This all-inclusive resort provided a great spot for my wife and me to swim and lounge at the beach and pool, eat and drink all day and night, venture off to zip line, hike and swim in a rain forest, and take a sunset cruise (with snorkeling and kayaking) on a catamaran. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable, and very close to everything. It was fun swimming up to the bar for a drink and a snack. The three restaurants offered a good variety, and each had a bar, too. Five O’Clock Somewhere Bar & Grill offered a good view of the sunset over Brasilito Bay and had live music one night. The only negative was the group of four or five raccoons that had the run of the place. Some people recommended that we check out some of the nearby beaches, but we were content to swim and lounge at Playa Flamingo, just steps from the grounds. A staffer provided chaise lounges, even though the beach is public.…

Hotel's Favorite
We have been at Margaritaville for just over a week and it has been the most enjoyable stay we have ever had. Ultimately, credit for our perfect holiday goes to the hotel staff. Firstly, I would like to thank Rosaura, the hotel's wedding coordinator. We had a wonderful beach wedding at sunset. Our wedding day was perfect and we got everything we asked for and more. Rosaura was there from beginning to end. Mostly we communicated via email and I worried about how the wedding would turn out. She put me at ease and made the planning process simple and straightforward. We got married in a breathtaking location. After walking through the trees on the beach, we were rewarded with a breathtaking view of the ocean. Beautiful tropical flowers were used to cover our beach arch. It looked perfect. After the wedding, we held the reception at the hotel. Again, the set up was stunning, it just looked magical. Our waiter that evening was Eduardo. A real asset to the hotel. All our guests loved him and nothing was too much trouble for him. A second member of staff served drinks at our own lawn bar. I want to thank him too! As everyone was getting me drinks, I never made it to the bar, so I don't know his name. Paul & Matt was his signature cocktail. Once again, he was fantastic and made our evening even better. Unfortunately, we did not meet the chef who prepared our dinner. The dinner was delicious, and the presentation was impeccable. We are so glad we arranged our reception dinner through the hotel. My jaw dropped when I saw how wonderful it was. My chef truly excelled, went above and beyond, and really made our wedding day special. I would also like to mention the beautiful Rosaura again. I sent her a picture of a wedding cake I found on the Internet and asked if it could be made. She made it exactly as per the photo. Quite amazing. Wow! As part of my review, I'd like to mention Eduardo (again) and Margarite, as well as the pool bar staff and the 5 O'clock Somewhere bar staff. At this beautiful hotel, everyone works so hard and goes out of their way to make sure that you have a wonderful stay. Their welcoming nature is unsurpassed and the hotel is very accommodating to guests. I would like to extend my gratitude to them all. Everything about this place is wonderful. The rooms are comfortable and clean, the pool is huge, and the beach is simply divine. It's truly a paradise.…

We took my mom to Costa Rica for her first time and Margaritaville was perfect for us. The all inclusive package was priced right and we flat out enjoyed the stay. The trips into Tamarindo were reasonably priced as were the excursions. We will be back.

I have been here many times and this year I brought my adult grandchildren for their first visit.I knew they would love it and they did. Drive to the beach for swimming and the glorious sunset? No,it's right outside our door The resort is small enough to walk comfortably to everything..Enjoy all the facilities,especially the large beautiful pool and the restaurants, The resort is very well kept and the staff is amazing.Perfectly located,you can stroll to the beach or Playa Flamingo,a lovely ,safe town for additional restaurants,shops and a gorgeous new marina.We shall return!

Went with 2 friends to this wonderful resort. We had a great time the staff was amazing and very friendly. The rooms were nice but a little small but very clean and beds were comfortable. The restaurants were nice with a good variety. The Italian restaurant was the best and the waiter Hyme was very sweet and hard working. He went out of his way for us. I had a birthday during my stay and they made it special.

We just returned from a wonderful vacation here! The staff are great- especially Jamie, Fiona, Enrique. The beach is incredible and the kids loved using the boogie boards from the hotel and exploring the tide pools at the end of the beach. Highly recommend this hotel and the bunk room was great for our family with 3 kids. Also highly recommend booking tours with Minor Gonzales- Major Tours. I organized things with him before the trip and the tours were exceptional. Especially the Rio Celeste trip- it was wonderful and we got to see so much! Definitely the highlight of the trip!! We also booked a boat trip through the hotel and it was a really nice day- we got to see a lot of dolphins!

Not only is this resort stunning, the customer service is amazing! From the front desk, wait staff, housekeeping, they were all polite and so fun! We visited every restaurant and the food is excellent everywhere, but the Italian dinner experience at CAPRICCIOS with Jaime, Fiona and Carlos is top notch! So good that we had dinner there THREE times!! Each time the entire team remembered us, and made each experience better and better. On our final night, they even personalized our dessert with the popular saying "Pura Vida"- exceptional!! We opted to upgrade to the family bunk bed junior suite and if you're traveling with children, young or teenagers especially- it's worth it! The beach is quite possibly one of the best beaches our family has visited. It's clean, no seaweed, great surf and the sunsets, oh the sunsets are amazing!! We opted to use the on site photographer through Ohana Photo Shop and yet again, another great experience! If you're considering this resort, go for it, it's worth it!! …

SAVE YOUR MONEY! RUN ! The food is super expensive and is not worth it. The rooms are not properly maintained. The bathrooms are sticky and smelly. The service is unfriendly. The music is loud and karaoke singers barely can 🎤 sing. The beach doesn’t not have lounge chairs and is dirty. If you are a smoker u are not allowed anywhere on the property. We paid a lot of money to be dissatisfied. There are 🦎 iguanas, 🦝 raccoons and dogs wandering around. The restaurants around this resort are overpriced and you do not have many choices. I definitely DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.

This hotel was not for us and did not live up to expectations. It very much has a 'holiday resort' feel, with loud music around the pool (think Johnny Cash), happy hour drinks and cheesey slogans. We felt we could have been anywhere. The room was nice and clean, pool was also clean though communal areas are in need of general attention. Facilities like the gym and family centre are good for families. The breakfast buffet was very limited and hot food was in fact cold. Lunch from the restaurant was good but plagued by flies and service was poor. We chose to leave early.

The beds are comfortable. The location is good and the staff is very helpful the first time I was there if there was a lot of noise with the door slamming shut but the second time it didn't seem so bad I would say for the price they're not bad the location is incredible. Beautiful beach.
