Gonna definitely keep a close eye on this project…based on every-thing Jeff Eats has heard, read and seen (I took a look at the site-yesterday) this Resort is gonna be a GRAND SLAM!

Just hope, the developers “build” enough parking- Jeff Eats knows the area well and parking has always and forever been a bitch…

Opening Summer 2015
Inspired by the lyrics and lifestyle of singer, songwriter and author Jimmy Buffett, Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort is a destination resort and entertainment complex on the legendary, ‘retro cool’ Hollywood Beach Broadwalk in Greater Fort Lauderdale. Hollywood Beach is a classic Florida beach town that’s enchanted visitors since the 1920s. Often compared to quaint European and funky California beach towns, the character of this inviting area is all Florida. Evening strollers, morning joggers, bicyclists and roller-bladers share the brick paved, beachfront thoroughfare with those enjoying the many cafes and bars along the way.

With an extensive array of amenities and a high level of hospitality, service and attention to detail, the 349-room 17-story resort is the perfect setting for guests to escape the everyday and just chill. Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort brings an entirely different resort perspective to South Florida with its unique, authentic, “no worries,” tropical vibe and the feeling of escape that is experienced immediately upon arrival.

What’s your paradise? It could be as simple as a day relaxing under a beach umbrella or hanging out at the Tiki Bar followed by a great steak and a bottle of wine for dinner at JWB Prime Steak and Seafood. Or maybe you prefer active adventure with body surfing, paddle boarding and surfing on the FlowRider®. For some, paradise is a lavish menu of indulgent spa treatments to nourish the body and soul and escape the everyday. With seven casual and upscale dining and entertainment venues including Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville, LandShark Bar & Grill and the 5 o’ clock Somewhere Bar – there is a place at Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort where you can raise a glass and take a bite out of paradise. Whatever escape you envision, we are here to take you there!

Whether you’re looking for an exciting place to discover new adventures, celebrate with friends and family or indulge in a relaxing getaway, one thing is for sure, you will return home from your visit to Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort with unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime.

With an impressive collection of amenities for relaxation, recreation, dining and entertainment, Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort will raise the bar for resort activities in the Greater Fort Lauderdale area.
