It had its moments.
Brian Z on Apr 26, 2025
I really want to like this place. The pools are great. Very clean. The rooms were clean. AC worked great. The people are nice. Jimmy Buffett is one of my favorites. RIP buddy. But it is under staffed. I ca...n’t help but think the mandatory 20% tip included has something to do with it. I believe in tipping service personnel and I believe in tipping generously. But when you remove that decision from the customer then it just becomes a tax. Also, I believe that you are taxed on top of the gratuity…adding tax to tax. The waitress at Euphoria was overwhelmed by the number of tables she had. Wine glasses were sticky and heavily water spotted and no one offered to get clean ones when we brought it up. Not even the separate server who came out just to open the wine. Although she didn’t help with anything else. Half of the deserts and one appetizer never made it. As in they weren’t late but rather they never came out. The prime rib special and most expensive meal came out late and cold. I don’t even blame the waitress. She was very nice. One of our rooms didn’t get cleaned or even new towels the first two days even after repeatedly asking. It had ants in the bathroom that no one came to help with even after asking for three days straight. When your ex wife calls you to ask what to do about ants in her room you know she’s exhausted all other resources for help. Mid week with nearly no visitors in the place I asked to check out one hour later at noon and was told no because it was too busy. Strange because no one seemed to be in the lobby or at the pools. Conference rooms were empty too. But I was approached for their time share several times. It’s the first desk as you walk in the place. They don’t let you miss it. Something else that seems off is that nearly all the close parking spots seemed to be employees. They don’t have their own lot? The closest spots are reserved for 35$ a day valet parking. After that it’s a walk up hill and up stairs to get from a parking lot to the front. In the flattest State I know of down south they managed to put the lobby up an incline that is difficult for anyone on heart meds to climb in the heat from two parking lots away. Good thing there aren’t any old people in Florida on vacation with their grandkids. No one is in the gym to monitor it. There were several little kids with their parents that ran and I do mean ran all over the place wildly. I’d say the youngest was about 7 then maybe 10 or 11 for a few more. I have no problem with kids in the gym but they left everything out, a mess, did not wipe down a thing. Stuff was everywhere. They ran and jumped from machine to machine like it was a cross fit competition. I was surprise they didn’t get hurt running and jumping up the stacked boxes next to the bench press. Seemed like a liability to me. The pool that has the kids water stuff at it was great and the big tiki bar was really good (food and drinks were great) but when you have to go get your own food and return your own trash and get up to get drinks yourself each and every time the 20% gratuity tax seems more than ridiculous. I mean seriously, no one brought us anything and that is totally okay but it’s hard to justify the 20% service charge when there is no service provided. All in all, I desperately want to love Margaritaville and it did have its moments but I don’t think I’d return. And anyone that values service on a vacation would certainly be disappointed.

Very dissapointed in our 5 night stay. I will start with the positives.. booked a 1 bedroom suite for a family of 5 and the room was great. Housekeeping did a great job and all requests for extra pillows a...nd bedding were met quickly. Food on premise was decent enough and a few employees are pretty good. Rob at the pool and Maria at the desk are helpful and assertive. The location is pretty good and sunset walk is a nice option for getting out for a walk and bite close by. Seems perfect enough but it falls short in other areas that limit this hotel to a 2 star rating. I came with my wife and kids for a Disney trip and usually we stay on property but decided to stay here as it looked like a nice vacation option and boasts shuttle service to and from the parks. The park shuttle which is a 3rd party shuttle is fine in the morning going but on the way home at night is nothing short of a disaster. A 20 minute ride takes over an hour with atleast 5-7 stops at other hotels. The bus ride was so sickening that kids were vomiting( not mine thankfully) and adults dry heaving while we all were stuck on this ride from hell. I feel the hotel should not boast about its convenience and shuttle service when it’s in fact not a dediicated service. They misrepresent that fact and because of that i booked this hotel. Then when you get back from the parks at 10pm the whole hotel is shut down. Not even a quick service burger or sandwich for the kids. Between these to factors i spend more on uber this trip then i did on room cost. Complete absurdity that i had to take the monorail to the grand floridian then uber from there because they had food. Not enjoyable to say the least! Lastly we checked in on Easter sunday. 2 rooms 4 adults and 3 kids. We had the early flight so we knew our room wouldn’t be ready so we changed and head to the pool to relax. On arrival to the towel hut on the right side we were told there were no towels and we needed to head to the other hut near the salty rim. It was fine because i rented some chairs in the sand so it was right there. Upon arrival i saw a man walking away with about 7-8 towels and said oh no i hope there is some towels left. The young man behind the counter looks at me and turns his back and grabs 2 towels and slaps them on the counter and gives me an eye roll. I then told him i hope you have more because i have 7 people in my group, he then turns gets 5 towels and says” thats not how you ask but here you go anyway” and rolls his eyes again. I said “excuse me” his response again was “ thats not how you ask” i told him how about greeting someone when they come over and ask them How many towels they need or how many people they are with and maybe say hello not just turn your back on someone as they are walking over. His response was “ whatever”.. I have to say as a business owner in the hospitality business in NYC if my employee acted like this to anyone he would be fired on the spot. This place lacks management and clearly shouldn’t be hiring what appeared to be a teenager to deal with adults. Safe to say i will never come back to this place and i reccomend you don’t either. The few bright spots cannot overcome the shortfalls! Oh i and i almost forgot for 3 days they kept telling us they were out of corona but the tiki bar had corona so my wife would walk and get it because the servers couldnnt work it out. Just unnacceptable
