Jimmy Buffets Margaritaville Restaurant — Restaurant in United States Virgin Islands

My fiancé and I have been regulars at this restaurant. Tonight, as we left the restaurant, my fiancé and son-in-law, wore their mask as we headed to the door. Suddenly, a heavyset, salt and pepper haired white man attempted to berate me as I left. First let me preface my comment with four facts: (1) I take cover-19 very seriously; (2) I religiously wear a mask every where I go; (3) I practice social distancing, and (4) I wash my hands in accordance with CDC recommendations. When I entered the restaurant, I wore my mask; when I went to the restroom, I wore my mask. In accordance with the rules, I removed my mask during dinner. Upon leaving, I forgot to put my mask back on. Perhaps the two margaritas had something to do with my "slip up". Not sure. As I approached the exit door, the man described above, yelled at me from some 10 feet away, telling me that I have to wear a mask. This was the first moment that I realized that I was not wearing my mask. I replied, "I'm sorry!, I forgot! At this point, in a split second, I weighed my options. Stop where I was; dig in my back pack; find my mask and put it on, OR, take two more steps and walk out of the door. There was no one in front of me entering the restaurant. As I continued to exit, the man kept YELLING at me from 10 or more feet away.. "You're not wearing a mask! Wear your mask!". As I exited the restaurant, I replied, "I'm out of the door!". That man was still yelling at me as I was out of the door and headed to my car! As the owner of a popular New Orleans restaurant, I know that I would not want to have someone with such poor judgment working in my establishment. A gentle reminder to a faithful customer may from time to time be needed. But to yell from across the room in an effort to berate a customer is unacceptable. I may never return. I may never refer our visitors to frequent your restaurant. I believe that an apology is...

1st time here, beautiful resort but BEACH not so, seaweed, removal everyday, the smell is horrible! Do have lounge chairs, tables on beach for relaxing ..

There are two pools on site, hilltop overlooking sea, swim-up bar, lots of sun, very limited on shade, ground level with an outside bar, plenty of lounge chairs w/or without umbrellas..

Food very costly, menus, different p burgers, fries at outside bar after 6pm.. large portions, enough for 2 except for the BBQ Jerk Chicken, advertise 1/2 chicken more like a (pigeon) but was 1/2 chicken, very tasteful. Do highly recommend Island chicken salad, Volcano Nachos, Chicken Quesadillas. Had breakfast 1 morning, three egg scramble w/bacon and potatoes, more than enough.

Resort does offer trip to grocery, (Red Hook) if prefer to do your own cooking while vacationing. If get studio, ask for hotplate for your room!

Went snorkeling w/New Horizons Breakaway & Charters highly recommend Captain Danny Boy and Edwardo! Snorkeling, food and drinks Excellent entertainment…

Took a Sunset Cruise w/same company, Danny Boy Captain of vessel, (Snorkel Cat). Crew very friendly.. food and drinks again very good. Cruise very cozy! Perfect SUNSET..

Coral World near (Coki Beach) is an awesome place with or without kids. I’m not a diver but did snuba! (Husband is a diver) The instructor was very patient and friendly had been with Coral World since 1986.. Did not rush through any of the instructions before diving, made sure I was completely comfortable before going 20 feet below! Excellent snuba dive!

A must, shopping … do I need to say anymore! Went into Red Hook, bought our souvenirs..

All staff, very friendly and helpful in all ways!

A very enjoyable, relaxing Vacation!

Picture this, we rolled up to this restaurant on a beautiful evening after our first choice was closed — clearly an omen. After a soul-crushing battle for parking (not the restaurant's fault, but it set the tone), we arrived starving and full of misguided optimism.

Our hostess greeted us with the warmth of a DMV employee, and after seating us, we sat… and sat… for 30 minutes. Thankfully, a sweet server eventually rescued us from starvation and took both our drink and food orders. One drink was wrong, but hey, at least it showed up — silver linings, right? They fixed it quickly, so credit where credit's due.

After another 35 minutes — now over an hour invested in this dining adventure — our Blackened Chicken Cobb Salad and Combo Platter arrived. And wow, what a letdown. The chicken was drier than my sense of humor (on both the salad and combo), like it had been aging under a heat lamp since the Great Depression. The coconut shrimp skewers were so overcooked we needed a knife to cut them — basically shrimp jerky.

What really added to the apocalyptic vibe was the fact that out of the 20 or so tables around us, only one actually had food. Everyone else was sitting there with that same hollow, desperate look you see in waiting rooms at urgent care.

To be fair, the lettuce was fresh and the Lobster Mac and Cheese was actually pretty good — the kitchen can clearly cook when the planets align. But seriously, someone needs to figure out the timing issue and retire that heat lamp before it claims more victims. A little more care could’ve turned this from a tragicomedy into a pleasant evening.

I wish that this was a joke,...
