This is an elevated and secluded resort for families or groups. As a family of 4 adults we rented a two bedroom, two bathroom villa with a kitchen, big dining table and comfortable living room. We decorated the shelving unit which held a large screen TV with Christmas decorations we brought from home. With the fire scene on the TV and stockings hung on either side along with lights, etc. we had a bit of home on a tropical Christmas. We did some cooking, ordered room service and enjoyed the restaurant. Christmas Eve we had an old fashioned Belizean meal with turkey, rice and beans, salad with local greens and a wonderful black fruitcake soaked in rum. There are lots of activities available including pickleball, kayaks, paddle boards and bicycles. You can rent a golf cart to explore the rainforest trails, take a sunset cruise to snorkel or paddle out on a kayak and snorkel on the nearby reef. The reef is thriving unlike many other barrier reefs. There are also two beautiful pools. There are 3 bars to enjoy including a swim up bar and one on the beach. All make great cocktails and drinks and play a mix of music. We danced to a DJ on Christmas Eve and witnessed a hermit crab race. Although the resort was booked to capacity it never felt crowded as many families spent time enjoying the beautiful villas. The privacy was very welcome to 4 big, city dwellers. The resort occupies an untouched stretch of beach and jungle, with no neighbors and is reached by a 25 minute speedboat boat or a taxi ride. We also spent time enjoying the facilities and met very nice guests. The Belizeans are friendly, warm hearted hosts. We will definitely return to Margaritaville for a family vacation.
