Margaritaville Beach Resort Ambergris Caye

Food was great, grounds were super clean and up to date, staff was absolutely amazing. Great view of the clear blue ocean and nice and private! Very easy access to any fun recreational options! Made everything very easy! They even have on sight babysitters!

What a great vacation. Could not have been better. Roms are big and clean. Food was excellent. The staff could not have been nicer. They would out of there way to address any needs we had . my 4 young children had a wonderful time. Ir is really a tropical paradise. Will definitely be back.

My girlfriend and I randomly planned a last minute trip to Belize based on how the the photos of this hotel appeared online :-) For starters, getting to Ambergris Caye wasn’t the most convinient BUT the sunrises and sunsets were worth seeing. After landing in Belize City, you have to take a small plane or boat to then take a shuttle (taxi or water taxi) which is provided by the resort. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Upon arrival to Belize City we were greeted by Pedro who guided us throughout our stay. There are only two times for pick up and drop off at Margaritaville which is 7am and 5pm. A little inconvenient when planning the day and needed to do everything from Belize City. When we got to the hotel, we were greeted by Management, Sean and Ken. Definitely bring bug spray, the mosquitoes at night are wild. Faura and Jose were great and very helpful when inquiring about excursions and booking things to do. Jhosue and Leo were very sweet and we enjoying their services while dining at the restaurant. Allan at the bar was a pleasure!!! We wanted to bring him back to NY with us! Jona, the security guard that walked the grounds at night was such a pleasure to get to know! The resort was nice! We went up in the lighthouse to watch the sunset and on our last night we had a nice dinner on the pier. Overall the resort itself was very pretty and maintained. We went during the off season so there weren’t many people on the island itself. We met really nice people along the way and definitely created great memories to share.

The staff were so attentive, friendly and helpful. They made you feel like family. The food was delicious and the waitstaff were great. 1 brought us a couple towels after we got rained on (sorry I can’t remember his name). Jose at the concierge desk made you feel like you’ve been friends forever and made sure everything was to your liking. Really all the staff were amazing. Grounds are clean, there are kayaks and bikes to use. Have nothing bad to say. They are on the very north end of the island, which makes it so nice and quiet. Will definitely try and go back!

Beautiful resort, but quite a trek to get to. Friends and I were staying at one of Caribe resorts it was over an hour very bumpy golf cart ride from our resort to Margaritaville. Roads are very unfinished and COMPLETELY littered with trash along the coast, and on the road which was very disappointing to see. Again the resort was beautiful, drinks were delicious and food was good, but plan accordingly for a very bumpy ride if you have an easily susceptible to injury back or motion sickness. Gift shop was very small and had very limited items with Margaritaville or jimmy Buffett specific things actually written on them. No shot glasses, only landshark beer shot glasses. A little bit of a let down for parrot heads wanting merchandise from the real deal.

This is an elevated and secluded resort for families or groups. As a family of 4 adults we rented a two bedroom, two bathroom villa with a kitchen, big dining table and comfortable living room. We decorated the shelving unit which held a large screen TV with Christmas decorations we brought from home. With the fire scene on the TV and stockings hung on either side along with lights, etc. we had a bit of home on a tropical Christmas. We did some cooking, ordered room service and enjoyed the restaurant. Christmas Eve we had an old fashioned Belizean meal with turkey, rice and beans, salad with local greens and a wonderful black fruitcake soaked in rum. There are lots of activities available including pickleball, kayaks, paddle boards and bicycles. You can rent a golf cart to explore the rainforest trails, take a sunset cruise to snorkel or paddle out on a kayak and snorkel on the nearby reef. The reef is thriving unlike many other barrier reefs. There are also two beautiful pools. There are 3 bars to enjoy including a swim up bar and one on the beach. All make great cocktails and drinks and play a mix of music. We danced to a DJ on Christmas Eve and witnessed a hermit crab race. Although the resort was booked to capacity it never felt crowded as many families spent time enjoying the beautiful villas. The privacy was very welcome to 4 big, city dwellers. The resort occupies an untouched stretch of beach and jungle, with no neighbors and is reached by a 25 minute speedboat boat or a taxi ride. We also spent time enjoying the facilities and met very nice guests. The Belizeans are friendly, warm hearted hosts. We will definitely return to Margaritaville for a family vacation.
