Blackjack Fun with the Entertainment Crew
Angel and Mariel from the Entertainment Crew made blackjack so much fun. Angel wore beer goggle glasses that kept everyone laughing and Mariel with her red hair dealt fast and took plenty of my chips but still made it a great time. They spoke excellent English, let me practice Spanish, and even corrected my funny mistakes like calling myself Bonita instead of Guapo. Big laughs, great energy, and a highlight of the trip.

Honest review
If you want to go on an excursion, make sure that you go to the desk and ask for a guy called Giovanni . He is half the price of Tui trips

Wonderful experience, fantastic butlers
This was our second time staying at this property and our third at a Margaritaville. We chose this property again because of the adults only aspect, even though their beach was destroyed during a hurricane. Our first visit here last year (2024) was good and obviously good enough for us to return. The trip this year (2025) was exceptional! The best part of the experience were our butlers Isaac and Mariel. They both went above and beyond to make our stay as memorable and free of stress as possible. Before we arrived, they had already booked restaurant reservations in a thoughtful way and at our preferred dining time for us without us needing to request it. They surprised us with decorations and a bubble bath to celebrate my fiancé's birthday. Isaac even made a run to the pharmacy for us when we asked where the nearest one was and arranged for panna cotta from Frank & Lola's to be delivered to our room on our last night there because we loved it so much. We purchased a day pass to visit the other Margaritaville since it has a beach, but had an awful experience immediately after we got there. Isaac still helped us address the issues even though it was at the other property. My daughter and her girlfriend are going to the property a week after we leave and even though they don't qualify for butler service, Isaac and Mariel offered to "adopt" them. I can't praise them enough! In addition to Isaac and Mariel, we also received exceptional service from Charly (our pool butler) and Idania (our poolside server). Both ensured we were always comfortable and had a drink in hand, whether alcoholic or water to rehydrate in between. Idania also started recommending amazing cocktails since we got stuck on mango margaritas. She brought us passionfruit margaritas, classic palomas, pineapple palomas, and cranberry palomas. They were all amazing! The food was delicious in all of the restaurants, especially the fish tacos at both License to Chill and Landshark. There wasn't anything we ordered that we didn't enjoy, though we did enjoy some more than others. The shows at the Boathouse during the Mexican Fiesta and Caribbean nights can get really uncomfortably loud, so bring some earplugs or ask to sit further away if you're sensitive to loud music. They were fun to watch, but we couldn't stay the entire duration because of how loud it was. The other service that we discovered during this trip is that the front desk can make change for you in USD or convert to pesos if you need more cash/small bills for gratuity. We really can't recommend this property enough. The only downside was the lack of a beach, but that's not something they can help. We will definitely be back!
