This property was beautiful and the customer service was outstanding. Ferra (I think is how you spell her name & Deondre was amazing. When I arrived in Belize my phone was stolen at the ferry and I was using find my iPhone to track it. Deondre (the person who picks up guest from the ferry) came and immediately took me to the police station to get help with approaching the people who had stop my phone. Once that was over he took us to a place to have dinner and then to the resort. One thing that’s important to note is the transportation. Once arrived at Belieze airport we had to take a 15/20 min cab to the ferry doc this was about $30-35 next we took the ferry to the is (Ambergris Caye) this was about an hour or so but the view was absolutely beautiful so I didn’t mind the ferry at all. The cost was about $55 for a round trip or $24 one way. When the ferry arrived I was picked up by the resort and the ride was about 45-60 minutes by cab or 20/25 mins by boat (the resort has both options free) so I’ll be honest this resort was a little distance but it was worth it. I looked at MANY resorts and the weren’t nearly as beautiful. So if I had to do it again I would definitely pick the same resort. They have two beautiful pool areas, a spa, gym, right on the beach and a nice restaurant. Not to mention my beautiful two bedroom two bathroom condo style room. Plenty of space. I loved it, it was super clean but I spent most of my time it the pool. The resort & staff were amazing.

Stranded in the jungle
Everyone, please read this before you go. It is far from town! The drive is painful and enjoyable. I would highly recommend looking at other options. It's like the owners of this resort stranded everyone on this side of San Pedro and over priced everything to scam the guests! The food was horrible! I feel bad for Ken! He's so lovely and deserves to run a better place because this place is a dump. I would never again return to my life. We left early; this could've ruined our entire trip, and the worst part about this dump is that the prices are so high!!!

We had an excellent experience at this resort. We did have to ask to get the $100 resort credit as they didn’t have it on file and it was a promo that should’ve been included in our booking.

My experience at Margaritaville was deeply disappointing. While the resort may have been clean and well-maintained, it was overshadowed by several significant drawbacks. The frequent power outages were a major inconvenience. It's frustrating to be staying at a supposedly luxurious resort only to find yourself without electricity for extended periods. Additionally, the limited dining options and poor-quality food further dampened our stay. We had hoped for a variety of culinary experiences but were met with disappointment instead. The fact that there was only one restaurant option available during our visit was truly disheartening. Furthermore, the lack of staff and missing amenities described on their website added to our frustrations. It felt as though we were not receiving the level of service we had expected or paid for. The explanation that this was their "down season" did little to alleviate our concerns. If it truly was their off-peak period, why continue taking reservations and providing subpar service? This inconsistency left us questioning their commitment to guest satisfaction. Moreover, the logistical challenges surrounding transportation highlighted another flaw in Margaritaville's operations. Having such limited boat schedules meant that guests were essentially stranded on or off the island if they missed those specific departure times – an unacceptable situation for any vacation destination.

We had room 812 and even tho it’s a new resort, I don’t know if it was inspected because our bathroom had absolutely not one electrical outlet. We cannot do our hair, use electric razor, plug in makeup mirror, nothing. And it’s not like we couldn’t find it, my fiancé is an electrician. He thinks they drywalled over it. I had to use a plug in bedroom but it wasn’t near a mirror so had to use my hand held mirror to do hair. The sand bugs were absolutely horrible. I have about 50 bites on my legs & same with other guests. They need to spray. I did not know they charge a daily resort fee per person on top of price & many things were extra. For ex, you have to pay $75 to use the bbq if you wanted to cook yourself. There is just a fridge in room, no kitchens to make your own food like other resorts on island. The Pickleball court is included in the resort fee, but they wanted to charge you to use the paddles and balls. Very remote & far from town. So not being able to make some meals in room was very inconvenient. You don’t have another option to eat but in their restaurant.

The property was great, the staff, service and food was exceptional. Pool area and drinks were great as well. However, property location is super inconvenient if you're planning on doing more than just stay at the resort because you will be 1-2 hours way from the downtown of San Pedro. When we landed to San Pedro's Airport around noon, two staff members received us there and drove us on a golf car (wich is one of the island main transportation) to their office (that was 2-3 minutes drive). They offer a shuttle boat to the resort but it doesn't leave until 5:00pm which means you will not get to the resort until around 5:30pm - 6:00pm unless you pay for a taxi that cost " $100usd pp" cash. After you're at the resort you can stay there and relax, and enjoy the quietness. According to the staff to enjoy the beach, the best time to go is December and January because of the Sargassum. For me, I didn't like the moody feel of the sand at the beach resort. The resort only offers two shuttle on at 7am from the resort to the downtown and back a 5pm. We rented a golf cart for 1 day to go to Secret Beach without depending on the boat. For the golf cart you, front desk will help you requesting one, FYI the will call for one and someone will bring it from downtown to drop it off at the resort, plan ahead to have it by the morning or at least 1.5hr before the time you need it because is not grab and go. The cost for the golf cart was $55usd for the day plus $30usd for the dropoff.
