Margaritaville Beach Resort Ambergris Caye - Belize

San Pedro

We had room 812 and even tho it’s a new resort, I don’t know if it was inspected because our bathroom had absolutely not one electrical outlet. We cannot do our hair, use electric razor, plug in makeup mirror, nothing. And it’s not like we couldn’t find it, my fiancé is an electrician. He thinks they drywalled over it. I had to use a plug in bedroom but it wasn’t near a mirror so had to use my hand held mirror to do hair. The sand bugs were absolutely horrible. I have about 50 bites on my legs & same with other guests. They need to spray. I did not know they charge a daily resort fee per person on top of price & many things were extra. For ex, you have to pay $75 to use the bbq if you wanted to cook yourself. There is just a fridge in room, no kitchens to make your own food like other resorts on island. The Pickleball court is included in the resort fee, but they wanted to charge you to use the paddles and balls. Very remote & far from town. So not being able to make some meals in room was very inconvenient. You don’t have another option to eat but in their restaurant.

The property was great, the staff, service and food was exceptional. Pool area and drinks were great as well. However, property location is super inconvenient if you're planning on doing more than just stay at the resort because you will be 1-2 hours way from the downtown of San Pedro.When we landed to San Pedro's Airport around noon, two staff members received us there and drove us on a golf car (wich is one of the island main transportation) to their office (that was 2-3 minutes drive). They offer a shuttle boat to the resort but it doesn't leave until 5:00pm which means you will not get to the resort until around 5:30pm - 6:00pm unless you pay for a taxi that cost " $100usd pp" cash.After you're at the resort you can stay there and relax, and enjoy the quietness. According to the staff to enjoy the beach, the best time to go is December and January because of the Sargassum. For me, I didn't like the moody feel of the sand at the beach resort. The resort only offers two shuttle on at 7am from the resort to the downtown and back a 5pm. We rented a golf cart for 1 day to go to Secret Beach without depending on the boat. For the golf cart you, front desk will help you requesting one, FYI the will call for one and someone will bring it from downtown to drop it off at the resort, plan ahead to have it by the morning or at least 1.5hr before the time you need it because is not grab and go. The cost for the golf cart was $55usd for the day plus $30usd for the dropoff.

Everything was perfect, 20 out of 10, wish my trip was longer

Just perfect

This resort has been such a great place to retreat away from city night life in San Pedro. We were able to relax our days there and enjoy activities provided at the same time. We went kayaking, bicycling, star gazing, karaoke, crab race, beach swimming and pool swimming in both pool locations. I was also able to do my nails in the spa which was nice and lovely. There were massages provided but I didn’t get the chance to enjoy that. I will next time for sure! The chefs were super welcoming and nice. They introduced themselves to our family and the food was super incredible! The staff were all super sweet and helpful. The suites were super clean, comfortable and relaxing. We will definitely be coming back for another getaway! Thank you Margaritaville for a great time during our stay.

Great poolFor kids, nice and clean resort friendly staff.

I like how all of the staff were accommodating. Kevin, Reiner, Deondre, and Salvador made my entire experience better than I expected. The facilities were very clean and the resort was a nice/quiet getaway. I felt very safe and able to enjoy my relaxing vacation. I do wish there were more dining options on the property but the choices they did provide were great.

As a Belizean-American who had not been to Belize in almost 20 years, I am very pleased to say I enjoyed my stay at Margaritaville Beach Resort Ambergris Caye. The staff was very warm and welcoming. This was my first time visiting San Pedro and I was here to celebrate my birthday. There weren't many authentic Belizean dishes on the menu but the chef accommodated me and made me a custom Belizean breakfast and a delicious birthday dinner. A drawback was the extensive amount of mosquitos; I could not step out the room without being bitten within seconds. There weren't other dining options around the resort because it is very secluded from the rest of San Pedro. Overall, beautiful property and I would definitely stay again with family.

This is Margaritaville location is located in what appears to be an isolated area of the island. Once you arrive to the island, you must take a water shuttle or taxi (that cost $100 in US cash) to get to the resort.At the time of my booking, I was not notified of these things. Once I arrived to the island, I was greeted by two Margaritaville staff members who walked me to their reservation center, which was a very short walk. Once there they did a check in process, and after told me that I had to wait until 5 PM to get the water shuttle. They advised that I could tour the island or go and get lunch because it was 1:00 PM. I have been traveling all day to get to Belize and I was not interested in anything but a nap they offered to help me rent a golf cart for $55 in US cash but I declined as I would not know how to drive to the resort , in the end, they split the rate for the taxi for me to get to the resort because I did not want to wait for the shuttle that was coming 4 hours later. I was told that this was their off-season, and that the shuttle left the resort at 7 AM in the morning coming to the main island and returned to the resort at 5 PM. Not many options to get off of the resort.  The staff, however, were very friendly and accommodating, the best they could be. My room was changed from a 2 bdrm Oceanview to a 1 bdrm resort view, because of ants. This would not have been a problem. I am still waiting for a refund weeks later from the rate difference.

The awesome:  great ocean view for relaxationThe good:  most of the staff are awesome, friendly, cordial, helpful, nice, welcomingThe not so good:  resort is very remote. While you can take a cab or golf cart to town or the beach, the only realistic method of accessing the resort is by boat. If there are no guests arriving or departing, the boat doesn’t run and you’re stuck at the resortThere are basically no activities. All excursions run out of San Pedro, about 15 miles away.  On site, there is a volleyball net across the parking lot, jenga, cornhole, kayaks and a pool. Technically, there are two pools, but the second was green…The bad:  the smell is horrible. The staff will tell you it’s the seaweed; however, the seaweed washes up on the entire island. All beach properties remove the seaweed, but only at Margaritaville does it smell bad. Sargassum can develop a “sulfur” smell, but Margaritaville smells like raw sewage. I think the smell comes from their sewer/septic systemThe inexcusable:  upon check-in, they ask for a credit card for “incidentals”, and that’s reasonable. However, tacking on $100/day for “resort fee” is reprehensible

The extremely friendly, informative, and helpful staff. The rooms (condo that could easily sleep 5 if need be) were always cleaned every morning.  It is very remote on the Island off the coast of Belize called San Pedro. It can take 1 hr by golf cart or slow car to get 14 miles from town to resort. One restaurant and 2 bars there for now. Plans to expand the property in Spring 2024 will hopefully bring a paved road to Margaritaville! My kids loved it, and nearby attractions made having a golf cart for 3 days very useful. Free pick-up and drop off at the dock near the airport in San Pedro.  Being so isolated all the snorkeling and dive boats come to you on the large property dock.
