Rented Pool Cottage at Margaritaville Pool - Worth It?

[gatorphin]

Rented a pool cottage at the Margaritaville pool while we're in Grand Turk on the Carnival Magic in July.  Does anyone have have any experience renting these before?  We have 5 familes that want to use this as a base for the day.  Thanks.

Some will say yes, others will say no. We thought it was worth it. You won't be able to fit everyone and they may say something if you're all there at once, I believe they're supposed to be for 4 people. They're not that big. We had 7 people between 2 families at ours. But we knew the 2 dads & sons would be at the beach or pool most of the time, and they were. Myself and the other mom, plus their 20something daughter hung out at the cabana. It worked out great for us because the other wife had recently been diagnosed with cancer, and she needed to limit sun exposure and couldn't go in water more than her waist. So for us, split between the 2 of us, it was totally worth it!

5 families, you might try to get side by side cabanas. Alleviate the crowding.  There aren't for us as we're not keen on the noisy pool nor the overpriced, mediocre drinks and foods at MV.  But for families or groups or couples wanting more than just partial shade in a crowded lounger seating area, the cabanas are perfect.
