  DONT DO IT!!!!!!

  The resort pictures online are nothing like the resort there is absolutely no beach. There’s caution tape everywhere of the last hurricane that destroyed it. Can you imagine going to your vacation and not having the beach that you pictured or you can’t even walk it!! Thank God, I only stayed there one night waiting for our other hotel for the week. If I had to stay there for another day, I would’ve left and found another hotel. I also ordered appetizers from the only restaurant and bar there and they told me I need to come get it myself and they will bring a cowbell. We waited almost an hour for our food that was sitting at the bar when I walked up, he was on his phone. They automatically charge you 18% gratuities so I work so hard. I’d have to say the front desk girls are absolutely friendly wonderful and they deserve a kudos. Jimmy Buffett would be so ashamed. God rest his soul. The two pools are really nice though. The infinity pool on the upper top of the mountain we took a shuttle. We stayed there till dark. We couldn’t get back even after calling the hotel three times they finally picked us up after an hour. When I mentioned my complaints to the manager on check out, she blamed it on Expedia go figure third-party not our fault. Just had to do a shout out to people that think they’re going to get a great vacation and they’re not!!!!!!

  Smelliest most unusable beach on the island.

  The buildings were nice but the sargassum seaweed smelled so bad. Like truly awful, I was gagging. It is a short walk to Coki beach but there is no easy walkable path from the property to the road to get there. The bar is not a swim up bar and service was mediocre. This was off season so there weren’t a lot of people which was nice but there were enough it didn’t feel deserted. I will not be staying here again. There sales people were really trying to sell their time shares and were a little rude about it and were not good at sales. We were there for hours and they kept trying to sell us, it was never gonna work with how they treated us. But also if I was them, I wouldn’t want to show off that property.

  Terrible and Terrible

  The smell was unbearable. The sargassum at the beach was full of trash and piled thick and the water was filthy brown. The stench was so bad you could not even use the main pool, restaurant, or want to open the sliding door. The smell was so rancid it would wake you in your sleep. The shuttles would not offer a ride when walking in the pouring down rain or even show up when calling the front desk. The staff at the coffee shop/store seemed upset when ordering a cup of coffee and manners were non-existent. No one went out of there way to even say “hello”. All of the other beaches, hotels, and outdoor restaurants seem to manage the sargassum and trash without issue. Would never recommend. Do not stay here.

  Closed Beach

  We stayed at an Airbnb inside Pineapple Village inside the Margaritaville complex which would have given us access to Margaritaville Beach. When we arrived to our condo we went to have dinner at the restaurant. We wanted to sit outside for the view. We had to ask the waitress to pull down the roll up door to help with the smell. Yes sargassum happens naturally. However Margaritaville seems to have decided to ignore it and close their beach. I do not understand why they have given up on trying to clear the beach. We visited Multiple other beaches with no issues and in fact saw workers cleaning the beaches of the sargassum. The Margaritaville restaurant food was fair. The service was slow. It does have a manned security gate which was nice and the guards were helpful and nice. I would call and ask about the smell and see if the beach is open before I booked.

  Do NOT stay here

  A complete horror show. The service is as bad as the stench of the sea weed. The staff is absolutely checked out, the bathroom in the room needs to be completely demolished and rebuilt, as does the room. I asked for a little milk to put in my coffee, the waitress said that will be $4.00.😅. This is after not acknowledging me sitting at a table for 15 minutes. No one cares here. Don’t waste your time or your money.
