Best Restaurant in Ocho Rios!!

Best Restaurant in Ocho Rios!!

If you want to eat, drink, dance and listen to music, swim all at the same time, then Margaritaville is the place to be!!...Jumping from the water slide to the trampolines in the beach to the dance floor is what it is all about. Truly many fun experiences all in one. Of course the food is Jamaican and American. Music and Dj are hype!! If you are ever in Ochio Rios, Negril or Montego Bay, visit Jiimy Buffet's Margaritaville and you'll never forget it. The Best thing about this place is that in the night the restaurant transforms into a nigth club where you party till early in the morning

Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville is one of the largest restaurants in Jamaica. The restaurant is able to seat 450 people. Margaritaville has a reputation as a high-energy bar and grill with entertainment continuing late at night, and most people, including me, think that it does live up to its reputation. Attractions include a rooftop whirlpool tub, a 100-foot water slide that goes through the main floor of the restaurant, a pool, along with three bars and a Trading Post. We didn't do any of the water items because we didn't come dressed for that. The decor is a mix of rustic West Indian, African, and Cuban. Everyone has to try one of the world-famous tropical margaritas—they're great!. The menu is based on American food (i.e. cheeseburgers and french fries). The later the hour, the higher the energy level. We didn't eat there because we want to stick to the food at our all-inclusive resort. I know, I'm cheap. At night, there is reggae/disco style dancing. Overall, it's a fun place to spend a night. Many of the all-inclusive resorts provide transportation to and from Margaritaville throughout the night so it's a good way to enjoy an island night.

This is by far the best restaurant I have ever been to for atmosphere! When you walk in you first see the bar area, most people are standing around it but there are some seats, to one side is the retail shop, to the other side is half a boat that houses the DJ along with an open area that I assume is intended to be a dance floor. Looking ahead from the bar are some tables and a walkway that goes out to the beach, which you can use while dining along with the swim pads in the water. The tables on the main floor are crowded, mostly out in the sun but all have umbrellas. To the right of the bar is a pool, yes inside the restaurant, along with a tube spiral slide that comes down from the second floor.

The upstairs was almost empty but it appeared as though they were setting up for a party. More tables, and another bar, all open to see out to the ocean. It was like a giant tiki hut! The only complaint I had was the size of the bathrooms. I cannot imagine how crowded this place would be later in the evening but the women's room only had 2 stalls and no standing room! Again we did not eat here but everything that passed us looked and smelled great!
Located inside the Island Village shopping center a short walk from the port.
