Coming 2024: The Margaritaville Beach Resort Fort Myers
As the Jimmy Buffett song says, “It’s 5 o’clock somewhere…” and it’s getting to be that time in Southwest Florida, where the Margaritaville Beach Resort makes it debut early next year, featuring the brand’s iconic 5 o’Clock Somewhere Bar & Grill.
As if groups needed any more incentive to enjoy themselves, at the Margaritaville Beach Resort in Fort Myers, they get exclusive access to the Fins Up! Beach Club aquatic playground while enjoying near-constant live entertainment on an expansive sundeck surrounding a lagoon pool.
Yes, they might park themselves on the beach during their stay, but the property also boasts a spa and a Sunset Terrace—where watching the sun sink into the Gulf is a must—not to mention everything to do in the Fort Myers area, from touring wildlife preserves to strolling historic downtown streets.
But if they must get down to business, they can gather in the Compass Rose Ballroom, whose 5,000+ sf of indoor space can be broken into three smaller sections. Flexible floor plans, state-of-the-art presentation equipment and property-wide WiFi helps your meeting go off without a hitch.
Bookings for Fort Myers start Dec. 26: margaritavilleresorts.com/margaritaville-beach-resort-fort-myers-beach
