Attended with my family, Whats not to like from the moent you pull up the hotel looks brilliant, Booking in was easy and we were in our rooms in 10 minutes. the room was sapcious and clean and had good amenities. We took a walk around the resort and found it to be so clean and very well looked after. the pools on the whole were pretty quiet and found access to sunbeds pretty easily the gym is what it is for a hotel. the shuttle bus that runs every day is a brilliant service and the promenade down the road has some lovely resteraunts, If your looking for breakfast there are not many resteraunts close by which is a shame we found Kekes which is 15 minutes away to be superb. would definatley stay here again if returning to the area.

Rented cottages for a family reunion, the cottage sizes were good, ideal location and surrounding areas offered a lot for the family to do and see.

What's the point of sending and telling me to complete a credit card authorization form, if you are not going to use as instructed. There is no "welcome out reach " or "how was your stay" follow-up, I get better service from a Macdonald's Read less

This is our first time visiting Margaritaville and we love it. I am actually still at the resort for a few more days. I was a little nervous after booking my trip and then reading some of the reviews. But this place is wonderful. We have a cottage and it is beautiful. I know many people complained about the cottages and I have to admit there are a very few minor things in the house that aren’t perfect but it’s not a problem at all. Just know if you are in a cottage there is no daily maid service. You have a call a number if you want new towels or garbage taken, haven’t had to do it yet but doesn’t seem like a big deal. My only complaint is that when I reserved a 2 bedroom cottage I specifically asked if the second bedroom would have 2 beds in it and they said yes. The cottage we got has a king bed in the second bedroom not 2 beds. My boys were disappointed seeing they are both teenagers but we didn’t want to have to call and the wait for another cottage so they made it work. But I am disappointed that what I asked ( and that’s what I requested when I made the reservation months before) was not done. The pools are great! And they aren’t freezing which is nice. They even had a guy playing pool games with guest and a foam party in the pool Friday night which was awesome and my kids loved it. Only bad thing about the pool area is that the bars close so early. The pool is open till 10pm and the bars are closed by 7-8pm and a party is going on at the pool. Doesn’t make sense and was super inconvenient. Seeing you can not bring your own drinks in the area. The surrounding area is great. The Sunset walk and waterpark are walking distance away and it has so many choices of things to do. All in all it is a great experience. We would love to come back. Just wish I was given the requested cottage I booked but like I said it wouldn’t stop us from coming back. Read less

We stayed for 5 nights in June in a 3 bedroom villa. The villas are nice enough, living/ dining area was a bit poky and you can't walk around the table while people are sitting down.

We stayed for 5 nights in June in a 3 bedroom villa. The villas are nice enough, living/ dining area was a bit poky and you can't walk around the table while people are sitting down. The resort is relatively close to the Disney parks but really far from Universal. The Florida traffic was brutal all day, every day. The villas are really far away from the main building. We are a young, fit family but it was way too hot in the Florida heat to walk. We walked back from there one day, about 15 minutes walking, and all of us nearly had heatstroke. You must call the reception and ask for the courtesy bus if you don't have a car. The worst part of the stay was when the fire alarm in our bedroom starting chirping one night at around 11.30pm. It took four phone calls and three visits from an employee (who wasn't actually the maintenance man) to get it to stop by 4am. We didn't sleep at all that night. And the worst part is we had no response from management the next day. No apology, no offer to make it up to us - nothing. On check out, when I was ready to give my feedback on the woeful customer service, I was told by a young man at reception "if you're checking out, just leave your wristbands in that basket and you can go". It was only after completing the post-stay survey that I received a belated email from management saying "I apologize for the fire alarm issues". That's it. Incredibly underwhelmed and wouldn't stay here again. Read less

The sofa bed and chairs were full of stains. The trash was not taken out. The check in lines are extremely long. Bedroom downstairs has no closet
