Quick Verdict: Margaritaville Resort Cape Cod vs The Island Inn on Martha's Vineyard

When Margaritaville Resort Cape Cod wins: pick Margaritaville for maximum on-site amenities — a 30,000 sq ft indoor water park (pass required), multiple pools (including a year-round heated outdoor pool, lazy river, children’s pool and hot tub), a full-service St. Somewhere Spa, and several casual restaurants and bars. It’s the better choice for families who want resort programming and entertainment on site.

When The Island Inn on Martha’s Vineyard wins: choose The Island Inn if you want to stay on Martha’s Vineyard near Oak Bluffs, prefer a smaller property with cottage-, condo- and studio-style rooms, and plan to spend more time exploring island beaches, trails, and town life rather than using big resort amenities.

Bottom line: Margaritaville is the amenity-heavy mainland option for family fun and spa services; The Island Inn is the lower-key island alternative that places you closer to Oak Bluffs beaches and island attractions.
