I had booked an all inclusive and when I arrived they said only breakfast was included. We paid the extra money for the all inclusive and some meals were not included or their most popular beer (Imperial Light). I felt as if it was falsely advertised as I booked an all inclusive and feel that I paid for it twice. No American beer. The property was average in upkeep and there isn't a lot to do around the resort. Our AC kept going out and this went on for 3 days with 93 degree weather. They put us in another room one night because they didn't have the tool to fix it until the next day. But hey, we made the best of it.

We loved Margaritaville Costa Rica! It is right on the Playa de Flamingo which is a wonderful beach. The staff, the food, the drinks, the location & the sunsets where fabulous. We would only ask that who ever is in charge of the "pool music," please include some Jimmy Buffett songs. We where there for over two weeks and did not hear one Jimmy Buffett song over the stereo. (Fortunately, we brought our own music and small boom box.) We would definitely go back... hopefully soon. Pura Vida y tuanis mae!

Perfect small resort

I am so glad we decided to cxl our stay at the Westin and go with Margaritaville Beach Resort. Outstanding staff and service. Good food and drinks. We did All Inclusive which was a good choice for us. Amazing views from the hotel and beach. You can walk to the Playa Flamingo Marina as well. Love the pool area. Was concerned there could be too many kids in the pool area, but that was not the case during our stay. There are many things to do near the resort. I highly recommend Kayak fishing, although its best to go very early in the morning during the windy season.

We were there for 2 weeks beginning mid January 2025. Weather was hot and sunny every day. Gorgeous beach. Good live music. Only negative was the canned music, not enough Costa Rican music, way too much country music.

Do not expect an all inclusive resort, many food items and all beer except Imperial are an extra cost, 1 restaurant requires a reservation even with many seats open. Drinks are low quality and a little bland. The employees do not seem to follow the rules of the resort on a consistent basis making it somewhat confusing, be prepared to spend money on canopies and chairs at the beach or get up early to save chairs. We had a better time off of the resort. Most employees were good but as in some places some seemed to not want to be there. Would definitely stay somewhere different if we decided to come back.
