This was our first time on St Thomas or at a Margaritaville resort .
It was beautiful!
The grounds and landscape is very clean- there are chickens, roosters, iguanas and cats everywhere- which we loved :)
Here’s some review suggestions I wish I had listened too! Learn from our mistakes:)
The resort itself basically shuts down at 10 pm, which I was surprised about- being that Margaritaville is all about having a good time . I get it though- the island is meant to be explored! There are so many amazing restaurants and beaches to see- don’t limit yourself to the resort.
1) pack a pool noddle, snorkel stuff, a collapsible cooler and tumblers!! I wish I had done this!
You can rent snorkel gear at every beach for a price $5-$20- but they are all scratched and fog up immediately- drinks and food are super expensive…EVERYWHERE!
After renting snorkels for a couple days we just bought 3 pairs at a local store - they all leaked immediately! We tried to tape them together and it didn’t work- of course you can’t return- $38 each for crappy snorkel gear and we couldn’t use any of them! Lesson learned.
2) Most places are cash only - taxis, bars etc.. whatever you thought would be sufficient for cash, triple it!
3) go to the grocery store and buy food-
The rooms were very clean - the bed was comfortable:)
