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.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Highly Disappointed; I specifically paid extra for a pool room view with a king bed, and unfortunately that is not what I received. Instead, I was placed in a ground-level corner room. Although it was technically a “walk-out,” the patio faced a cement half wall and a bush, there was no actual view of the pool from the room. The only way to see the pool was to physically walk out and around the bushes . When I spoke with reception, I was told the only alternative available was a room with two queen beds, which did not match the king room I had booked. Since I specifically requested and paid for a king bed, this was not an equivalent option for us. Overall, I feel I overpaid for what I received. I expected the room category I selected and paid a premium for. While the staff were polite, the resolution offered did not reflect the difference in what was booked versus what was provided. I’m really unhappy about it - this was a surprise booking for my husbands 50th birthday and it definitely did not meet my expectations. I’m highly disappointed

Great resort located on Flamingo Beach. The resort sits off the Pacific Ocean so the water is very beautiful and very rough. The property is beautiful, located in a beautiful small area that has a plaza right across the street and a Marina within walking distance. This is a great location for couples even though the resort is open to families.
