I had a mixed experience at Margaritaville Beach House Key West. While the two-bedroom suite was spacious and clean, the location next to the airport made for a noisy environment and the view left much to be desired. The pool area was cramped for the number of guests, and overall, it didn't feel like good value for the price I paid.
