Loved our stay at Margaritaville! Staff were so helpful and friendly, we even received a room upgrade for our anniversary! Room was spacious, bright and clean with great decor. Loved the rooftop pool and both restaurants. Took advantage of the fun complimentary bikes to get around town. Highly recommend!
