Margaritaville Resort Orlando

I love it here so much, they do need to tend to the grounds a little more. I’ll say this. I’m giving it 4 stars because I was here when it used to be 5 stars! They definitely cut down and you can tell where they’re not putting money into things. The lights outside used to be a bunch of different colors, on all the palm trees, and you’d drive up to the entrance and immediately be like “WOW!!!” With that being said, it always smells good (they spray stuff throughout the hotel and it’s YUMMY to my nose). Their restaurants are great. The vibe is definitely there. The pool area is nice. (Again, just being honest it could use less talking into the mic and more music.) the pool is pretty straight cut, there’s no fountains or anything, it’s just a big pool space. The bar there is fun and their food is good (get the chicken tenders!) I’ve come back here many many MANY times.

Small incident with the fire alarms going off several times in the middle of the night and was on all night in a separate building. Had to exit the building once. The valet was hard to get because of the quantity of cars 1 person had to park. Opted to self park. Check in went very smooth and was very polite. Had breakfast the following morning with Julian as our server with good food and great service. Enjoyed all the amenities and the pools. Had lunch and drinks in the oasis club and enjoyed live music in the fins up beach club. Very enjoyable and relaxing experiences will recommend. Property and facilities were clean and in good shape.

⸻ First, I would like to thank Expedia for my VIP status — I truly appreciate this benefit. I had a good stay at this hotel: I really liked the room, even though it wasn’t facing the main area. The hotel is good, the service is good, it’s clean, organized, and the staff treats guests very well. However, for a resort, I feel that some things were missing. There is no room service, and the hotel’s breakfast is expensive and not good in quality. I also need to make a complaint regarding the hotel’s concierge. When I checked in, I was advised to purchase my park tickets through the concierge. The lady at the concierge insisted that I should buy tickets for two days, which made me extend my stay by one extra night — meaning I paid an additional night at the hotel. The issue is that she did NOT inform me that Magic Kingdom would close at 6 PM due to a special Christmas event. I had no idea. As a result, I spent $775 on tickets and was not able to use the second day, because I had planned to visit Magic Kingdom on that day, and I couldn’t enjoy the park as intended. I was extremely upset with this situation. The hotel was kind in some aspects, but they told me they couldn’t do anything regarding the concierge. However, when you allow a company to operate inside your hotel and sell services to your guests, you also share responsibility for what is being sold and for the information that is — or is not — provided. Be careful buying tickets from this hotel’s concierge. They sell timeshare tickets, and if there’s a problem, Disney can’t help you at all. I had this issue myself, and the hotel took no responsibility. I spent a lot of money: I extended my stay, I paid for two park days at a very high price, and still I couldn’t use the second day. This left me very frustrated and disappointed.

I am absolutely in love with this resort. I came here for a solo vacation and to attend a work conference (which is actually at another hotel) and everything has been absolutely amazing. The people at the front desk (David in particular) have been fantastic. They really go out of their way to make your stay great. The cabanas are amazing, and the waitresses around the pool are very attentive. The rooms however are really the icing on the cake, they are just perfect. Yes they show a tiny bit of wear and tear, but it is so minor, and absolutely not impacting my stay. Otherwise the balcony with the views of the pool and the lake behind are just picturesque. Will I become back, yes I will.

I stayed at the Margaritaville Resort in Orlando this weekend, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. The staff were warm, friendly, and genuinely helpful, which made the stay even more enjoyable. The cottages were everything I hoped for and more, beautifully designed, spacious, quiet, and extremely well maintained. It really felt like a home away from home, but with all the perks of a resort. The amenities were fantastic: the pools were relaxing and fun, the live music created such a great atmosphere in the evenings, and the spa was a perfect place to unwind. Everything about the resort was top-notch. I want to give special recognition to Brian McNeil, who went above and beyond to make my stay outstanding. He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and helpful every step of the way. Employees like Brian truly make a difference, and he deserves a huge thank you. I would absolutely return to Margaritaville Resort in Orlando. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing, fun, and welcoming getaway in Orlando. Great location too. Close to the parks and all the cool stuff!
