Margaritaville Hotels & Resorts: Championing Autism Awareness and Inclusion 

At Margaritaville Hotels & Resorts —including our Camp Margaritaville and Compass Hotel properties— we believe paradise is for everyone. That’s why we are proud to support Autism Awareness Month by recognizing the efforts of our incredible team members who have undergone extensive training through Autism Double-Checked (ADC). Nearly all of our hotels and resorts have earned this prestigious certification, ensuring that families and individuals with autism feel welcomed, understood, and supported when they visit any of our island-inspired getaways. 

By embracing training that goes beyond standard hospitality practices, we’ve taken a proactive approach to make our resorts and hotels inclusive for all. From check-in to check-out, we strive for every guest to feel at ease and enjoy a stress-free experience. 

What is Autism Double-Checked (ADC)? 

Autism Double-Checked (ADC) provides job-specific training to ensure our Margaritaville team members are fully equipped to assists guests on the autism spectrum in real, everyday situations with confidence and care. This web-based program is designed to give employees the tools and knowledge necessary to create a welcoming environment for guests on the autism spectrum. Every team member at our certified properties is required to complete these specialized courses, ensuring we meet and ideally exceed expectations. 

For a property to achieve Autism Double-Checked certification, it must meet the following requirements: 

  • More than 75% of the team must complete ADC’s certification programs.  
  • The property must submit a property-specific visitor guide to be hosted on the ADC website. 
  • The leadership team must continuously maintain the ADC portal to ensure ongoing education and compliance. 

With these key components in place, Margaritaville Hotels & Resorts is setting a new standard for autism-friendly hospitality.

Recognizing Our Team Members with Specialty ADC Pins 

In April, as part of our Autism Awareness Month initiatives, team members at certified properties who have completed their Autism Double-Checked training will begin wearing specialty-branded ADC Pins.  

These pins serve as a proud symbol of support, awareness, and preparation—letting guests know that we are knowledgeable and ready to assist families traveling with autism. In addition to team member pins, each certified property will display an ADC window sticker at its entrance, reaffirming to guests that Margaritaville is a trusted, autism-friendly destination.
