We rented a four bedroom cottage. It was awesome, they are three stories so, there are lots of stairs. We love Margaretville hotel part too. Since we were 8 we decided this year to do the cottages. We were king of far from the amenities, but I guess when you bring your dogs they put you towards the back were there is a lot of area to walk your pets. The cottages had everything that you can need. It has half a bath in on the 1st floor were the living room, dining room and kitchen is at. Two bedrooms with their own bathroom and the third floor had two more bedrooms with their own bathrooms too. We really loved that all the bedrooms has their own full big bathrooms. The rooms had two king size beds and two queen size beds. The only thing I wished they had was holding bars in the showers because the were pretty slippery. I think all bathrooms should have that because you could not pick a cottage with disability access, they are all individually owned, so they are all different on the inside. Other than that all else was great.

My wife and I have been coming here for 3 years now and we love it! Such a beautiful resort and so close to everything. We love to start our day with breakfast at Euphoria. They give you a nice plate of complementary pastries that are to die for. On our most recent stay we had Stephanie as our server and she was fantastic! She was so sweet and personable; I hope we get her again on our next trip! The crab Benedict that she recommended was outstanding. We cant wait to come back!

Staff were all very welcoming and friendly , food in euphoria is high quality although it is expensive but worth it in my opinion , another shop on site to get fresh lattes and other drinks breakfast lunch snacks icecream .

So disappointing

I have looked forward to finding a reason to come and stay since the resort opened. I am a rare Irish Jimmy Buffet fan and love the various Margaritaville bars I have been to. So getting a weekend at the Orlando resort was a huge thing i was looking forwards to. What a disappointment. The hotel is beautiful - amazing lobby, great pools, nice room. However, that is where it stops. The hotel was <50% occupied the night before I arrived and yet they made me wait 2.5hrs to check in at 4pm. Totally unhelpful. The staff were professional but no warmth. I didnt hear a single Jimmy Buffet song during my stay. The band (a singer and guitar player) were really not good (and I like pretty much any live music). Totally lost the audience. Drinks and food are expensive and not really up to scratch. For example at breakfast i ordered a bacon and cheddar cheese omelette. It was very small, over done and rather than use grated cheese, which is the only way i have ever heard of a cheese omelette, they had put a piece of processed cheese on top of the omelette and sort of melted it. Bizarre in every way. I have attached a photo for others to decide if I am being fair!!
I would also say that across most/all of the staff I met over a 2 day stay, they all seemed professional, but there was no joy from any of them exuding. So maybe that explains somewhat the really underwhelming experience.
This should be a magical experience. If it was a 2 or 3* hotel, I would understand it, but it isnt. I am just so disappointed as I had hoped to find a new "go-to" hotel and unfortunately, this isnt going to be it

Your holiday may be affected by travel restrictions or cancellations
We are continually reviewing our flying schedules, taking into account the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) advice against all non-essential travel. Depending on when you are due to travel, your holiday may be affected and we’ll email you to let you know as least 21 days before travel.
Your next holiday is only a click away - our website has thousands of options ready to book. But if you need more help, just give us a call on 0344 472 9646.
With many customers needing our help, we are prioritising those customers due to travel before 31 December 2020. Log in to Manage my booking where you can message us about your options or you can give us a call. Bear in mind you may have to wait longer than expected. We continue to review this and working to open up these options to more customers. In the meantime check out our FAQs to see if this can help answer any immediate questions.
Rest assured; we will notify you as soon as we know if your holiday has been affected by email.

Depending on when you are due to travel, your holiday may be affected and we’ll email you to let you know as least 21 days before travel.
Don’t worry if you’ve missed a payment or just need a little more time to pay; we have options available to help you. If your holiday is going ahead as planned, you can continue to pay for your holiday in Manage my booking, even if travelling in less than 12 weeks. If you’re unsure, you can delay any additional payments by choosing a new time to travel by requesting a call back in Manage My booking for one of our team to look at options. If your holiday is more than 6 months away, you may wish to set up a Direct Debit to spread the cost. This can be arranged whilst rebooking or afterwards in Manage my booking.
We understand that you may wish to change your holiday plans and we appreciate the need for flexibility.
We'll be in touch by email letting you know how to register to change your holiday plans. You can also log into Manage my booking to find the details there.
Please look out for emails from us or visit our dedicated Covid-19 (Coronavirus) page for the latest updates.
If we haven’t notified you of any changes, your holiday will be going ahead as planned but if you prefer to move your holiday to a later time we can help. You can call our team on 0344 472 9499 who can look at options for you.
Payments are being prioritised based on when the request was made, working in order from March 2020 onwards. We will always try to process refunds at the earliest opportunity, for requests before August our maximum timeframe is 120 days. As we are steadily reducing the maximum processing time for each new request, for refund requests made in August, we expect the maximum processing time to be 80 days, from the date the refund is requested. For those requesting a refund in September, we expect it to be processed within a maximum of 60 days, and then reduce to 30 days for refunds requested in October, before returning to normal levels.
To finalise the amendment, one of our customer advisors will phone you. We need to work through amend requests in departure date order so we can prioritise those with the most imminent travel plans, so you may have a longer wait than usual until we’re able to ring you back. We will help everyone that wants to move their holiday.
I returned early from holiday and have further questions?
You can contact our team by emailing feedback.backhome@virginholidays.com to discuss options on unused portions of your holiday. If you need to contact our team about amending an existing holiday or requesting a refund please log in to manage my booking.
