8/10 Very Good! (2,299 reviews)
Arrived Jan 4, returned on the 9th. Originally booked Margaritaville because it would have JB and Island style music through the resort , however, there was no music at any of the bars (hilltop or main), or restaurant area until we were leaving late morning on the 9th. When asking staff on day one why there was no music, we were told ot was because the system needed to be fixed and wirinf was eroded "dur to thr chemicals coming from th red tide seaweed". This would coincide with the special seaweed that was flooding the coast of the resort as well and disnt exaxtly make the water there bearable to swim which was also unfortunate as the resort photographs advertise as though this beachfront is somewhat private and able to be swam in. There were only two live mysic acts and a karaoke act on thr Six StringStage during our stay.
--NOTE: Going to the restaraunt Sun and Sea, a walk from the resort, provided better food and plenty of music on thier speaker systema. Coki Beach, just past the resort, and Coral World, all had mysic and PA sound during this same time of year and all share the same waters.
What saved this trip here is, the rooms are phenomenal. The staff were super friendly. The guests are mature and always having conversation. Location was key due to the ability to walk to another restaurant, Coki Beach, and Coral world. Breakfast is well done.
No music while eating, drinking, swimming, conversing is unacceptable on resort.
