Margaritaville Beach Resort, Nassau Bahamas

Nassau, Bahamas

Virgin rating

The hotel

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 5,000 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.

She was the absolute best bartender that i’ve ever had! she listened to exactly what i wanted and made it happen. I hate anything sweet but she made me a drink with everything possible in it and it still tasted amazing! I would search for her every day that we were at the resort because she was that good!

The food was also sooo good, we had the Blackened salmon, came with avocado rice and sweet plantains, an amazing combination!! Finished it with the chocolate cake with cherries and it was literally, the cherry on top. Honestly amazing food coupled with formidable service makes for a great ending of our mini vacation.

We stayed in the One Particular Harbour Building in an Ocean View Studio with a view which was absolutely stunning! The room was very spacious with a good-sized balcony, complete with kitchenette, stovetop, fridge, microwave, and washer/dryer. The room and building was very clean and all Staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. We are an older couple and loved the quiet vibe of this building...very relaxing. It also had a private pool area, small putting green, fire pit area and barbecue area just for this building. We could still go over to the Margaritaville Building and use their facilities, as well as the facilities of the neighbouring British Colonial hotel (I believe it is called). If you have children and want more action, then the Margaritaville building is probably for you instead, as it has the water park, beach, etc., but if you are looking for a more quiet stay...absolutely, choose the One Particular Harbour Building! It's also worth pointing out that there are lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance of both buildings. Read less

Superb service from Ian! The restaurant is clean and comfortable and a great setting for breakfast lunch or dinner. We had the chicken pasta and the burger which were both really good. Nice ambience and a lovely setting over looking the pool.

Great service and food. Ian was a great server and very attentive. I got a vacation burger and it was delicious. My girlfriend got the same and she was impressed as well. Overall I would definitely recommend this place and will be coming back soon.
