Margaritaville Beach Resort - Nassau

Our second stay in a Margaritaville hotel (Nashville previously) - relaxed atmosphere, great for families. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Only negative is the downstairs bar closed too early (one evening we returned well before 10pm and already closed) leaving only the roof top bar which doesn’t allow children in. Not that the family are heavy drinkers, just wanted a nightcap to round off the day. ||Our departure day we couldn’t get a late checkout - had 9:30pm flight. Hotel had been very under occupied all week. A facility to be able to shower and change, if not a late room checkout would be nice, especially as we had a 23month old toddler and a 7 month expectant mum in the family. Receptionist who told me they had ‘full occupancy’ for that day should realise it was a simple thing for me to check online to see they had plenty of rooms to book that day. The only criticism of an otherwise lovely week. ||Otherwise it’s a very nice place to stay - right on the beach. Great pool for children with lazy river. Easy stroll to local shops. And fascinating to watch the huge cruise liners turn, as if on a turntable, in the narrow channel to the docks which are close by - but don’t be alarmed they are very quiet and just add to the interesting view morning and evening.

Great location for this resort. This is not an all-inclusive property and so the prices for meals and drinks are pretty high. Only 1 main restaurant on property with limited menu. Beach and poolside food places are available. Staff could be more attentive and a bit more quick at food delivery. |Bowling alley (4 lanes), gaming and movie theater across the street. |Large rooftop bar (independent of the hotel) has a great view, nice atmosphere and good drinks (pricey) but no food!!|Near to where cruise ships come in (5-6 daily) so many additional travelers with day passes to use beach and pool amenities. The beach is only about 50ft so pretty tight on space. The beach in front of One Particular/British Colonial properties (next door) is much larger and you can use it! All beaches are technically public in the Bahamas. Rooms are nice and spacious - bathrooms are nicely set up - and the towels are GREAT!

I would like to send a big shout out to Lakeisha that waited on us while we used the beach lounges on the beach reserved for Margaritaville guests. She was very friendly and attentive. Lakeisha made sure we had food and drinks, and returned to make sure we didn't need anything. She even took pictures and recorded a video for us while we were celebrating my mother's 63rd birthday! Lakeisha is top notch and even made sure we safely got into a cab headed back to our cruise ship. Request Lakeisha next time you stay at Margaritaville or visit the beach, you will NOT be disappointed! (Lakeisha is pictured in the blue Margaritaville uniform)

We vacation as a family with a three-year-old and a five-year-old, this was a great place! When you stay there, the waterpark is a part of your stay. While the cruise ships are import, the waterpark and beaches are very busy, but as soon as they leave, you have the place to yourself. The beaches were kid, friendly, and food and drink are readily available for adults and kids. I recommend the higher floors for a better view from the hotel and the same for the rooms on the resident side. We experienced both because of a room issue in the hotel and we’re upgraded. The views were better from the hotel on the eighth floor than the fourth floor at the residence, but the residence was a much better room so we enjoyed both either way. The location has restaurants close by but also a short walk away is the local fish market with lots of restaurants that locals eat at… Not as clean, etc. but a lot cheaper and still very good food. The waterpark is not very big but for younger kids it’s fantastic… I wouldn’t recommend to stay longer in three or four days because you will run out of things to do unless you’re a beach person and hanging out on the beach every day in the same place is your thing.

Location is great honestly you could walk to almost everything needed. Service is good as far as staff everyone is super friendly and nice, they really do go above and beyond for you. Mybfridge didn’t work for three of the five days I was there, room had a moldy smell, I’m assuming just from lack of vents in the restrooms where the shower is and the amount of ppl who used the room from coming in and being wet from beach/pool there’s carpet there. Food on the premises isn’t good at all very overpriced and tip already included makes everything way over priced. I would say the daily fees of $100 per person is unnecessary if ur not gonna use the fins up watermark which we didn’t ever use it. They also charge ur card $800 when u check in which I didn’t see it state that anywhere on the website. So pretty much u pay what u pay when u book it online plus the extra $1000+ fees due at check in. They say you get it back but end up charging it all to ur card after u leave. Personally not worth it, u can stay at a hotel for cheaper you don’t need the restaurants and water park. I will give it a 6/10 if I had to rate it! I’d like to say again the staff is top tier every single one of them! We only had one bad experience with Frank and Lola’s staff two ladies and one gentleman were super rude. Very unlike everyone else at the resort.

Margaritaville was a beautiful resort with a fantastic ocean view from our room. The location was convenient for walking around, and everything was clean and well-maintained. Unfortunately, the dining experience didn’t live up to expectations — the food was overpriced and didn’t match the quality you’d expect for the cost. Service across much of the resort was also inconsistent, which took away from what could have been an exceptional stay.

The hotel room is spectacular! The view is breathtaking! Frank and Lola’s Pizzeria was a highlight. We celebrated my nephew birthday. Lathario made our experience second to none! Ask for him; he’s friendly; attentive.

If you have kids between ages 5-10 and like hotdogs this is the place for you. If you’re looking for a more upscale experience for adults - I would not recommend. This is a “waterpark” with a hotel. Music playing all hours of the day made it fun, not relaxing. Additionally, they were not accommodating at all when our flights were delayed two days due to tropical storm. After confirming they would hold our reservation until we could get there two days late. They indeed did not hold our rooms. Also we were not offered the complimentary beverage on arrival that is stated on their website. There was also construction happening a few rooms down from us that made it impossible to take a nap during the day. (if you have young children you understand how important this is) One of the sinks in the room did not work Water condensation from the air vent was dripping Into the room making the tile floors wet. RECAP: Do go if you - enjoy watching cruise ships arrive and depart - Have children that enjoy slides and swimming - Enjoy pool side style food Do not go if you: - want to relax - Have nice accommodations - Enjoy nice dinners
