Everyday is paradise when you wake up with views of the ocean through the floor to ceiling windows at the Margaritaville Beach Resort in the Bahamas. With over 5000 square miles of beaches, pools, and bars to explore, this is your ultimate destination within a destination. It’s perfect for families, with spacious suites to accommodate you all together, some even with full kitchens for those nights when you want to eat dinner alone on the balcony. The activities on offer are never ending, the water park being the pick of the bunch – and we know you’ll love the slides just as much as the little ones really! There’s also an entertainment centre to keep them occupied, with games, bowling and a movie theatre, so you can relax in the spa or grab a frozen margarita from the beachfront bar and watch the cruise ships coming in and out of Nassau. Make sure you grab a spot at the rooftop bar in time for the sunset, definitely an instagram-able moment.

Once you go to Bahamar, you would never want to go to Margaritaville. The beach is terrible and shared with 5000 cruise ship passengers. While they are at the public beach a stones throw next to you, they can and do buy day passes. We didn't even use the "water park". It is a total let down compared to Bahamar or Atlantis.

Once you go to Bahamar, you would never want to go to Margaritaville. The beach is terrible and shared with 5000 cruise ship passengers. While they are at the public beach a stones throw next to you, they can and do buy day passes. We didn't even use the "water park". It is a total let down compared to Bahamar or Atlantis. If you must go here, stay at the Margaritaville Residences. The condo rooms are epic. You share a "private" beach with the neighboring hotel....and the 1000 people who buy day passes from the 6 ships docked off shore. If you love cruise ships, you would LOVE this place. Also, downtown Nassau is nasty. While the food prices are certainly cheaper than Bahamar, the whole scene just sucks in comparison. Positives. Looks pretty when ships are gone...The staff were outstanding, that's for sure. Read less

The hamburger was absolutely delicious. The blackened pasta was too, and the service was exceptional. The first burger we had in paradise. Happiness spreads. Come, relax. You’re on vacation. Oh, and have a margarita too. Ask for a hand shaken, fresh lime, agave….and of course Margaritaville tequila.

Service from Ian was wonderful. The food was delicious and service was quick and pleasant. Restaurant is clean, quiet and well set up for a family meal. This review requires 200 min characters so I'm still typing to try and meet that quota. Thanks.
