Peaceful Vibe, Great Service — But Limited Entertainment and So-So Food
I recently stayed at Margaritaville Cancun and had a mixed experience. The staff were excellent—friendly, polite, and always helpful. The pools were clean, the drinks were well-made with popular brands, and the overall atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing. The spa and massages were also fantastic.
That said, the food was mediocre overall, with the seafood being the standout. Room service had limited, low-quality options. Despite being told to reserve the morning of, dinner reservations were always booked until 8:30 PM. Entertainment was lacking, aside from a nightly live band and one enjoyable beach BBQ with acrobat performers (the highlight of the week). Most activities required pricey excursions.
The beach itself was nearly unusable due to nonstop sargassum, which created a constant foul smell—even though staff worked hard to clean it.
If you’re looking to unwind by the pool with good drinks in a quiet environment, this could be the spot for you. But if you’re seeking great food, a lively atmosphere, or beach access, you may want to look elsewhere.
