Great burger and yummy fries while enjoying free WiFi and beachy drinks. Staff are friendly and helpful.
Nice cool spot right off the pier, cold drinks nice wait staff great watermelon shots we will visit again
Good hang out place while waiting for shore excursions. We decided to try this place after the tour and coming from TX---this spot charged the most for tacos! Staff was rude when we pointed out Tacos shouldn't cost that much. No free chips even! I mean what! Anyway, watermelon jelly shots were separate sold for 3 dollars I think.
This place is so sad. The cruises we were on didn't dock here so we decided to walk over. There were no people here, which is to be expected. What wasn't expected was the cost of everything. Holy cow this place is expensive. Do yourself a favor and just find a local place to eat. The atmosphere is a little sad. It reminds me of the good times, but it fails to deliver. Food is OK and servers are eager to help.
Fun place to visit. Great times we had here. You need to stop by when you are here visiting.
Pricey but good food, live music and great service. Right off the ship docks for the Royal Caribbean village we had decided to pass on Margaritaville for something more authentic but the cruise village only had a variety of chain Mexican restaurants to choose from like Senior Frogs. Frogs is too loud and two hot. We ended up heading back to the ship for lunch but stopped in Margaritaville instead because we wanted fish tacos. We got a nice shady spot on the edge, close to the mariachi band which was pretty good. Fish tacos were good with options for corn or flower tortillas. Mild with three salsas and sliced lime wedges. The sauces were mildly medium not hot. We also opted for the table side guacamole so it would be made the way we like it. Service was fast. Only drawback was they only had Pepsi black which is Aspartame sweetened instead of Pepsi zero and no other light or diet drinks. My wife had the fresh mango lemonade which was good.
I had no intention of even stopping into Cozumel's Margaritaville, but the legendary Jimmy Buffet passed away on this day, so I had to have one in his honor. What am I saying, I definitely had more than one. In many ways, this Margaritaville was no different than so many others I have been to, other than the fact that it was located in a port. Now, this last fact does change things quite a bit, as in away, the atmosphere was simply just an extension of the cruise ship. I was the only one at the bar paying in pesos, and everyone else was on their way to see the rest of the island before ship curfew. Another thing that I noticed is that they need to update the pics from their website. Those pictures are from a time when Margaritaville use to be closer to town. Honestly, I was a little disappointed, as the old location looked so much better. However, what did keep me stuck in Margaritaville was my two bartenders Wendy and Oskarina. This two gems served up some pretty tasty cocktails and pointed out merchandise deals that saved the day. For example, for just a few pesos more than the price of a margarita, I could purchase a Margaritaville steel tumbler, and my first margarita was free. This was a no brainer....I left with several. They also has me engaged and entertain, reminding of some of my favorite mixologists from home. Now, something I did find troubling was how this outside bar lacked fans for its staff. I was there for some time, so I was able to watch the melt. I called the manger that yes the fans for the customers were all very nice, but the bartenders got none of that air. I also pointed out that with cooler and other equipment, the temps behind the bar were considerably higher than my side of the bar. Finally, I pointed out that to instal two fans over the bar it would cost than a hundred bucks... I'm sure Jimmy wouldn't want his employees to suffer while they were serving up some delicious margaritas. The manager assured me that they would take care of it. I plan to go back in a week and change this review to five stars if they do
The place was loud and lively with all the music and a few anniversary celebration from fellow cruisers! We stopped by to cool down and have a little snack before heading back to our ship. Chris and I shared a plate of the best fish tacos we've ever had! It had tons of flavorful crispy fried cod! We also ordered Guacamole and chips and they made the guac in front of us!
Fun, touristy spot, food was yummy, service was friendly & prompt, drinks were delicious! Enjoyed our lunch!
This review will be as quick as my visit was. I came in after the Carnival cruise docked on the port for Mexico. Everything here is really rushed because it's a port and many travelers are rushing to get food in their tummies before going on excursions. The food was rushed and kind of cold -- I had the build your own tortillas platter, but it wasn't authentic. The music here was American, I love the United States, but if I'm traveling somewhere outside of the states, I want to hear their music and submerge myself in their culture instead. My favorite thing from the visit was getting my drink because I could get free refills and it was super delicious! Highly recommend the frozen drinks! Also, there's these three men that come over and start singing and they won't leave your table unless you tip. If you don't want to tip or are saving cash to buy souvenirs, I suggest being vocal and telling them no. If you don't know spanish, wave your hands with adamant no. If you do speak the native tongue, simply say, "Muchas gracias, pero no quiero música!". That should do the trick! Happy Travels

I was on my birthday cruise to Central America and on the way back on my he last leg We stopped in Cozumel. It was a terrific port. It was very bright, vibrant, colorful, and full of energy. Had a ton of stores. Most of them were touristy traps, but others have really good deals and after walking around all the stores my friends and I decided to check out Margaritaville Cozumel. We had drinks with chips and they made fresh avocado dip for us at the table. The service was impeccable. The staff was vibrant and energetic and dancing, and creating Congo lines and playing various styles of music to engage the customers and just have a really good time. read more
If you are looking to start off your trip with a bang and loud music, come to this spot. Arrived here shortly after our arrival. I had quesadillas and onion rings. The onion rings were not as good as I would have liked them to be but the quesadilla oddly enough were super good. The drinks pretty good and not that bad for pricing. the service was pretty good and always checking in on us. The Vibe is constant party! However, they could stand to turn the volume down a little bit LOL. Would definitely come back. read more

This is a really great upbeat bar & restaurant. The staff is really nice and friendly here.and the patrons were also.The weather was really nice for February especially coming from nyc where it was cold and rainy . This is a must visit when you are visiting cozumel Mexico. This has to be one of the best cruise ports I have been to hands down. If you like good food and some really good drinks and a fun crowd of people. You also have music & dancing. This is the place for you. Margaritaville is definitely a major tourist attraction. From what I see business is always booming. So from this being my first time at this cruise port and also my first time at margaritaville. So I have to say me and my wife enjoyed our time at this cruise port location. In cozumel Mexico ,margaritaville. This is such a Beautiful place to relax and enjoy your self while on vacation or turn up if that is your thing. read more

The drinks were strong the environment was awesome looking out the water was great the service was good the food was good we had a really fun time here at this place and I would go back the next time we are in Cozumel read more
3.5 STARS My family and I ended up at Margaritaville after an excursion. My group of six got here on Friday, December 7th around 12:30pm. We just sat at the bar and had a few margaritas. They were your standard drinks. Light for me, but refreshing after snorkeling for a few hours. I actually ended up downing two of them. The bartender was very sweet. The margaritas came with our excursion, so he was still nice given we didn't order anything else. It's a very touristy spot, but fun if you don't want to roam far from your cruise ship. Convenient if you're coming off a boat and want to grab drinks and food. You don't have to go far. read more
Stopped here before reporting back to our ship. Had a great time. Cocktails were strong, forwent the commemorative glasses because we had quite the flight the end of our cruise and did not want to pay for overweight baggage. Staff were very welcoming and the music was on point... read more

I must say this margaritaville showed me a GREAT time! I enjoyed myself here more than I have in the states, which was MORE than expected! while I understand I was in a tourist area, given a cruise port the staff was super accommodating! While the rained definaty stole my parade, Margaritaville made it all worthwhile! read more
Like most Margaritaville spots, you get your drinks and quick eats. But when you are in Cozumel, Mexico it is a different environment. The bar tenders were very friendly. Keeping all the tourists from the entertained. Some of the locals started singing and it gave it a very relaxed environment. We enjoyed some specialty drinks, HUGE chicken nachos as well. A good spot to hit before getting back on your cruise if you want to chill out a bit! read more
I liked the Jimmy Buffett background music (with accompanying concert videos on the TVs), and the nicely decorated, open air seating area. The gift shop area was also nice, with a fair selection of items, and friendly service. My 12 oz mixed berries margarita ($9) tasted great. The service at the bar was fast, but not especially welcoming or friendly. The location near the cruise dock was prime, so menu items were priced accordingly. They also offered free wi-fi. Overall, I'm thinking 3.5 stars, and rounding up because I'm a Jimmy Buffett fan. read more
