This property was kept spotless! The people working on property were absolutely amazing! They were kind, helpful, and genuine. We ate on property most meals and enjoyed all of them immensely. The resort is small and quaint and felt very much like a large family with a wonderful beach to walk on adjacent to the property and a large pool with swim up bar to cool down in. Can’t wait to go back!

The resort was great overall. We loved the location on the beach and a few steps to dining and shopping options. It took us a day or two to sort out the pool towel replacements as the hours of operation are fairly limited. When open, the beach umbrellas were a great touch. They could use a few more beach chairs though as there is only a handful. Our family felt safe and got to enjoy the Costa Rica sun and sand.

Our stay at Margaritaville was great! We loved everything about the property, it looks nice, clean and well kept. The staff was awesome, the food was delicious and when we stayed there it was no very busy, so we never had issues with finding free beach chairs or restaurant seats. Great place for a family vacation!

Our family had a wonderful vacation at this resort. It was clean and well maintained. The staff are hardworking and provide excellent service. The buffet breakfast and food were delicious and drinks were high quality. The resort overlooks a beautiful beach and we spent our time between the pool at the resort and the beach. The resort also has a nice family pool and ping pong room and family activities. It is a smaller resort compared to a number of other all inclusive vacations we've been to, but a true slice of paradise.

Title: Not Worth the Price – Poor Service & Outdated Property I booked this hotel based on positive reviews, but my experience was the opposite. The all-inclusive package was extremely limited—same food daily, only one restaurant and one pool bar. The pool bar staff were horrendous. They blatantly ignored guests, including children, and only served those who tipped heavily or they favored. Others waited 20 minutes, often without acknowledgment. For a hotel where this is the only open food and drink option for long parts of the day, it was unacceptable and completely ruined the experience. Cheap bear and house liquor only were included. Housekeeping was inconsistent. We got one towel per person and had to track down staff for basic items like shampoo. Water was shut off nightly from 2–4 a.m., which is ridiculous. No pool or beachside service, and beach chairs had to be requested. The hotel is outdated. One pool, no hot tub, and the “a la carte” Italian restaurant offered little more than basic pasta. Excursions were limited and far away. While the beach was beautiful and sunsets were lovely, this property doesn’t reflect the charm of Costa Rica, nor is it worth the price. To Management: Please train your pool bar staff in hospitality. Their attitude was unacceptable. Also, I question the authenticity of the glowing reviews—my experience was nothing like them. I will not return nor can I recommend this hotel. Visit Costa Rica, but stay somewhere else.

We loved staying here! The view to the beach was so beautiful and so easy to get to. The resort itself offered all the things. Main dining room was great and the staff was soooo nice! My husband hurt his foot pretty bad in the ocean and the staff let us borrow the crutches they had and told us where a pharmacy to get other supplies we needed. The only hard part was staying on the ocean front view room at night - the ocean was sooo loud and would wake us up every night due to the big waves crashing. We even use white noise and still got woken up. Other then that we loved our stay and would stay there again!!
