I think staff went out of their way, from restaurant to front desk. Maybe the downstairs room, could have a little sink, dish towel . Otherwise great location on the lake. We would do it again.

The room was overall clean, however the entrance doors were rather dirty with lots of dead bugs. The stairs to the rooms are very narrow to carry your bags up them. The property pool could use some attention and a good cleaning.

We greatly appreciated the helpful staff! They sent text messages to check on us and when our first room was not going to work due to mobility issues, they quickly and kindly helped us move. This is a very challenging property for anyone with mobility limitations. It can be done, but call ahead to get more info on options. The amenities and activities are great to have, but everything seems to have an extra cost so budget for extra costs.

The property itself is so beautiful. The only thing I wouldn’t recommend is staying at the rooms that are separate from the hotel near the water. They put us in one of those rooms at first and it was so hot because the air conditioning only works when you are in your room and moving. So if you are out enjoying the pool or anything else they offer you would come back to a hot room and it was 100 degrees on a couple days were we there so that was a no go for us. However I called the front desk and they moved us to the main hotel right away and our stay was perfect after that! Can’t wait to go back next year!

Margaritaville acquired the legacy Tan-Ter-a resort. They gave it a superficial face lift. We have recently booked 2 rooms that were dirty and stunk like animal urine. One room down by the lake didn’t have an exterior door sweep, which means a 3/4 inch gap to the outside where snakes, mice, etc. could enter. The waiters at the Tiki bars is mostly useless, so most people go up and get their own drinks.

The first room that we were assigned to was extremely small and looked out on the parking lot. The building is old so we had to walk up a flight of stairs with our luggage to get to our room. There was only a bed in the room, no table or chairs so if you wanted to sit down, you had to sit on the bed. I called the front desk and asked if it was normal practice to not even have a chair in the room.
The staff offered us another room which was a definite upgrade with a view of the lake, table and chairs and much more space. I appreciated their quick response.

We were there with our grandchildren to enjoy the Lake and spend a few days in the Ozarks. They provide everyone with a wrist band which opens the door to your room. This is all that they provide. Once on site there is NOTHING inclusive about this stay. You have options for a couple of pools for free and that is it. Even the Putt Putt Golf and Activity Program for children have fees and they are not inexpensive.
Re -think the Family experience and include something with the cost of the hotel stay--either bowling, arcade or one day pass to the Indoor Water Park!!!!
Affordability is the Key and think about the Family--the food and drink alone are expensive. How about a microwave in every room as well --so you can re-heat your leftovers from the restaurants. This would be helpful.

All the amenities are extra fees bedsides the pools which are over crowded. A storm hit knocking the power out for the remainder of our stay. They do not have back up generators and the water stopped working as well. Hence the rooms were very hot but they did not want you outside once it got dark.

Unfortunately, it felt gross and dirty. It actually made me feel like a bad mom because I was letting my son stay somewhere so dirty. Extremely disappointing and not a great start to our vacation. Silver lining was it was only one night.

If you're fortunate enough to find somebody leaving, you can get a decent parking spot, otherwise, you might be parking 1/4 mile away. On the plus side, all of the employees were very pleasant

The entire place is super run down. The staff said it was remodeled to a margaritaville in 2019 but it is dirty and old and smells like a wet dog. The parking situation is a nightmare. The whole place is up and down hills and no place to park to unload your bags. They have all these fast golf carts driven by kids zooming everywhere. Once we got to the room after parking half a mile away the room smelled so bad. It smelled like mold, wet dog and smoking. The floor was separating from the walls and everything was grimey. The bed sheets were stained the floor was dirty, the bath tub was dirty and there was long black hair all over the place. For the price of this place it is absolutely not worth it. I would recommend this place only if you enjoy camping indoors and even then bring your own blankets!

I highly recommend as a mini vacation get away. The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is because the beds are terrible. They are so noisy and the springs dig into your body. Every time my son would move, it sounded like the bed as going to fall apart. A couple other same things: I wish the water refill stations worked, the pool tables kept jamming and we were constantly having to go get help, and the water pressure could’ve been better. Other than that, it was a great choice overall.

You could not connect to the wifi in our room. The water park smelled of urine. The indoor pool and hot tub in the driftwood building was enjoyable. This was $250 more than lodge of the four seasons for no reason, there was no complimentary breakfast, no tickets to the waterpark, nothing. My first and last time at Margaritaville.

Well I thought for my stay the waterpark was included which was not i had to pay $64.07 for my kids and me to enjoy the waterpark which it should be included with the stay. I paid over $530 something for the entire time I was there and the room was only $347 only stayed one night with two kids but over paid in my opinion. I think what should say is in big letters so people will know WATERPARK IS NOT INCLUDED IN YOUR STAY so others dont get confused like me. Stay was great and nice thank you Michael the front dest guy was really nice and super helpful so was i think Tammy one of the people at the waterpark at the slides I wasnt happy with she let two girls go down the slide without a tube and told my two girls they had to have a tube to go down the big slide then I watched the same little girls go down that same slide 5 different times and my girls asked yet again and she told them no they had to have a tube so wasnt happy about that either the girl at the arcade she was very sweet and super nice and im sorry if I was a little rude when the dude cut in front of my kids and me that was a little rude the guy at the waterpark that checks people in he was great and super nice and the chick making food she was amazing as well we did have a great time not going to lie but I think I over paid and I got my $50 back too.

The room and service was great. My only complaint is that is very difficult to unload and unload. Both myself and my 3vyear old grandaughter fell in rocks on sidewalks before we could make it to the room. There was nothing to load luggage on. We had 4 kids so it was multiple trips. It is difficult to get to rooms due to lots of steps, rocks and blocked areas close to water park. It was pouring when we left and we got soaked because of the distance to the room and inability to pull up closer to entrance. The rides back and forth to destinations on golf carts were amazing. The breakfast was excellent and so reasonable. The older lady who waited on us was the best waitress ever. She was so friendly and the kids loved her. Food at the LandShark was not good and overpriced for the quality. The Waterpark was nice though a $5 discount is not much if you are staying there. Great Wolf Waterpark is FREE if you are a guest. The kids enjoyed the pizzeria the arcade and bowling as well. Overall it was a good time once we got into the room.

April 2026 stay, which was 'out of season'. Booked room for five nights with our adult daughter accompanying us. Arrived to find two sets of convention people at the site and the room allocated was a double occupancy bed. Went back to reception and they eventually allocated us a room in 'the estate', an adjacent set of cabins located about 1 mile away. Location was picturesque with lakeside views. Room was clean and tidy although the bathroom floor corners had some detritus (which remained after the day 3 refresh)
The negatives are they use this time to maintain the property. Gym room closed, most outdoor pools closed, only two of seven restaurants and no boats/aquatic activities available. Additionally, people who travel eventually need to perform clothes washing. Only two sections have machines, one had all four machines out-of-order and the other location had a system where you have to download an app to get the machine to run. Works fine unless your phone is not regionally coded to America.
On the positive, the room was quiet (except the in-wall AC) and you had dedicated parking. The wildlife was more likely to be seem and appreciated with less people about and they did have an off-site gym pass (5.8 miles away). The Landshark restaurant has a great outlook, the staff are attentive and to food/atmosphere is great.

My grandson and I stayed here New Years Eve. We were in a room three floors below where the band and party were, but could still hear it so clear I was able to tell exactly what song was being played. I politely called the front desk asking if there was any way I could get moved to another location to where it wouldn’t keep my three year old grandson awake and was told “It’s New tears Eve and there is nothing we can do about that. You just have to wait until after midnight”. The band didn’t stop until one in the morning. My grandson and I both weren’t able to get much sleep at all. There was zero response the next day from any management or anyone for that matter. I had even extended my stay from the night before, in order for my grandson to play in the arcade and waterpark.
