Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- March 2026 Palo Alto and 2025 Nashville, San Jose, Syracuse wins show strong demand.
- Mark George's 2025 commercial strategy hire signals sharper revenue, sales, and margin execution.
- 2026 leadership additions and promotions suggest a bench deep enough for continued portfolio growth.
What critics are saying
- Multiple 2025 lawsuits, including Sanchez and Standridge, expose legal and guest-safety liabilities.
- Palm Beach-based expansion depends heavily on Marriott, Hilton, and Mission Hill relationships.
- If outdoor hospitality demand normalizes, IHM Outdoors becomes a distraction, not a growth engine.
What makes Island Hospitality Management unique
- Jeff Fisher's team manages 70-plus hotels across 27 states and D.C. in 2026.

This encompasses RV resorts, vacation rentals, glamping and other outdoor hospitality options.The formal unveiling of the division follows the transition of five RV resorts to IHM Outdoors management. The properties contain approximately 2,000 sites and are located in Chula Vista, CA; Paso Robles, CA.; Santa Claus, IN; Larkspur, CO; and North Java, NY.“Outdoor hospitality is the fastest-growing segment in the hospitality industry,” said Gregg Forde, president/COO, Island Hospitality. “We have built a dedicated division for outdoor hospitality that capitalizes on IHM’s 35-year experience.

COVID-era restrictions drove a new clientele into the outdoor hospitality and recreation space, and the focus has been keeping those families and elevating their experience with each successive visit.”He continued, “The rise of outdoor adventure has helped shift focus to ensure we are providing top-of-the-line amenities with a laid-back atmosphere and a sense of community
