  • JWB STEAKHOUSE
    Each aspect of a visit to JWB Steakhouse is designed to be much more than just a dining experience, it’s part visit to your small-town butcher and part theater. At JWB, guests are invited to step into the aging room where our restaurant team will gladly and carefully explain everything one needs to know about delicately aged cuts, of custom-raised northern Mexico and US beef as well as a selection of other artisanraised proteins.

  • SALTED RIM – MARGARITA BAR & LOUNGE
    Tequila, Margarita and “Salted Rims”….that’s what it’s all about. Salted Rim is a celebration of the agave plant in Mexico, which after distillation transforms itself into not only the most known Mexican beverage, tequila, but also the lesser-known Bacanora and increasingly popular Mezcal. They are all unique in their production and history.
    Located in the main lobby overlooking the property, guests can revel in Caribbean elegance with the finest lounge service, authentic and extensive selection of tequilas, mezcals and bacanoras, to create their favorite Margarita, blended, frozen, shaken, as well as other more adventurous creations. A menu is available, although our mixologists are ready to display their innovative bartending skills and prepare new and exciting concoctions.
  • THE BOATHOUSE
    The Boathouse takes all-day dining to new heights with inventive culinary creations and an international food display with a wide variety of dishes cooked or baked to order, all to be enjoyed in an upscale yet casual atmosphere.

    It exceeded all my expectations

    This hotel exceeded ALL my expectations! I was not expecting this honestly, Very clean, everything looked new, the food was delicious and great variety, it has a little bit of everything, clam and relaxing activities if you want to chill, but music and fun if you want to party, But the service and attention would be my favorite thing above all. Specially thanks to Entretainers Angel and Maribel , and waiters Armando, Carlos, Marcelo, Jessiel and bartender Moises and Ivan. Im recommending this to all my friends and family.

    Incredible All Inclusive Stay!

    I cannot speak highly enough of this hotel! From the minute we walked in, we were greeted warmly (with delicious margarita popsicles) and taken care of by each member of staff. What I loved was the effort staff put into getting to know us so they could personalise the stay for us. The food was delicious, and this truly felt like a step beyond all inclusive. I know some people complain there is no beach, but we genuinely didn't notice this. The pools are fantastic, the activities put on every day are a blast, and the bartenders are amazing. My only complaint is that I wish there were more drink options in Joe Merchant to personalise our in-room mini bars, but since all bar drinks were included in the stay this wasn't really a problem anyway! Thank you Margaritaville, for a lush week. :)

    5 stars all round!!!

    Had an amazing time here, staff were brilliant. some staff that made our week amazing were: Ismerai bartender on SOS swim up- made amazing drinks and was very friendly. Made the best mango smoothie!! Angelo entertainment team- great guy, very chatty and genuine. Made everyone’s day with his jokes and great energy. We did the cocktail class with him and Cristian bartender who were both great. Cristian was very informative and friendly. Maria bartender- made great drinks when we saw her everyday at the SOS swim up bar. always smiling. There were many other staff we met during our stay who were all kind, and would try and help you in any way. The rooms were very clean and tidy, housekeeping do a great job everyday. Plenty of places to eat, frank and Lola’s (Italian), JWB Steakhouse, landshark and 2 nights a week at the boathouse (buffet). For lunch we ate at the license to chill bar. Keep in mind that for frank and Lola’s and JWB steakhouse you will need a reservation, but can go as many times as you like. Great evening entertainment. The dancers on Wednesday and Saturday were amazing!! They are all absolute professionals at their job. Loved all their costumes and performances while eating tea! Definitely worth staying here and would come again!! Thank you Margaritaville for an amazing week!
