Margaritaville Beach Resort on Fort Myers Beach has hired Bryan Detert as its new director of restaurant operations and Rhonda Decherd as sales and marketing director.
Detert’s journey to Margaritaville stems from a previous tenure as Regional Manager and Beverage Director at Tommy Bahama Restaurant & Bar. He said, “Transitioning from another lifestyle brand grants me valuable insight into the broader guest experience. Our patrons aren’t merely dining; they’re becoming brand advocates, and I aim to instill this ethos within our team.”
Decherd also brings a rich background in hospitality to Margaritaville Beach Resort, as well as experience in contract negotiation, event planning and revenue optimization. In her prior role as Director of Catering Sales and Convention Services at Mainsail Lodging and Development, Decherd was responsible for contract negotiation, revenue analysis and strategic planning. She said, “Being a part of this resort’s growth is an absolute honor, and I am eager to dive in and contribute to its continued success. With its stunning beachfront location, top-notch dining options and endless opportunities for fun, I can’t wait to help create unforgettable experiences for our guests and play a role in shaping the resort’s bright future.”
