Margaritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo

Margaritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful location, ocean front, rooms very clean. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The hotel general manager would walk around everyday treating all the guest he saw to make sure their stay was excellent and if he could answer questions you have. I would definitely return to this resort again in the future."
