HYANNIS – Hyannis firefighters responding to an alarm activation at the Margaritaville Resort on Iyannough Road (Route 132) in Hyannis shortly after 10 PM Tuesday discovered a major water leak which caused significant damage. Officials reported a partial roof collapse in one section of the hotel from the water flow which apparently originated with the building’s sprinkler system. No injuries were reported. A building inspector was called to check the extent of the damage. Guests in that section of the hotel were evacuated and relocated. Further details were not immediately available.
Update: Margaritaville management posted the following statement: Hi Everyone! We can confirm this was limited to an isolated area of the building that is not part of any guest-used space. Out of an abundance of caution, that area was evacuated and secured, and we are working with the appropriate officials. We’re grateful to the Fire Department for their quick response. The resort and Fins Up! Water Park remain operational—we look forward to welcoming everyone!
