Margaritaville Island Reserve Riviera Maya - An Adults Only All Inclusive

I loved staying here! My taxi was $60. I was greeted with a margarita popsicle. The staff was very nice. The room was beautiful. It was new and very clean. There were delicious cookies sitting in my room. There was plenty of water in thee mini bar and it was restocked daily. They had a margarita shaker in the room, but no alcohol or margarita mix and you can not buy alcohol with your points at the store. It was no problem because I didn't need it. The food was delicious. They had the normal breakfast options. I had an outdoor BBQ lunch twice. It was so good! The Italian restaurant was booked my entire stay. So that was a bummer. The tacos at the bar were very tasty and drinks were decent. There was tons of pool space and it overlooked the ocean. The main pool is lively... more like a paty pool but they have quieter pools surrounding it. There were tons of cabanas and they assure that you don't use yor towel to reserve them all day. While the hotel sits on the beach, there is no sand and you can not swim at this beach. It didn't bother me because the view was beautiful! I took a catamaran to Isla Mujeres. DO NOT book the catamaran through the excursion people at the hotel. Cesar sold me a horrible catamaran with open bar, snorkeling, and beach access. The open bar had no alcohol. The boat had no music. The lunch was delicious. The beach access was a half a mile away. It was a waste of money!!! Go with Cancun Sailing catamaran instead. Pay through Expedia and its about $140.

Not overly crowded, great swim up bar and drinks, very clean and the staff is very friendly

The service was excellent. Very clean hotel. Rooms very nice & comfortable. Food was very good! We did not like the reservation system for the restaurants.
