Fodor's Expert Review Margaritaville Beach Resort

Inspired by legendary singer Jimmy Buffett's lifelong search for paradise, this tropical resort is at once accessible and upscale, with an attention to detail that sets it apart from many of its neighbors. It's a utopia for families, thanks to the FlowRider Double surfing simulator, waterslide, and beach activities. But the adults-only poolscape on the roof provides a respite from all parental responsibilities. The bright, airy, and tropical decor evokes a Key West feel, and the entertainment options showcase local talent across the property's hip venues.
