We had a wonderful time at Margaritaville Resort, thanks to the pleasant staff and beautiful lakeside views. The room was comfortable and spacious, perfect for our family, although there were some hiccups with dining options that could use improvement. The nearby waterpark was a fun addition, but not ideal during the off-season. Overall, it was a positive experience with some elements that could be enhanced.

We had a pleasant family reunion at this resort, primarily due to its central location and the accommodating staff. The condos we stayed in were nice, though a bit dated, and right next to the lake. However, navigating the property was sometimes challenging due to stairs and uneven paths, especially at night. Overall, it was a fun experience with plenty of activities for all ages, but some improvements can be made in terms of facility upkeep.
