I stayed at Margaritaville in Costa Rica for a full week and overall had an amazing experience. The staff was incredibly friendly from the moment we arrived. I chose the all-inclusive package and did excursions every other day, so I was only on the resort about half of the time. Even with that, I will say the food did get a bit repetitive. It was very catered toward American tastes and didn’t change much throughout the week — that would be my only real downside. Aside from that, everything else was wonderful. The service truly stood out. At the swim-up bar, Elias went above and beyond for my kids, who kept ordering virgin margaritas. He even gave my three-year-old a tiny cup that was absolutely adorable. He was so friendly and patient — I couldn’t have asked for better service. The hotel itself was very clean. Housekeeping came every day, so I never had to worry about a thing. At the 5 O’Clock Somewhere Bar, Fiona, Nadezca, Steicy, Melvin, Marvin, and Gabriel provided excellent service as well. Overall, Margaritaville delivered a fun, relaxing vacation with exceptional staff. I would definitely recommend it, especially for families.

The resort was extremely clean and beautiful. The beach was pristine, smooth, unforgettable. The sunsets are brilliant. Our room was spotless everyday, amazing towel animals on the bed; a very nice touch. Wonderful staff. Breakfast staff were so friendly- Rodolfo, Andy, Paulino, Douglas. Jose and Priscilla doing the rec activities were great. Nadesca serving on the deck was very sweet. Jessica at the spa did a lovely hot stone massage. Elliot picked us up from a restaurant when it was dark! Flower got us a round trip uber on her phone that was reliable and reasonable to go to Conshell beach at the last minute on our last day. Everyone was super, even the security was friendly. Close to the resort is the marina and lots of places to eat. We felt totally safe and it was a wonderful place to relax and unwind. Highly recommend!

Our stay at Margaritaville Resort Costa Rica was memorable, the resort itself offers what you’d expect from an all-inclusive comfortable rooms, good amenities, and a beautiful beach the real standout here is the exceptional staff. The moment we checked in Malory at the front desk set the tone with a warm, friendly check-in experience. I hardly ever remember names, but the service here is was so great and personable that several people left a positive impression. Banana Winds, Rodolfo and Mauricio made every visit feel welcoming and easy. Over at the Italian restaurant, each meal felt like a personal experience every time we ate there, thanks to the incredible team—Randall, Yoleth, Carlos, and Kevin. And last but certainly not least Henry from security was not only professional but incredibly friendly and easy to talk to, adding an unexpected and appreciated personal touch to our stay. The gorgeous beach and phenomenal staff are what set it apart. Highly recommend and plan on retuning!

The staff we encountered were all awesome. Whether the front desk, the concierge, restaurants, or maintenance. Everyone was very friendly and professional. Check in was simple and quick. The concierge staff expertly setup some amazing experiences. The proximity to the marina for additional amenities is awesome as well. The only thing keeping the experience from being five stars is our room TV never worked the entire time we were there, not a huge issue, but we had maintenance try to repair the TV on three different days, and we finally gave up.
