There seems to be quite a few resorts, hotels, food brands, and cruise ships?
I believe I am not in the core demographic (AA female, 39) as no one in my circle seems to visit them, post on social, etc about this brand but would anyone care to loop me in on what the draw is to all things Margaritaville? I have heard the song but I am not sure by looking at the websites for various hotels what the connection is for people or the main draw. I saw the quality of the cruise line is apparently pretty terrible but with a massive cult following. Is it the same for hotels? The Florida ones seem pretty in photos? |

| Jimmy Buffet fandom is all about having a good time, relaxing, happiness, sunshine, and drinking. The brand is built around those ideals. |

| Idk the cruise line but the Hollywood, FL hotel is a very nice, completely normal hotel, lovely staff and right on the beach. |

Are you truly this dense, or were you just feeling desperate to be a snob on the internet today?
Lots of folks are fans of this particular brand of kitsch. |

Op here. Not at all. I’m interested in learning about what makes people drawn to these locations. What exactly is intriguing or exciting to them? Maybe it’s free margaritas at check in like Doubletree would do cookies, etc.. I’m trying to learn about the people who love it hopefully from people who have stayed at one. |

You're not going to find any Margaritaville fans on DCUM. |

Pretty much. It's for people who would live in The Villages. |

| Jimmy Buffett will forever be associated with Key West and the stereotype of a laid back beach life. All these place try to create the same type of atmosphere. |

This. I like Jimmy Buffett, and I'm in the right age range, but these resorts and things are for heavy drinkers and partiers who are 50+. |

+1 Come on, OP. Do you wonder the same thing about Disneyworld fans? Or visiting-sports-stadiums fans? Or national parks fans? Different people have fun with different things. |

I'll come to the defense of the OP because I've asked myself the same question. Your examples are more well known. The overwhelming majority know what to expect from Disney, sports, or national parks. I know Jimmy Buffet exists as a musician but I have no clue why he would have travel destinations named after him and who it would attract. Especially when there aren't other musicians with something similar. |

No! They would live in the Margaritaville retirement communities. |
