What guests think

Margaritaville Island Hotel delivers spacious rooms and a lively, walkable location on The Island, with friendly service, rooftop pool views, and fireplaces, though parking fees, long walks, and inconsistent cleanliness or maintenance are recurring drawbacks.

River-facing rooms are typically quieter and darker than village-facing rooms, which can stay bright and noisy late. A few mention pool cleanliness or safety concerns and limited spa services at times, plus aggressive timeshare offers. Expect a lively, convenient stay steps from entertainment rather than a secluded retreat.

Resort style hotel, situated above shops, restaurants and entertainment. Extremely long walk from main entrance elevator to hotel room. Room was quite large with plenty of space for a family of 4. Starbucks at the main entrance was convenient. Valet requires you to walk in and drop off keys, but this was not obvious upon arrival.

I wish I can give it 5 stars for property condition but the pool conditions like the steps were unsafe. The step tiles seem to hang over so it’s sharp. My son slice his toe pretty good. Everything else was amazing. Location was wonderful will definitely come back next year.

This was our second time staying at the Island. It is an extremely clean hotel with the nicest employees. They gave us free vouchers for drinks and a dessert at the restaurants after finding out it was my son’s birthday. The pool and hot tub are great and we were alone in it a few days so that was nice. I have a few complaints about the rooms. The floors make your feet black so that’s kind of yucky. The other complaint is just personal to me. We’ve had rooms overlooking the stores each time. The lights stay on all night so it’s very bright in the room when you’re trying to sleep and in the morning when the sun comes up. I like it to be a cave so that could just be a me issue. My only other complaint is the loading and unloading area. In busy times, there is nowhere to park and unload your luggage or load in your vehicle. Just a heads up. Overall we love this place and will return.

This is a tourist trap. You get bombarded at check in to do a time share presentation and given free drink tickets for the worst drinks I’ve ever tasted. It took 10 minutes to get to our room because the place is so big. Staff saw me struggling and dropping things at check out and just stood and watched. Restaurants are full of young, immature workers. The pool was cloudy. Parking is far and not easily accessible. Sad I wasted money here.

Margaritaville Hotel is clean, safe, convenient, and comfortable. Had excellent experience with staff. Highly encourage river view if you need a dark room to sleep. The lights from storefront signage keeps village view rooms too bright at night. Staff was also helpful with obtaining the Tesla Destination Charger in the valet lot.

Hotel super conveniently located to many things to do, and food to eat. Hotel was overwhelming big, with a tiny lobby area. Standard double queen room courtyard side seemed a little smaller, and floors felt dirty. Besides that, everything else about room fine. Unfortunately their is no indoor pool, and the outdoor rooftop pool not to big compared to how many guest that can want to use it. Also, pricey $25 a day valet which can add up staying a week, and $10 self parking that is almost 10 minute walk away from hotel makes no sense. Self parking should be free! Overall, hotel seems like a nice place for couples, but not geared towards families, though many would be fine. Just not what we look for in a long stay.

Our room was very spacious and mostly clean, but floor was very dirty (wiped up a small spill and the towel was covered in brown dust/dirt, and many of my white socks were ruined with brown dirt stains). Loved that we had a balcony to sit outside in the morning/evening. Constant dinosaur sounds (from village below) from 9am to 10pm were annoying though. If we stay there again, we'll ask for the river side instead of the village side. Hotel was within great waliking and driving access to local activities, entertainment and restaurants. This hotel is better for young families with children than seniors.

Very well themed and friendly staff. However this property has issues with parking is far away unless you valet. The unloading area is extremely small for the size of this hotel even getting in to unload can be challenging with all the people walking in the area. The cleanliness is not what I expected. I put on a pair of clean socks and literally after 10 minutes walking around the room they were black on the bottom. And lots of dust everywhere around the room. The walkway out front can be extremely slippery if it rains. Again the staff is very friendly.

The property is close to a lot of fun activities, which is why we booked it. Unfortunately when we arrived, we pulled out the bed in the pull out couch and it was stained with a bunch of brown stuff (the sheets and the undercover both). We asked the front desk to have someone come change the sheets, and they were quick to respond. But then later we pulled the extra blanket and sheets out, which again had yellow stains on them. We also noticed brown stains on one of the outlets and the back of the bathroom door. The air vent also had clearly not been cleaned and was completely covered in layers of dust right on the ceiling near the bed. So overall, even though the staff was always quick to come fix issues, we just did not feel the property was clean and well cared for.

Very nice hotel and room. Amazing view. Room was beautiful and the bed was very comfortable. Great layout but beware you will be cleaning it. When we got in we had dirt on our feet and there was food and dirt on the floors. I decided to get some stuff and clean the floors and bathroom and the wipes and towels were black after many wipes. Also found pubic hair in our shower. We have small children so thankfully we cleaned to protect them but it was so dirty it took my husband and I about 90min to clean until we just said good enough. In my opinion vacation is short and it’s not worth the time taken away to clean your own room.

We’ve been staying here since a month after they opened in 2014 and have never had a bad experience! It’s our absolute favorite place to stay! This was our first time in a room with a crappy view but honestly that didn’t even matter to us. So if you want a river view I’d try to stay away from r249 area. We’ve stayed in River ones before and the view was great. The convenience of this hotel on the island makes your stay unforgettable! Highly recommend!

Valet staff were friendly. My only real complaint is that the hotel is basically one long hallway. We had a room at the very end so anytime we came from valet and up the elevator from the main entrance, it was about a 4 min walk to our room (we timed it) which really isn’t a major deal for us but for people who have trouble walking, I highly recommend specifically booking a room close to the main entrance’s elevator. Furthermore, it seems like hot water was only pumped from the front of the hotel, so it would take roughly 15 mins of preheating the shower to get it warm given our location at the end of the hall.

Arriving to check in and parking is quite chaotic. If you don’t want to pay extra for valet, self park is a good 5 min walk. Trying to get to the entrance to unload and check in is wild. Traffic is non stop and a trolley comes by for pick up right in the middle of everything. Fair warning concierge not only want to help you with local attraction tickets but for a timeshare tour. The young men are easy to talk to and very sweet, but it’s the last thing I want to discuss after a 3 hour trip and trying to get luggage up to my room. Maybe it was the time of year we stayed but there was a lot of noise near our room very early in the mornings. The location is ideal if you don’t have a lot planned away from Pigeon Forge. We liked that we could hang out and walk to The Island or other nearby restaurants and shops.

Second time staying and loved it once again. We have had both a river view and shopping alley view. River side is quieter, but view room is fun to feel like you are part of the “Island energy”. Front desk manager and staff were wonderful, housekeeping staff helpful and friendly, and valet was friendly and efficient. The two experiences that were less than hospitable were with the bartender at the rooftop bar and the concierge. When I asked for recommendations on margaritas, he said, “I think margaritas are trash.” We had o ly been on property for half an hour at this point, so not the warmest welcome. Also, you work somewhere that got its namesake from the drink so….When we spoke to the conceierge about tickets, she was first concerned that we hadn’t been put on the list for the “open house”, when I asked if it was for a timeshare presentation, the answer was slow to come. Overall, wonderful experience,love the property.

Room was clean and spacious. Wonderful shower! Walking distance from main entrance to room was quite far but luckily there was an elevator closer to our room that took us to the shops below that made the walk to the valet much shorter. Our one negative is their valet service. It’s slow and congested. Saturday night of our stay I found out why it’s so congested. The valets take cash payments from people not staying on site to park at the valet location while they shop/eat at the island. I personally witnessed this happening twice while I was waiting for my vehicle and I was staying onsite! Very frustrating!
