I was quite disappointed with my stay at this Margaritaville. It felt the most outdated of any I’ve visited. The property is small, and the food, while decent, didn’t stand out. Additionally, there is only one restaurant on-site, which limits dining options. The rooms were also in need of a refresh, as they felt quite dated. Overall, I expected more from the Margaritaville brand.

The staff and service was excellent. Very attentive and positive attitude and fun service. The activities process was confusing and were cancelled last minute, that was a little disappointing and can be improved. We had the all inclusive package and the food and drinks were good.

Excellent staff - as soon as you arrive the staff make you feel special and appreciated - Antonio Manuel the porter welcomed us with a great smile and conversation; Carol at reception kindly gave us a room with a beautiful view of the ocean; Gabriella from housekeeping gave us everything we needed with warmth and kindness, Jose Manuel the activities manager was so attentive and generous with his time and advice, and even played pickleball with us; Jose Antonio from the groundskeeping service gave us coconuts he cut from the trees, Julio from security made extra effort to make us comfortable on the beach and around the pool; Tatiana and Douglas at the restaurant attended to our every request, and even surprised us with special treats; and Elias the pool bartender who was a great conversationalist and sang karaoke salsa songs like a professional. It was as if each one had the attitude "what more can I do to make you happy?" Scott the manager meets with each guest at breakfast to make sure they are happy. Food quality was exceptional - truly gourmet quality. The music performers at the upstairs restaurant were outstanding-especially the one on Monday night, 25 Oct. For a beach with no waves and pristine waters go to Playa Brasilito about 7 km away and then walk for about 15 minutes to Playa Conchal where the waters are pristinely clear, there are virtually no waves, and the beach is covered with seashells (hence the name conchal).

My husband and I had a wonderful time! The staff were amazing! Cesar, Manuel, Elias, Steicy, Juan Felipe! Gerald, who sells experiences/trips outside Margaritaville was amazing (right next to the beach). The hotel is literally steps from the beach. The pool and swim up bar was wonderful! The food was amazing and I was so very happy with the whole experience! Scott is an excellent Manager of the complex. I never saw an unhappy person! Pura Vida!

Margaritaville resort is a nice getaway for a few days. The rooms are nicer and the all inclusive option is well worth it. The Italian restaurant is top notch and so is banana bend restaurant. The staff is extremely nice and helpful. A shootout to Randall, Gabriel (servers) and Jonathan, Carlos (chefs) at Capprissicio. Highly recommend it
