    Good place to visit if you're ever in the area and the drinks were on point. Not that watere down stuff you'll hear about. My wife and I really enjoyed ourselves before we had to get back on the ship. Wish we would have come by earlier.

    Such a great location right off the pier. Sometimes they have live music. I bought a shirt there last year that I didn't inspect real well and rhe seem was coming apart. I emailed them and they sent me a brand new shirt. Excellent customer service I was blown away at how nice they were. Drinks are amazing. Love the bahama mama! Some of the drinks come with fun cups too 😊

    Wasted $160… All that money down the drain for terrible frozen food. We loved coming to Margaritaville when stopping in Cozumel. It was always a favorite food spot for good eats and beautiful views. But now they’ve cut down their menu to basic bland fare and upped the prices and needless antics. The only edible thing we ordered were the nachos. The boneless wings were just nuggets. The carrots and celery on the plate were old. The fish tacos were awful. Some of the fish pieces were slimy…others were so fishy I had to spit it out. Two bites in and I stopped eating. The “salsa” was a disgrace to any discerning palate. I’d rather eat Taco Bell hot sauce. The steak tacos were chewy, unpalatable and under seasoned. In addition to the bad food, there was a young woman going around offering shots. IN THE SAME SHOT GLASS. That is completely unsanitary and unsafe. In a post COVID world, you would think cleanliness was important. Or, at the very least, we learned the importance of hygiene and basic health safety. We saw her give a shot to an older Caucasian man, give the glass a quick shake, and turn around and give a shot to a young Hispanic male. Hopefully neither of them walked away from a bad expensive meal with a side of disease. Do not eat here. Run away … fast.

    This was a rainy day in Cozumel but we tucked into this bar to get away from the rain and it was the best decision we made all day. The waiter was full of energy and made our lunch and margaritas even better. The chicken sandwich was good but the entertainment and margaritas could not be beat. If you're looking for a fun place to hang out, this is definitely it.

    great energy from the staff. it’s a cruise port restaurant, so of course there will be people working for tips coming around asking if you want to take photos with a sombrero, take some shots, etc. but they were very respectful to “no thank you”s. drinks were good and strong. ceviche was fresh, steak tacos were good.

    Probably the best Vocano Nachos I have had at any Margaritaville!

    My wife and I were very excited to go here after our cruise excursion. We’re huge fans of Margaritaville everywhere. EXCEPT… I told the waiter that it’s my wife’s birthday. They put a hat on her head, offered her a tequila shot (she declined because she doesn’t do tequila or shots) and two different men got behind each of us, grabbed our breasts and started vigorously shaking them. It was shocking, it was painful and it was more upsetting than I can appropriately communicate. I would like the name and number of the pets in charge so that I can register a complaint. That was inappropriate behavior and unnecessary for a birthday celebration.

    On a recent Cruise in the Western Caribbean, hurricane Ian required us to stay in Cozumel a bit longer. No better way to wait out the storm than sitting at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville. Great food, great drinks, and a great staff entertaining us.

    The drinks are still pricey, but much cheaper than on the cruise ships. If you get to see Juan, Juan is the man. Ask about his tattoos.

    Ordered a pina colada so I changed to a Margarita since that's what they're known for. We also ordered wings. Everything was fine. They were offering $3 Jell-O shots which were in the shape of a slice of watermelon. Fun dance by the staff!

    Had a great time. I ordered the tacos. Walked here from my hotel. Its in the pier, so when the ships leave, they close for the day. Great food, good music playing, right on the water, great vibe. Lots of fun photo ops. Hard Rock Cafe is right across the street. And this is surrounded with Shops, dessert kiosks, and other fun activities for cruisers that dont want to take an excursion or leave the pier.

    Right next to our cruise ship in Cozumel. We had amazing drinks here with friendly service right on the water in front of our cruise ship. Awesome margaritas and other boat drinks. Good music and a nice place to chill.

    This is my go to in Couzmel. I love the atmosphere. The staff is great right at the port easy off and on.

  • 4/5 Heather M. 5 months ago on Google
    It was a ship day and the bar tenders and servers all looked beat down by 2pm. It was so hard to place an order I literally had to keep flagging for a good 20 minutes. Great party atmosphere though and obviously you want a party when you’re on vacation!

  • 4/5 Michael R. 5 months ago on Google
    Good food, great service. Overall good atmosphere. To start, the cheesy fries were a great portion. As entrées, the bacon cheeseburger was delicious and the chicken tender bites were fresh and juicy. We also tried the beef tacos and found them tasty, but the meat was a little on the tough side.

    A must try touristy spot in Cozumel! Such a lively joint and food was delicious. Did seem a little pricey but that is to be expected. Watch out for the pigeon because they enjoy Mexican food too!

  • 5/5 Angela W. 1 year ago on Google
    The vibe is great and the service was excellent. The music was super loud, so if you want to talk to anyone, make sure you're yelling or sitting really close so the rest of your group can hear you. The way the restaurant is laid out is nice, because it's not just tables. There are couches with coffee tables to sit on, regular tables, the bar, and tall tables with bar stools. It's very different. I liked it a lot. I had a strawberry daiquiri and chicken and cheese quesadillas. Both were delicious!

    We had a great waiter—Jose. The food was okay. Drinks were good. The view of the ships was great. 2 adults and 2 small kids ended up being $120, so, a bit pricey, but ya know. Considering the circumstances it was a fine place to go.

    Much fun watching staff line dance; and great drinks! Mescalrita. Big thanks to Oskarina...beautiful and energetic!!! A must stop

    Just grabbed a margarita and a beer waiting for a cruise ship excursion to start. Nice outdoor patio set up, no wait. Drink prices pretty much what I expected in a tourist spot.

  • 4/5 Joseph R. 1 year ago on Google
    On our vacation to Cozumel we visited Margaritaville. We were really looking forward to this location. Unfortunately we were not all that impressed. They were very limited on any domestic beers. Seem to be a clean and upbeat place where they didn't have my beer. Souvenir prices were comparable to other places in the area. If you don't like drinking domestic beers, you'd probably like this place.

    I went into this fine establishment after walking around the tourist trap which essentially was a prison once we got off our cruise ship as there was only 1 way in and 1 way out of this massive tourist trap of shops and boutiques that we were physically forced to walk through to get to the otherside where taxis were!! I walked through an opening and was immediately told by guards to turn back around and enter the shopping area which is about 3 blocks long and once I made it out of the shopping area I was EXACTLY where I was 15 minutes prior to being asked to turn around and walk through all the shops!!! I enjoy shopping alot but I DO NOT want to be forced to shop, I also cannot stand when the vendors beg and plead with me to come in and look at the junk they are selling and most of them are rude and vicious when you say no thanks as they immediately either talk in foreign language about us or simply make fun somehow!! I enjoy helping the locals when I travel and I quite often purchase items I do not even want only to help them out but to place an entire cruise ship of 3000+ people into a shopping area that pretty much forces you to walk entirely through is just complete and utter wrong and hopefully others feel the same way as I do and they will change their approach in the future, We had to be at taxi within 20 minutes of exiting ship so we could make our destination in time and had no time for shopping and would have been perfectly fine with walking entire shopping area after our excursion was completed if we were not forced to walk through it to begin our day as it took the enjoyment and pleasure out of the mystery of what was offered in the shops. Most people on cruise ships enjoy doing their excursions first and then look forward to shopping afterwards to close out the day and to NOT have to carry purchses with them all day and we are no different and this particular port of call sucked the enjoyment out by placing us inside the huge shopping area 1st.....

    The best nachos at any Margaritaville in the Caribbean! Great staff. So warm and welcoming. Lots of entertainment too. You will definitely leave feeling full and happy!

  • 3/5 Tiffany C. 1 year ago on Google
    Drinks were good. Of course a little pricey, but very nice views and cool spot to hit before or after touring the island while at Port.

  • 4/5 Cheryl H. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome place! Drinks were lovely and they did a song and dance for us. Very cool! Drinks and food is expensive so buyer beware. We knew that going in though. Would and will go again. Love their souvenir glasses and mugs.

  • 4/5 Larry B. 2 years ago on Google
    Fun spot right off Royal Carribeans Dock! Fair food and drinks at tourist prices but you are paying for the location and the very eager to please staff! Throw in some loud music and the entire staff dancing in a party atmosphere….

    They did their best to make sure you had everything you needed. They genuinely just wanted to make sure you had a good experience while eating in Mexico.

  • 3/5 Just Me N m. 2 years ago on Google
    It was ok. Except while we were enjoying the music and drinks. Halfway through our drinks, we noticed ants on the table. We looked in our cups and ants were in the cups. Decided to call it a day and head back to the ship.
