Hotel Puerto Viejo is located on Avenida Santiago Mariño in Porlamar, the main commercial and tourist city of Margarita Island and the island's principal retail hub, known for duty-free shopping. The hotel sits within walking distance of Porlamar's beach zones including the Rómulo Gallegos beachfront, as well as the concentration of shops, restaurants, and nightlife that makes Porlamar the most active urban area on the island. The main ferry terminal at Punta de Piedras, connecting Margarita Island to the Venezuelan mainland coast, is approximately 25 kilometres away by road. Del Caribe Internacional Santiago Mariño Airport, which handles domestic flights from Caracas and other Venezuelan cities, is approximately 15 kilometres south of the hotel.

The hotel building is a mid-rise urban property consistent with Porlamar's commercial neighbourhood aesthetic, offering standard three-star facilities in a practical configuration. The property has operated for several decades and is a well-established address among Venezuelan domestic travellers visiting the island for shopping and beach time. Public areas include a reception lobby, a ground-floor restaurant and bar, and a swimming pool.

Room types include standard doubles, twin rooms, and larger configurations for families, each fitted with air conditioning, private bathrooms, satellite television, and WiFi. Breakfast is available at the on-site restaurant, which serves Venezuelan staples and light international options through the day. The swimming pool is a practical amenity for guests returning from beach excursions during the hottest midday hours. A tour desk assists with organising day trips to other beach zones — including Playa El Agua to the north — and to nearby Isla Coche. On-site parking is available. The hotel's primary appeal is its central Porlamar location and straightforward service suited to Venezuelan domestic travellers and visitors focused on the island's duty-free shopping and beach circuit.
