Margaritaville Resort Cape Cod

10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely loved the resort. Very kid friendly with lots of things for them to do. Nice little surprises like popsicles at the pool and Hawaiian leis at lunch. One thing they need to work on is letting people reserve 8 chairs around the pool for the whole day and have them never show up to use them while everyone else were fighting and waiting for chairs to open up. There should be a time limit and if they don’t come within an hour they should be released. We complained on deaf ears. Otherwise it was a great place to stay."
