10 speed or road bike) and cycle the 3 km track around the resort. This track works well for running too and there are some trails on site for the adventurous cross country runners.
