    Awesome beach vibe hotel with the best staff!!
    Just book another trip to this amazing hotel. My husband and I love the Margaritaville island hotel. The rooms are extremely clean and the beach vibe makes you feel like your on a tropical vacation in the Caribbean islands. The staff are all so friendly and accommodating. Ronnie is top notch and is always willing to help you out with any need you may have. He always makes sure our stay is special. They have live music and a great pool to hang out with wonderful views and drinks. We would definitely recommend this hotel if you are going to be staying in the area. You will love it!!
    Thank you Amy for your awesome review! We appreciate your continuous loyalty and we look forward to your next visit with us! Fins up!

    Fun Resort & Beautiful Room
    From the moment you walk in you feel comfortable and Covid safety measures are in place everywhere in the lobby. The resort is very nicely laid out. We stayed in a river view suite room on floor two that overlooked the island bridge over top of the main entrance to the hotel lobby. We liked that you can walk outside the hotel and have several activities available. We went to the hotel bar each day and the service was great! Drinks were pricy but had good amounts of alcohol in them. The only negative of the stay was the mold on the ceilings in the corners of the shower. The room was so impeccable that it is almost unreal they would not spray a little bleach on the ceilings to kill the mold to give it a spotless feel. The rooms smelled of bleach / cleaners to disinfect surfaces but was not overpowering. You could definitely tell they took the time to sanitize well. We would stay here again. A great hotel choice in Pigeon Forge!
    Dear Archrn, Thank you so much for your review. We appreciate your feedback and will certainly address the shower issue. We are pleased to hear that you had a great time staying with us and look forward to your next visit! Fins up!

    Wonderful retreat!
    Had a great time at the Margaritaville island Hotel. The location was excellent and the rooms were spacious and the river view made us feel right in the mountains! We had trouble with the WiFi in our room but the staff went above and beyond to help us out and make up for whatever issues we were having. The roof top pool had a beautiful view and the place was cleaned and sanitized constantly during our stay, however, no one entered our rooms for housekeeping to minimize contact. Would definitely come back again!
    Dear shyema9, Thank you so much for your review. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and look forward to your next one! Fins up!

Hotel personnel were very accommodating. Food and drinks were good. Never go during Rod Run though. Location is perfect for anything you’re planning to do in Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg. We will be back.

No complaints with the hotel. The downside was parking. It was a long walk to regular free parking. Even getting turned in to the parking area was a major challenge given the crowd/traffic. Valet parking was pricey so that was not an option. The free parking lot had trucks w/trailers parked along the sides and it made for a challenge pulling in/out of parking spaces.

We LOVE it here! Our spacious room was DELIGHTFULLY clean. That is HUGE with me. Staff was wonderful, without exception! I did not have to stress/battle to have the "package credits" applied to our account at checkout (as I did last yr.) Staff were ON it! Caveats for management consideration: (I mean these notations to be helpful, not critical) :) The pool has "black" discoloration inside - along inside corners & some areas of bottom (mold?) The filtration may not be not strong enough as there was always a layer of oils, some skin cells etc (& insects which cannot be prevented in hot weather.) However the pool deck was clean & nicely laid out & towels were plentiful. ROOM: Gratefully clean, but note paint is starting to peel/wear in areas including bathroom, & several moldings & wall areas are scuffed. Is there a way housekeeping can deliver daily toiletries to those of us who aren't using the service? I hated having to call daily. P.S. Jimmy Buffet passed 3 days before we arrived but oddly, they did not play his music exclusively as a tribute, during our stay of nearly a week. (VERY Small memorial in lobby, off to the side.) Also we recommend playing more tropical/tin drum style music in general to set the mood, rather than pop & rap. Thank you for considering! We will be back!

Nice and clean with a friendly staff. It was so close to restaurants and shops that we rarely had to drive to dinner. Pool had a bar but there were so many children that it was hard to relax in the water with a drink. Would have been nice to have an adult only pool with a bar. The valet service was awesome. They went over and above the call of duty to help us when we accidently left something in our vehicle.

As a Margarittaville Owner, I was disappointed there was not any acknowledgment by any staff member at check on or during our visit. Very surprising. That being said—This facility is one of the nicest we’ve stayed at in a long time. It’s convenient and has lots of amenities due the proximity of the shops, restaurants and local attractions. We enjoyed the rooftop pool and Chill Bar. Although only pool, so kids are welcome and it can get crowded. Valet team was outstanding! Also a plus— no one tried to get us to do a presentation! Jimmy Buffet passed away while we were staying at this resort. They did put flowers and recognized his passing by playing his music exclusively.
