Jason and Michelle visited Margaritaville less than two weeks after the doors were officially opened to guests. In this series of videos they give a candid review of what was great, what was less than expected, and what still needs work. Jason and Michelle have stayed with a number of the Karisma sister brand resorts such as El Dorado, AZUL, and Nickelodeon. This experience affords them the unique ability to contrast this latest Karisma Resort offering against the key characteristics that have made Karisma and the Gourmet Inclusive experience an industry leader in all-inclusive resorts.
