"Just to be clear, this review is for the Margaritaville Beach Hotel in Jacksonville Beach, Florida.
____
My wife and I were only there for one night, but glad we picked this place.
The room was clean and the "partial ocean view" was still a great overall view-plenty of ocean to see.
Hotels.com description of place was correct. Black out curtains were actually blackout. I slept very well. Restaurants near-by. Walk to the beach took less than a minute. Elevators moved quickly, but be aware, those doors close fast!
Only real negative is the parking. Few free spaces available and valet was a bit expensive. Not worth it for us, but for someone reading this review, just be ready to pay $20-30 USD plus tip, if you go with valet parking.
Fortunately, we were there in the off season (or so I was told), so I was able to find a parking spot relatively close.
Overall, I recommend the place.
Would stay again if ever back in Jacksonville Beach FL.
*From my wife: Recommend watching the sunrise on the pier. But bring a jacket. It's chilly in the morning.
From me: You're considered "a local" ( $1 per person/day) at the pier if you're staying at the Margaritaville hotel. I can't speak to the other hotels, but likely it's the same. Fishing is also available. And yes, she did love the sunrise. "
