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.

We stayed at the resort Thursday-Monday and from the second we walked on the beach, Lakeisha was amazing. Such an incredible spirit that goes out of her way to make sure the guest are having the best time possible.
She not only checks on you, but takes orders for food and drink, then makes sure the order is delivered. She makes sure to take pictures and videos of you on the trip to make sure you have memories when you leave! Lakeisha makes this resort an 11 out 10 for sure. She is single handedly the reason we will go back!
On a side note…. Make sure to tip your servers and beach attendants!!
Thank you Margaritaville and a special thank you to Lakeisha, we will be back for sure!!

Friendly customer service, very friendly, helpful, amazing food
Nov 11, 2024Sara L
This review is in regards to the Vacation Cafe: Ian is absolutely a blast, such a joyful spirit!!! He was a pleasure to have as a waiter. Ian set the bar high for the amazing experience I hope to have in the Bahamas. Cassandra was also very helpful and pleasant to answer questions we had about local experiences. Hands down amazing service.
Nice hotel but more family friendly
Nov 11, 2024ftomanlondon
Room was large and nicely appointed with a fridge, safe, large shower room and a great view from the balcony.
There were two ‘pool’ areas one of which is the water park and lazy river the other an adult only infinity pool and hot tub, neither was more than waist height so not really suitable for swimming.
Beach access is good and more peaceful…

Beach access is good and more peaceful than the main junkanoo beach but still pretty busy as the hotels sell day passes to cruise ship passengers.
Did no dine in hotel as found it expensive but not massively more than Bahamas seems to be on generally.
The downtown area shuts down about five as the cruise ship passengers go, dinner options are limited nearby other than Arawak cay and the fish fry restaurants

Best waiters ever
Nov 7, 2024Kelechi C
Ian and Fabian gave us the best experience ever! We felt really welcome and comfortable.
Ian made us a customised drink which was a hit and others were even asking for it. Fabian told us all the good spots to hit up in the Bahama’s. Also the food was 10/10. It wasn’t just coming to eat, we had the full Bahama’s hospitality experience.

Best cheeseburger in Paradise
Nov 5, 2024Curiosity318686
Ian was an amazing server friendly, helpful, professional and very attentive. The cheeseburgers that we had were top-notch cooked to perfection very flavorful and the sweet potato fries were awesome too. We truly got to experience having a cheeseburger in paradise like the Jimmy Buffett song. We will be back for our next trip.
Great resort with incredible staff - Lakeisha!
