"We always stay here even before they became Margaritaville. The location is perfect and the family suite is adequate for our family of 4. They are always busy, but I'm not sure if it's the crowds or if more staff should be hired on. Valet service is always kind and do as best as they can. Reception desk is mostly good/helpful but once in a very long while we will get someone who seems like they aren't having a good day and maybe shouldn't be greeting guests. One suggestion is maybe putting in vending machines for any late night or last minute items needed."
