Location is great room clean and very spacious too. The in room drink machine is fine but doesn’t make drinks super warm being honest. Bathrooms great but there’s no shelf on which to place your own toiletries in the shower. We enjoyed our stay here and found staff to be helpful and pleasant too.

Location is great room clean and very spacious too. The in room drink machine is fine but doesn’t make drinks super warm being honest. Bathrooms great but there’s no shelf on which to place your own toiletries in the shower. We enjoyed our stay here and found staff to be helpful and pleasant too. Rooms aren’t serviced daily which is fine because they will respond to requests for extra towels or such on request. That on of the reasons for 4 stars as it’s probably the only slight let down. We booked last minute and would stay again, mainly because the locations good to other hotels, casino and shops etc. As other reviews point out valet parking is offered and we found this to be a negative experience as well. They didn’t take details correctly, even though we spelt our name, which meant after check in they were unable to match our name with the room to bring our bags to! Second reason for 4 star review, more haste less speed. The only very negative thing I have to say is that given it was December there was a distinct lack of Christmas decorations in the hotel at all, which was a shame as the surrounding area was so beautifully decorated outside.

It felt good to be in Lake Tahoe, while I was in town for business and stayed there 5 nights, I enjoyed the slower pace and relaxed atmosphere of South Lake Tahoe, I have to admit that everyone is encountered in the hotel was really nice and genuine! Not what we're used to nowadays. The hotel has been renovated, not sure if my room was standard or if it was a suite, but it was super spacious. The housekeeping were efficient, I found my room neat and clean everyday. The front desk people always available. They have a little gift shop/coffee shop/convenience store, which is super convenient and there again the lady working at the counter were really nice and easy to strike a conversation with. No exception with the bartender, I actually found myself getting a cocktail at night and ordering another one just because it was so fun to listen to his stories! I had most services delivered by the valet team, as it is the only option to park directly at the hotel, I believe there is another parking nearby, but for almost the same price and not covered, so why not letting them take care of it for me? Here again, they were all super nice and easy to speak with and get recommendations about local shops and food options. Not sure if this is the air of South Lake Tahoe or the Margaritaville vibes, but I will come again. Read less

We spent 3 nights at the Margaritaville Resort Lake Tahoe mid-November. I wasn’t sure what to expect as the reviews were terrible under the previous ownership. I must say, we were pleasantly surprised! The rooms were very clean and well appointed, each one is a suite with bedroom, bathroom, small “kitchen” area with coffee maker and fridge and a decent sized living room. The unit has 2 TV’s and a safe and was cleaned on a daily basis to a high standard. The rest of the hotel was basically a vast atrium with streams and ponds with multiple-colored flowers, like outdoors, but indoors. We enjoyed drinks at the “license to Chill” bar and listened to the nightly entertainment. I would say that this will be our Go-To place to stay for future visits, the staff were very friendly and helpful, and the location cannot be beat! Read less

Plus even if you don’t use the ‘Resort’, you will still pay for it. Just my opinion. Read less
