Margaritaville
It seems summer vacation and family trips go hand in hand. With summer months around the corner, as well as spring break sneaking up fast, you might be thinking about where to visit and what the kids will enjoy. Margaritaville offers an all in one vacation location for family fun with multiple locations which have their unique flare, accommodations, and fit families of all sizes and age groups.
My family and I stayed at the Biloxi location. This hotel caters more to kids, has three restaurants, different bars located throughout the hotel, a cafe in the lobby, a floor dedicated for an expansive arcade, and a great pool area for parents to relax while the kids enjoy playing in the summer sun. The resort has rooms over looking the harbor with breath taking views of the sunset. The rooms are very spacious and include a lot of extras such as rooms service from the Margaritaville restaurant, complimentary water bottles, and a mini-fridge. We stayed in a room with two queen beds and still had space to set up a pack and play for our youngest.
One of the great things about staying there was an abundance of places to eat. The variety of restaurants gave us plenty of options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner without having to drive anywhere. We mostly ate at the Margaritaville restaurant because they offered many gluten-free items on the menu for all meals, and it was kid-friendly. The servers did a fantastic job answering all questions, making sure any food allergies/intolerances were noted and appropriately handled when the food was being prepared. Another reason we ate here was the entertainment. This restaurant plays music, music videos on small tv by some tables, and every hour the volcano rock climbing wall will erupt. You can also listen to live bands play and sing karaoke on Saturdays nights. However, my kids enjoyed the pirate stilt walkers, who made balloon animals during dinner time. The entertainment was endless.
On the way out of town, we stopped by another restaurant, which was terrific. Half Shell Oyster House had a great variety on their main menu as well as on their gluten-free. The atmosphere and decor showed the history of the restaurant and town. The exposed brick on the inside, ironwork outside on the second balcony, and exposed ceiling gave this restaurant so much character it was hard to take everything in while we ate lunch. I can’t wait to revisit and try more of their delicious food.

Looks like it was a great adventure with some fun meals! The Margaritaville restaurant sounds like a great place for the kiddos; kid friendly restaurants are great!

It was very kid friendly and everyone was so nice. They had some both to look like you were sitting on a boat which my kids loved!

This looks like a fun place. I stopped for a night in Biloxi once, but I didn’t stay anywhere like this. I have been to the Margaritaville in Lake of the Ozarks. I like being by the lake.
Carey M
I would love stay at another location to see the difference. We love being by the lake as well so Lake of the Ozarks would be a great trip!

I’ve been to several Margaritaville restaurants, but have never stayed at one of their resorts – and I’ve never been to Mississippi. May need to check both off my list!
Carey M
Mississippi has a lot to see and explore. I would love to visit more of their nature preserves. We are also looking to stay at other Margaritaville locations since they all offer something different.
Trisha

Carey M
I was surprised by the amount of GF food. Everything tasted great.

We LOVE the Biloxi location. The rock climbing wall there was the first one our daughter ever conquered!
Carey M
Good for her! Its a tough wall. Its the first one my son tried and loved it!
Cindy Mailhot
I love restaurants with live entertainment. Especially when traveling. It is a good way to get a feel for the culture. The food looks so yummy.
Carey M
I agree. Music and food are the best ways to understand different places and culture. You learn so much from both.
