About
Where it’s always 5 O’Clock Roll down the cruise ship pier of Jamaica’s northeastern shore to the welcoming Margaritaville Ocho Rios located in Island Village. Feel the rhythm of the island wash over you as you enter the pulse of Ochi’s vibrant beachside day life and electric nightlife. Caribbean flavors and American favorites paired with drinks that flow just as freely as Dunn’s River Falls. Sun-drenched outdoor spaces and friendly faces at every turn. Banging beats and bars with in-pool seats. Here, the hardest choice you’ll have is where to stretch out with a cold one. Chill out at our swim-up bar, soar above the main bar from our 60-foot waterslide or get down in the white sand at our all-day

The day started out well. Then turned south when the street vendor (hair braiders) were allowed on beach. DO NOT get your hair braided! Horrible RIP of paid 100 bucks for 2 single wrapped braids . Margarita ill should not allow vendors to come on...premises unless they are monitored. Felt bullied and robbed! Terrible experience! Waitres were friendly and nice!More

We went to spend the day on the beach at Margaritaville, and the staff were so great with my baby. Specifically sapphire and Tonecia. I was able to enjoy the day as they played with my kid and insured we had a great service.

Shackera and DJ Real Deal made our time here so much fun! They both were very friendly and attentive. DJ Real Deal liked to talk and make friends. If you get the chance, have a drink made by Shackera!

Everyone I interacted with was friendly an outgoing. When cruising, you only get to experience things for a short time period and then made our visit to Jamaica memorable. Thank you Greg.

We were a party of 5 and our server Shakira was amazing, she was full of energy and very accommodating. I would recommend making a stop here when in Ocho Rios.

We arrived in Ocho Rio via Holland America cruise ship. When we got off the boat we walked along the road until we arrived at Margaritaville. Everyone working there was exceptionally friendly. One of the workers got us chairs and another worker brought us over...an umbrella. Then we met Tonecia another worker. She came over to us with her beautiful smile and friendly way. We played a fun game where she asked us questions and we held up cards while we waited for our drinks. Tonecia is attentive, sweet and excellent with people. We enjoyed our time there at Margaritaville but especially meeting Tonecia. Thanks for the fun day in Ocho Rio!!!More

Dropped in for lunch and had great nachos and margs. Chill setting on the beach, great for fun times and people-watching. The server could have been more friendly, but it didn’t ruin our visit.

We did a shore excursion in Ocho Rios (cooking class) that took place at Margaritaville. The class was ok, but what I really was surprised about was the beach pool experience. It is a VERY small beach area with commensurate chairs. The kids pool was...so cloudy you couldn't see the shallow bottom although there were several children playing in it and having a ball! If you only want the bar/food vibe, I'm sure that this is a great place as it was packed! I would not recommend going just for the beach/pool.More

As long as you get a drink, you have use of the facilities. The pool is nice but the ocean is so much nicer!
