Another New Video Out On Margaritaville Island Reserve Riviera Maya

This new Margaritaville Island Reserve Riviera Maya all-inclusive resort is a beauty!  Take a look at a new video done by 2 Getaway Travel agency showing the grounds and the Land Shark Brewery…I noticed the beach wasn’t shown but that might be because of sargassum or something is not done yet in that area of the resort.  Another new video by another videographer also does not show the beach…hmm.  It’s almost a given that new resorts upon opening have yet to finish some of their rooms and/or amenities.
