Jimmy
Buffett's Margaritaville Ocho Rios has
proven to be a big hit with cruise ship
passengers, locals and stop-over visitors.
Opened in
February 2002, Ocho Rios
Margaritaville was formally christened by
Jimmy Buffett himself when he and his band
staged a beachside concert in front of an
audience of loyal parrotheads, lucky
tourists and local Jamaicans.
Ocho Rios
Margaritaville is the biggest Margaritalville ever;
located in prime position on the beach at
the Island Village shopping and
entertainment complex, just steps away from
the cruise ship pier.
Ocho Rios Margaritaville is a high-energy
bar & grill, providing all-day family fun
and nighttime entertainment. Features
include a beach, rooftop whirlpool tub, a 2-story
100 foot long waterslide that soars above
the main bar and plunges into the freshwater
pool below and 3 bars, including a swim-up
pool bar, and Margaritaville's Trading Post
gift shop...offering exclusive Jimmy Buffett
memorabilia and gifts for the folks back
home.
Throughout the restaurant the décor is
"rustic Caribbean", using sun-bleached
colours and casual furniture. Downstairs,
the ambience is beachy and relaxed by day,
urban and "nightclub-y" by night. Mosaic
tile and wrought iron accents on the upper
level lend an intimate and sophisticated
Afro-Cuban feel to a Havana Day Dreamin'
bar and lounge.
