Clean room, comfortable beds. Restaurant service was not very friendly. Also, bartender didn’t want to give us happy hour price on drinks although they offered happy hour. I had to tell him and he ended giving me just one drink at half price. Expensive food and drinks that were just mediocre.

We loved this hotel. The staff was efficient and the room was clean. It is ideally situated in front of the beach. Two suggestions to improve this hotel 1) Add a fourth restaurant to diversify the food offering. 2) Add more shaded areas around the pool. We will recommend this hotel to our friends.

Great location with beautiful beach access. We arrived early and the GM gave us our wrist bands right away so we could eat and drink so that was great. We also were into our room by 10am so didn’t have to wait until 1500. Smaller resort which was nice and food was all inclusive decent with the breakfast omelette being excellent.

We enjoyed our stay at Margaritaville. The room was beautiful and clean as were the hotel pool and general facilities. Breakfast was good. Our only complaint is that we were very surprised there were no beach chairs for guests set up. Disappointing for a beachfront resort! We were told you could request these, but that felt a bit discouraging. Also, days after eating the breakfast buffet every day we found out from another guest you could choose to order a la carte instead. It would have been nice to know this. Overall though a beautiful place and an enjoyable stay. Good restaurants and shops within walking distance.
