Read on the hotels’ own pages through October 15, 2026, in 7 cities. A hotel counts as Margaritaville’s when its name carries “Margaritaville” or its fee was read on margaritavilleresorts.com. Another 3 Margaritaville hotels in our data could not be confirmed either way; a page we could not read says nothing, so they are in no figure here.

What Margaritaville hotels charge, and what they call it

There is no one Margaritaville fee: each hotel’s page names and prices its own. The names on the 6 pages that state one are “Resort fee” (4), “Guest amenities fee” (1) and “Hotel fee” (1).

By the word in the hotel’s own name for it: with “resort” in the name, 4 hotels, from $45.00 to $54.00 a night; with “amenity” in the name, 1 hotel, $40.00 a night; with none of those words in the name, 1 hotel, $22.00 a night, all before any tax added on top.

Margaritaville Beach Resort South Padre Island, near the middle of the range, puts it this way on its own page: “A daily resort fee of $45 plus tax is added to all room types”

For a 3-night stay that is from $66.00 to $162.00, $139.50 at the median, before any tax added on top.
