For the most part it was okay. The bed was comfortable. The room looked clean for the most part. But the bathroom smelled like a urinal or septic something or other. For the price paid thought it would be nicer. Very dated

Did not like the parking options. There wasn’t very much parking in convenient places, especially when they had a conference going on. Also did not like that they allowed people to smoke marijuana inside the rooms. The whole floor we stayed on smelled of marijuana all day long and all night long. It was horrible. Thankfully we weren’t in our room very much but to go to and from was bad!

Good thing there’s alcohol because you’ll need it!

Jimmy Buffett would be ashamed to have his name on this resort. There was only 1 person working at the check in counter and we were 4th in line and it too over an hour for her to get to us. Then, we had to park our trailer over 3 miles away from our room. When we FINALLY got to our room (over 2 hours after we initially arrived) the room smelled like mold and was filthy!!! The phone didn’t work, so we had to walk back to the front desk and wait in line again. The girl was friendly enough, but still did not have any help. We are NOW going on 3 hours, and asked for help with our bags, this time because now we are getting tired. A man reluctantly helped us with our bags, but was not happy about it. Our new room did not smell like mold, but there was a family of spiders living in the corner that I just learned to accept because I wasn’t going to ask for another room again. I went to the bar and had a margarita instead. I wouldn’t stay at this place again if it was free!! Beware!!

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.
