Todd, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My stay was great, now I truly understand the term ‘pura vida”; thank you to Priscilla and Jose, Felix , and the many other workers and staff(too many to recall all the names), from the staff at its 5 o’clock somewhere to the banana wind restaurant as well as the Italian restaurant Capriccios Pizza Bistro & Cafe and of course the swim up bar License to chill, it was amazing. So much I can say the front desk, housekeeping always accommodating and understanding; to make me and my family stay pleasant definitely a place to go!!
Carmen L, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff was great, resort and rooms were very clean. Food was good. Only draw back was that it sits on a public beach and there were no resort chairs unless you carried them there from the towel area. The beach itself was good not rocky and fairly clear. Didn’t see much in the water though.
Craig Allan, 8-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing place! Best decision we made to book the Margaritaville and do the All-Inclusive package. Food was fantastic, drinks delicious, beach was perfect and pool with pool bar the best. Everyone there was very friendly, fun to have great conversations, helpful and on point. Special thanks to Rodolfo, Juan, Elias, Steicy, Sebastian and the security Edwin. Fun times!!!
Robert, 9-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff were very friendly, but the amenities are limited, the food is underwhelming, especially for the price. The hotel store is extremely expensive compared to local markets.
