    We prefer the Margaritaville resort over them all! It doesn't hurt that we are Club Wyndham owners so we only pay an annual fee of $1200, paid monthly $100, and we can use those points to stay anywhere we want. This year we went to Cozumel. Next year we are going to Puerto Rico :)

    • @CamillaJohannesen
      @CamillaJohannesen  Před rokem +3

      We enjoyed Margaritaville too, we stayed there last year for New Years. I love how close it is to the Coki beach. But yeah, that is a great deal, and I totally understand why you would go there then! Have you been to Puerto Rico before? We love San Juan! Aaand I'm gong to Mexico in August 🥰

      @@CamillaJohannesen we have been going to a new island every year since we went to USVI, all using our Club Wyndham. Have never been to PR and hadn't been to Mexico before. We definitely want to go back to St John though, so far the water there is the most beautiful we have seen.

      I was sad to see that Margaritaville was a mess when I went. The beach stunk and wasn’t cleaned up of all the seaweed and was cloudy and yellow. The pool was cloudy, and the music and dj’s there were unappealing playing bad rap and club music at a volume where you couldn’t hear your own thoughts. The sunset cruise out of there was delightful, but even some of the sailing guests had said they regret booking Margaritaville. I stayed in November of ‘22
