Insider Tips

The official Margaritaville Resort listing currently shows 11 AM–10 PM Monday through Thursday and 11 AM–midnight Friday through Sunday, noting that hours are subject to change. Other current listings show slightly different Sunday hours, so checking the official schedule before visiting is worthwhile.

Because Daiquiri Shack & Grill is right on the Parkway, consider allowing extra time for traffic during busy Smoky Mountain travel periods. If your group wants a table with the best outdoor or river-facing experience, visiting earlier may also give you more flexibility.

Stay Hello Sunshine Tip

After an afternoon at Daiquiri Shack & Grill Margaritaville Gatlinburg, come back to Sunshine Around the Bend and trade the downtown energy for your own private mountain setting. Gather around the fire table, soak in the hot tub, or settle onto the wraparound deck with the wooded views and let the evening slow down.
