  • 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. Choose your cut, the size and once weighed, let our chefs do their magic.

With two terraces overlooking the calm waters, it’s the ideal place to enjoy an Artesanal lager, brewed right on-site, or one of our succulent freshly-grilled specialties.

  • LICENSE TO CHILL, WET FEET BAR & BEACHSIDE GRILL
    “License to chill, and I believe I will” In a chilled atmosphere just steps from the pool and the Caribbean Sea, guests can enjoy the cool sea breeze, sip a freshly made cocktail and lunch on casual fare including a delicious selection of seaside salads, burgers and other tempting delicacies.

  • S.O.S. SWIM UP BAR (STRANDED ON A SAND BAR)
    Climb to the top of the island tonight, I want to count the stars. I feel like I’m stranded on a sand bar”. Walk over or simply swim from one of our swim-up rooms. Enjoy refreshing in-pool or poolside beverages throughout the day, with a wide selection of non-alcoholic and alcoholic options.
  • 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.

    Great Service!!!

    We had a wonderful stay at Margaritaville with outstanding service from start to finish! Gabino, Anthony, Noel, and Higinio took great care of us during the day and made our experience even more enjoyable. They were all fantastic! Rae at Frank & Lola’s was wonderful as well. Maria and Humberto at Salted Rim were great. They kept our drinks full and were fun to talk to. A special thank you to our butlers Karen and Isaac, who were so kind, helpful, and attentive. They went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed and truly made us feel taken care of. The friendly staff made our stay extra special, and we’re grateful to everyone who helped make it such a great experience. We would absolutely recommend Margaritaville and hope to return!

    Hidden treasure

    Me and my partner had a wonderful time here. The hotel was very well presented and clean and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We had a swim up room which meant we were able to swim to the bar to order our drinks which was amazing. There was plenty of daytime entertainment and a show was on nearly every night(except sunday) Massage was lovely but a bit pricey at 159 dollars but it was definitely worth it. The only issue was no beach to sit on as the water was to high but we hired a car for 2 dats and drove round the island which was lovely. Food was delicious and extremely good quality. We will definitely be coming back.
