Top hotels in Mandarin
Margaritaville Jacksonville Beach
Sort of looks like a best western from outside. But rooms very nice, furnished well. Staff great. Nice two level bar overlooking water. It was unseasonably cold when we stayed but other restaurants and bars within easy walk were open and busy.
