For clients who love beach life, cruise life and everything fun in the sun, margaritas have a way of creating a beach vacation vibe, all year long.
So ‘Fin’s Up,’ fellow Parrotheads, because we’re venturing to Margaritaville Beach Resorts.
Margaritaville, famously associated with the talented singer Jimmy Buffett, has become synonymous with a unique tropical lifestyle. From the catchy tunes to the iconic phrases like “It’s five o’clock somewhere,” Margaritaville has captivated travellers across Canada itching for an island escape.
Now, under the expertise of Karisma Hotels & Resorts, Margaritaville’s all-inclusive resorts, known as Margaritaville Island Reserve Resorts, can be found exclusively in Mexico and the Caribbean.
Marilyn Cairo, VP of Sales for Karisma Hotels & Resorts, said the best word to describe the Margaritaville Island Reserve resorts is “fun,” highlighting their social setting.
“It’s a very social atmosphere,” said Cairo. “If you like hanging out by the bar and striking up conversations, it’s the ideal setting for it.”
All three resorts offer an array of dining options, including themed restaurants such as Frank and Lola’s and JWB Steakhouse, each with its own unique menu and ambiance. One standout feature is the LandShark Brewery, the only two in Mexico and the Caribbean, where guests can enjoy live music, sample craft beers, and savour iconic menu items like cheeseburgers in paradise.
The resorts also boast unique features, like the Joe Merchant shop, where guests can customize their in-room refreshment bar. With assigned points based on their length of stay and room category, guests can shop for their preferred beverages and snacks for a personalized in-room experience.
“We pay homage and reference Jimmy Buffett all around the resort, from the restaurant JWB as his initials to the Joe Merchant shop,” said Cairo. “Jimmy Buffett fans love uncovering all of these little details, but even for guests who aren’t as much of a fan, it’s not going to hurt their experience. They just think ‘oh, that’s a really cool touch.’”
Although they all share the same theme and vibe (and bottomless margaritas, of course), Cairo said each Margaritaville Island Reserve Resort caters to different travel preferences.
“Our resorts offer a balance between entertainment and relaxation. We have something for everyone, whether you’re young or young at heart,” said Cairo.
They are really taking Jimmy Buffett’s lyrics ‘growing older but not up’ to heart, eh?
