We checked in at 2pm, knowing that 4pm was the official time to check in. They would text us when the room was ready. At 4:05 I called to see if the room was ready and it wasn’t. I complained and was told that 4pm was the earliest time. I asked if the latest was 10pm??? I got a text 5 min later that it was ready.

The check-in process was a bit lengthy, I'm sure due to the number of guests checking in however our room was not ready so that was a bit frustrating. The room was very clear and the property overall was great. I highly recommend this resort and I'm looking forward to returning.

Would NOT recommend this place to anyone! Very understaffed making the check-in process take forever. Couldn’t put my family in the room that we reserved AND PAID FOR. The front desk employee told me that there was nothing they could go about the odor of marijuana in the hallway to our room, although the whole resort is supposed to be smoke free. The party across the hall from our room was smoking marijuana IN THE HALL. We expected a newly renovated room in the hotel with two king sized beds, and instead were put in a cabin on the complete opposite side of the resort, away from all the amenities, in a room with two full size beds that probably hasn’t been updated or renovated in the last 40 years. So disappointed in this resort. The front desk employee also recommended that we get a popular drink from the resort, called a Shark Bite. So after we checked in, we headed to the closest bar to order a Shark Bite, and NONE of the 3 employees working behind the bar knew how to make the drink. DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

We always enjoy our stay at Margaritaville. The room was nice, housekeeping was responsive when we needed something, and the bartenders at the tiki hut were amazing, as always - shoutout to Cara and Potter! The horse ride was fun for the kids, and the ice cream at the Provisions ship is amazing. Landshark restaurant on the property was awesome as usual, and Ben did a great job as our server. We did go to the water park on property, which was ok, but I would say it's not worth what they charge - it should be included in the stay for how little the water park is. We did enjoy its location and proximity to other activities and restaurants in the area. HOWEVER. We were swimming in the small pool on property, and found fecal matter floating in the water. We brought it to a maintenance employee's attention, and the pool WAS NOT shut down to be cleaned per CDC guidelines. The employee scooped up the fecal matter and moved on. We left the pool immediately and told others around us who also left, but it is extremely concerning that Margaritaville's cleanliness standards are not set at a level to keep guests safe. I'm not sure if I will return now, as I question whether my children and I will get sick swimming in their facility pools.

Pool chairs and seats are in poor condition, dirty and unkept. Constant elevator breakdowns. Landshark restrooms are filthy and unkept. The food is not of high quality. Bed comfort good. Registration staff very good. Children allowed to play on escalators. That is an unsafe.

Property has a fun vibe; however our room came with a side of moldy ceilings and a possible baby cockroach. We were able to move rooms quickly, but they would not reimburse the room due to booking through a 3rd party. Other notes: ceilings are low in some areas, its a huge property, but the offer free golf cart shuttle rides. We came on a week night and it was still busy, but there are 3 outdoor and 1 indoor pool to choose from and spread out.
