We loved Margaritaville Costa Rica! It is right on the Playa de Flamingo which is a wonderful beach. The staff, the food, the drinks, the location & the sunsets where fabulous. We would only ask that who ever is in charge of the "pool music," please include some Jimmy Buffett songs. We where there for over two weeks and did not hear one Jimmy Buffett song over the stereo. (Fortunately, we brought our own music and small boom box.) We would definitely go back... hopefully soon. Pura Vida y tuanis mae!

Perfect small resort

I am so glad we decided to cxl our stay at the Westin and go with Margaritaville Beach Resort. Outstanding staff and service. Good food and drinks. We did All Inclusive which was a good choice for us. Amazing views from the hotel and beach. You can walk to the Playa Flamingo Marina as well. Love the pool area. Was concerned there could be too many kids in the pool area, but that was not the case during our stay. There are many things to do near the resort. I highly recommend Kayak fishing, although its best to go very early in the morning during the windy season.

Do not expect an all inclusive resort, many food items and all beer except Imperial are an extra cost, 1 restaurant requires a reservation even with many seats open. Drinks are low quality and a little bland. The employees do not seem to follow the rules of the resort on a consistent basis making it somewhat confusing, be prepared to spend money on canopies and chairs at the beach or get up early to save chairs. We had a better time off of the resort. Most employees were good but as in some places some seemed to not want to be there. Would definitely stay somewhere different if we decided to come back.

While the resort is fun not all the amenities advertised were available. We arranged for pick up at airport and someone was waiting but said we had to wait for the actual transportation. 45 minutes later we got our own taxi. When we tried to get a pedicure and manicure we were told they had no materials or people that do that even though it was listed for the spa. We tried to get boogie boards and were unable to. We took the children to the sand castle building contest area to be told the activities person was sick and the replacement person had worked the day before so could not come in. We did our own contest but it was disappointing for the kids. While everyone is nice and all is clean they do need to follow up on the small things that make a difference on vacation.
