Everyone was friendly and helpful. The villa room we stayed in needs a refresh. Shower took forever to heat up, then was set at a temp you could not increase for a hotter shower. Should have amenities like shower caps and wash cloths without asking. Room lighting was dim. Coffee maker was basic, only pods even for tea. For a resort expected more resort style amenities in the room. ##### Matthew Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hyo-Sil Feb 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The check-in staff is extremely kind, and the room is clean and the view is very nice.

Villa scenery was beautiful with deer often walking by the patio. Personnel throughout the resort were friendly, knowledgeable and kind. Late October appears to be off-season with most activities and eateries closed. Only golf, pool, and 2 restaurants were open. Very few guests around/- almost like a ghost town. They say the resort is lively in summer. The furnishings could benefit from an update and the Margaritaville Shark’s Fin was soggy and salty (very low quality). Although desolate (e.g., less than 12 people), Margaritaville has a fun atmosphere and infrastructure. ##### D Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tiffiany Jun 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything about this property is beautiful!

We checked in for a night and to spend the day at the pool. The pool was very dirty. Maybe the filter wasn't working? Garbage, bugs, leaves, hair floating in the pool. Kids floating eating ice cream. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Jeeyoung Jul 11, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Friendly staff ##### Jeeyoung Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Motel 6 Gainesville, GA](https://www.expedia.ca/Gainesville-Hotels-Motel-6-Gainesville.h1040740.Hotel-Information) > - [Best Western Plus Richmond Hill Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Savannah-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Richmond-Hill-Inn.h1367198.Hotel-Information) > - [The Villas at Coosawattee River Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Blue-Ridge-Hotels-The-Villas-At-Coosawattee-River-Resort.h38741783.Hotel-Information) > - [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Savannah N - Port Wentworth by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Savannah-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Savannah-N-Port-Wentworth.h33543200.Hotel-Information) > - [Cozy 4BR Cabin in Ellijay • Pets Welcome • Hot Tub](https://www.expedia.ca/Ellijay-Hotels-Serene-And-Private-SettingHot-TubGames.h105702972.Hotel-Information) > - [Holiday Inn Resort Jekyll Island by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Brunswick-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Resort-Jekyll-Island.h19383.Hotel-Information) > - [Beach Paradise in Jekyll Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Brunswick-Hotels-Beach-Paradise-In-Jekyll-Island.h56230893.Hotel-Information) > - [Drury Plaza Hotel Valdosta](https://www.expedia.ca/Thomasville-Hotels-Drury-Inn-Suites-Valdosta.h5455897.Hotel-Information) > - [Bear Creek Lodge and Cabins in Helen Ga - Pet Friendly, River on Property, Walking Distance to downtown Helen](https://www.expedia.ca/Helen-Hotels-Bear-Creek-Lodge-And-Cabins-Helen-Ga.h24977475.Hotel-Information) > - [Baymont by Wyndham McDonough](https://www.expedia.ca/Griffin-Hotels-Baymont-By-Wyndham-McDonough.h1513.Hotel-Information) > - [International Homes At Quail Run](https://www.expedia.ca/International-Homes-At-Quail-RUn.h66454713.Hotel-Information) > - [Lake Oconee Lake Front Cabin+Private Dock+Fire Pit+Fireplace+AMAZING VIEWS!](https://www.expedia.ca/Eatonton-Hotels-Lake-Oconee-Lake-Front-CabinPrivate-DockViews-Views-Views.h90214152.Hotel-Information) > - [Cozy Cabin: 4 Acres + Nat'l Forest + Creek](https://www.expedia.ca/Ellijay-Hotels-Sunshine-Summit-4-AcresCreekTrails.h113130214.Hotel-Information) > - [Days Inn by Wyndham Elberton](https://www.expedia.ca/Hartwell-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Elberton.h6498.Hotel-Information) > - [Farmhouse in a Peaceful Paradise with Huge Hot tub](https://www.expedia.ca/Gainesville-Hotels-Farmhouse-In-A-Peaceful-Paradise-With-Huge-Hot-Tub.h61108023.Hotel-Information) > - [River Haus - Riverfront cabin on the Chattahoochee](https://www.expedia.ca/Helen-Hotels-River-Haus-Charming-Riverfront-Cabin-Right-On-The-Chattahoochee.h32992936.Hotel-Information) > - [Motel 6 McDonough, GA](https://www.expedia.ca/Griffin-Hotels-Motel-6-McDonough.h911192.Hotel-Information) > - [Samuel Elbert Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Hartwell-Hotels-Samuel-Elbert-Hotel.h19672351.Hotel-Information) > - [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Covington](https://www.expedia.ca/Covington-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Covington.h1562758.Hotel-Information) > - [Secluded Cabin | Sauna | Hot Tub | Pet Friendly | Game Room | Wrap Around Deck](https://www.expedia.ca/Helen-Hotels-Secluded-Cabin-2BR-3-BA-Sauna-Hot-Tub-Pool-Table-Wrap-Around-Deck.h28899329.Hotel-Information) > - [Red Roof Inn Atlanta - Suwanee/ Mall of Georgia](https://www.expedia.ca/Suwanee-Hotels-Red-Roof-Inn-Atlanta-SuwaneeMall-Of-Georgia.h10175.Hotel-Information) > - [Fairfield Inn & Suites Atlanta Stockbridge](https://www.expedia.ca/Griffin-Hotels-Fairfield-Inn-Suites-Atlanta-Stockbridge.h15858453.Hotel-Information) > - [Callaway Resort & Gardens](https://www.expedia.ca/LaGrange-Hotels-Callaway-Resort-Gardens.h37734.Hotel-Information) > - [Perfect Private Waterfront Getaway on Lake Lanier!](https://www.expedia.ca/Dawsonville-Hotels-Perfect-Private-Waterfront-Getaway-On-Lake-Lanier.h112737877.Hotel-Information) > - [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Perry-National Fairground Area #34 by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Perry-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Perry-National-Fairground-Area.h6438664.Hotel-Information) > - [Chateau Elan](https://www.expedia.ca/Braselton-Hotels-Chateau-Elan.h49872.Hotel-Information) > - [Golf View located in Valhalla Resort!
