Fodor's Expert Review Margaritaville Beach Resort

W. Bay St., Nassau, New Providence Island, Bahamas Fodor's Choice

The newest resort addition to the downtown Nassau scene pays homage to the late Jimmy Buffett, the legendary musician whose song "Margaritaville" lent itself to the resort brand. Expect imagery of parrots, palm trees, and flip-flops at every turn, including the larger-than-life flip-flop statue in the spacious and airy lobby. Most guests will stay in Margaritaville, but those opting for premium suites or longer-term stays can enjoy the more exclusive and slightly more upscale One Particular Harbour residential property right next door. Regardless of which property you choose, every room guarantees sweeping ocean views. Even the elevators and the spa treatment rooms come with full ocean views. Those staying in the residences have access to an exclusive pool and hot tub and fitness center, but all guests can enjoy the other amenities, including the Fins Up water park, the beach, and a variety of restaurants and bars.

PROS

  • sweeping ocean views in every room
  • 4th floor infinity pool overlooking Nassau Harbour
  • right in downtown historic Nassau

CONS

  • shared beach with public access
  • busy area
  • not a lot of space to spread out in pool area
