Margaritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo

Margaritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo

8/10 Good
"The pool was a major win and we watched it being vacuumed every morning and continuously skimmed throughout the day with nets. The atmosphere is nice and it's just steps away from the beach. Rent a boogie board and spend a few hours playing in the waves. It's super fun! There are amenities for young children that we really didn't learn about before we went. They had an activity center for children and a fun game room. Check them out! For feedback, it would be great to have attendants take orders from around the pool area. It would just be a plus. Also, we got a bit tired of feeling like we were eating bar food. On the plus side, it helped us to leave the property and explore some local food options."
