An article in the Pensacola Business Journal discusses the new Margaritaville Beach Hotel in the Florida panhandle, plus plans for the future:

The much-anticipated opening of Jimmy Buffett’s first Margaritaville Beach Hotel is set for the first of July, said Jim Wiseman, the singer-songwriter’s development partner.

The Pensacola Beach Gulf-front hotel, developed by Marilyn Hess’ Little Sabine Inc., plans to start taking reservations June 17.

“July 1 looks good for an opening,” Wiseman said. “We want to make sure we’re open for July 4 weekend.”

The $50 million, 162-room hotel is the first of three planned for the franchise, Wiseman said.

Wiseman is working on development of a second Margaritaville Beach Hotel in Myrtle Beach, S.C., and the third planned for Hollywood in South Florida.

Buffett’s original plans were to open the first hotel in Hollywood, but changed his mind after a rapid-fire round of negotiations with Hess this spring.

    Looks way too fancy to be a “”"Margaritavile”"” vacation for me

    but then my view of Maragritaville is probably what Jimmy’s used to be

    It aint about the talent
    It aint about the skill
    Its all about the silly stupid horseshit deal!

    Myrtle Beach needs the magic of Buffet and the awesome brand he brings with his Margaritaville operations to inject life back into our market. He is a perfect fit for Myrtle Beach and we have won the lottery!

    I would never stay in a Hotel with Buffett Obamas name on it. Maybe it will go broke just like his resturant chain.

    JR! Dude!! How are you??? Nice to see some activity out of you after all these years.

    Hey Jimmy Buffett fans,
    I agree Mark. Everybody in Va. Beach resents him because he won’t play here anymore. He will not play at a venue who’s local government will not allow tailgate parties in the parking lots. We are being held as hostages! You would think that JB would want to rescue us from the tyranny and oppressive government that we have been subjected to.
    Free Us Jimmy Buffett……Come back to Va. Beach!!!
