Top El Ocotal Hotel Reviews

Margaritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo

Margaritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo

8/10 Good
"Guest services was great! They helped me plan a surprise for my friend and surprised us in return afterwards!!! Very sweet! A few things, the sundry store cannot be charged to the room, they only accept charge cards or cash. If you are anticipating charging to the room, do not. Instead of the bar allowing an open tab at the pool, they close it at every drink order. They do not go around to take orders when you are sitting at the pool for hours, you have to go to them. Not as guest friendly as you anticipated."
