A great place, wonderful workers, well...the wait staff could use a little more friendliness like the rest of the staff! Great view! Would definitely go back and make sure to ask to be on the Gulf side! If you call for reservations and have either AAA or AARP, you get a 10% discount, every little bit helps. Loved walking on...

We just left a Staybridge Inn in Jacksonville, Fla. and stayed here at Margaritaville. What a disappointment. Staybridge was a lot nicer and way way cheaper. Margaritaville is highly overrated. The view is Beautiful but that is it. The rooms are nothing special and the bed was so so uncomfortable. When we walked out on the balcony you could smell... More

Nice hotel with great service. The rooms either face toward the ocean or bay inlet. The rooms were large and very nice. Got two drink tickets for a landshark beer in our room when we checked in. Only complaint I have is room 215 balcony has an obstructed view of the water. Would ask for a higher room.

My husband & I stayed here for our anniversary and enjoyed our view out of our hotel room. The beach and water was beautiful but alas the weather was not-very rainy, stormy and cold. We were able to walk the beach one time during our quick stay. The food at Frank & Lola's restaurant was good (we had breakfast &... More

I found this place online while trying to decide where to stay in FL. This hotel is "off the beaten path" and away from all the crowds. Its also right on the beach! You can walk to nearby restaurants, shops and the pier. We opted for the gulf view room with balcony on an upper floor, worth the extra money.... More

We recently stayed at this hotel for 5 nights while on vacation in Pensacola Beach and we were not disappointed. The hotel is exceptionally clean, rooms are very comfortable and the service is top notch. It sits right on the beach and we had a gulf view room with a private balcony (all gulf rooms have this). The views were... More

I stayed here during the height of Spring Break season when the hotel was almost at 100% occupancy. Nonetheless, it didn't feel overcrowded and noise was never a problem. The reason for my stay was not a pleasant one (I had a fight with my husband and he kicked me out of our house) but I was still very impressed... More

The toughest decision one needs to make at this hotel is which way do they want to face when sitting at the pool - a view of the ocean or a view of the bay. Both were excellent! The hotel is extremely well cared for with a nice cottage style. Soothing colors, crown moulding and tiled floors. Bed and linens... More

I've set the bar high by giving this place 5 stars, it's not something I do easily because very, very few places earn this from me. Not that I'm picky, but places that already bill themselves as BEING 5 star have disqualified themselves. Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville Beach Resort is, without question, one of the finest American hotels. From their commitment... More
