The Margaritaville Resort Lake Tahoe brings a slice of the tropics straight to the Sierra Nevada. Taking over the old Lake Tahoe Resort Hotel property in South Lake Tahoe, this spot has undergone a massive, colorful transformation. It trades traditional rustic cabin vibes for a vibrant, Jimmy Buffett-inspired "island attitude at a high latitude."  Here is a realistic look at what it is like to stay there, what hits the mark, and what to keep in mind. The Location: A Perfect 10/10 If location is your top priority, you cannot beat this property. Prime Spotting: It sits right on Lake Tahoe Boulevard in the heart of South Lake Tahoe.  Walkability: You are a mere 5-minute walk to the Heavenly Village Gondola and the shops, and less than a 5-minute walk to the Stateline casinos (Harrah's, Caesars, and Bally's).  The Lake: The actual lakeside is just about a 10-minute stroll away, making it incredibly convenient whether you are loading up for a day on the ski mountain, heading out for a summer hike, or grabbing dinner.  The Rooms: All-Suite Comfort One of the biggest selling points carried over from the property's previous life is the layout: it is an all-suite resort. The Setup: Instead of a cramped standard hotel room, you get a spacious two-room suite featuring a separate living area with a pull-out sofa, a second TV, a mini-fridge, and a coffee maker.  Having a spacious, spotlessly clean suite with plenty of extra linens makes a huge difference when you're traveling.
