This place is totally underwhelming. It was a disaster from checkin to checkout. Jimmy would be appalled at how his dream is being carried out.

The property is need of several upgrades especially the lift for the special needs guest. Everyday there was an issue with the lift. I had to use the lift because I was there with my disabled son. The property also showed and gave special privileges to certain guests as to bringing food out of the restaurant in a to-go boxes, with I’m sure no questions asked. I took pictures of the special guest that were given special privilege to take to go boxes from the restaurant. They had on every color of the arm wrist which were orange, bluish-green and white. When I asked the first time for a to go box, I was told” I will do it this time” Sometimes i brought my son down to the restaurant and sometimes to make my stay easier on me I would feed him the room. After being told this time, is the reason I took pictures and saw several other guest that were given special privileges to take to-go plates and hundred percent sure that they wasn’t told “this time” I spoke with the guest manager regarding my issues as to the lift for the special needs guest and being given a hard time as to taking to go plates out the restaurant. She stated that is the resort policy not to take to-go plates out of the restaurant. Not knowing that I had already taken pictures of the guest that were given special privileges. She state that would let the staff know that it was okay for me to take the to-go plate, again I had already seen other special privilege guest taken them. I take vacations to try and relax

My husband and I had a wonderful experience at Margaritaville in Playa Falmingo, Costa Rica. The resort was very clean and had a wonderful, friendly staff. The beds were extremely comfortable and the linens were top quality. My only suggestions for improving this property are: that they install more hooks and rods for guests to hang their wets bathing suits and towels. They ask that you don't use the balcony rails to hang your things, but unfortunately don't offer any options for guests. As a beach resort they should have plenty of drying options available. Also, the water pressure was not very good at all. This is probably due to the fact that the building, although clean and very nicely decorated, was a bit older.
