Wow-we can’t tell you how much this comment means to us. Like y’all, we traveled so much as a couple and when we had our daughter we made it a huge priority to keep it going. She is almost 3 now and we have been able to take her on so many adventures, and these are some of our favorite travel memories. It’s not always easy traveling with an infant or toddler, but it’s SO REWARDING! And this St. Thomas Margaritaville trip was one of our faves. We wish you and your family many safe trips and awesome memories in the years to come 😀🛫🏝️

Hello! No, the Margaritaville Club Wyndham Resort is not all-inclusive. All food and drink is charged separately. They actually don’t even allow room charges because the hotel itself is under different ownership from the restaurant group. So you have to have cash or credit card on you the whole stay. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!

Great question. This was our first trip to St. Thomas ever and we found the food prices everywhere to be fairly expensive. We live in Orlando near the theme parks where everything is similarly expensive so we call it “theme park prices.” The Margaritaville restaurant and bars had theme park prices. Beer was about $8-9 and cocktails were $12 (but Happy Hour is BOGO!). Food entrees were in the $20-$30 range. Hope this helps!

Hello! We are jealous that you are on the way to the USVI! This resort is amazing. Regarding packages, when we were there the front desk informed us that the hotel and food & beverage locations are owned by different entities. Wyndham runs the hotel and Margaritaville runs the bars and restaurants. Because of this there were no drink packages or room charges for food & drink. We had to carry cash or card with us for all meals and bars, including the pool bar. This may have changed since we were there so it’s worth checking at the front desk, but unfortunately that was not the case during our stay. We hope you have an awesome trip!

@micalebgoeswest
8 күн бұрын
Hi! The resort had chairs and towels included, including some with umbrellas, but most were at the pools. There weren’t many chairs on the beach when we were there but I think it was due to the high amounts of seaweed that had washed up prior to our stay. They were constantly raking up the seaweed with a bulldozer so that the beach looked nice. But they had a beach attendant with extra lounge chairs so I believe they would put a chair and umbrella down if a guest requested it. Hope that helps!

We actually booked our stay through a time share exchange company (RCI), so we used points to book and didn’t pay any deposit.

My guess is they refund them once they ensure the room was left in good condition.

Even if you don’t leave property you can order delivery pizza or walk across the street to a little plaza with some good options. We hope this helps!
