While strengthening its commitment to inclusive hospitality and in honor of Autism Acceptance Month, Margaritaville has achieved Autism Double-Checked status in a growing number of its Margaritaville Hotels & Resorts, Camp Margaritaville Resorts and Compass Hotels.

The initiative marks a significant step in Margaritaville’s mission and ongoing effort to create hospitality experiences in places of paradise where everyone feels welcome.

Each certified property completed a two-part training program developed by Autism Double-Checked, equipping its team members with the skills to better assist guests traveling with loved ones on the spectrum.

Additionally, participating properties now offer a comprehensive Visitor Guide on the Autism Double-Checked website, providing sensory-friendly information, safety measures and planning resources for a seamless stay.

"Creating a welcoming, laid-back escape for all is at the heart of everything we do," said Adam Bocken, Vice President of Training and Development at Margaritaville. "As we honor Autism Acceptance Month, we’re proud to deepen our commitment to accessibility and understanding for neurodiverse travelers. But this initiative goes far beyond April – it’s about making a lasting impact year-round.”

The Autism Double-Checked program empowers hospitality brands to better serve the autism community through education, awareness and empathy-driven service. For Margaritaville, the initiative reflects a brand-wide commitment to removing barriers, celebrating differences and ensuring that guests from all walks of life feel at home in paradise.

With properties coast to coast and growing, Margaritaville remains dedicated to fostering acceptance, understanding, and support for those on the autism spectrum.
