Occupancy at Port Charlotte's Sunseeker nearly doubles as sale nears

As Allegiant Travel Co. continues to work on selling all or some of its Sunseeker Resort Charlotte Harbor, occupancy at the property in the early months of the year nearly doubled when compared with a year ago.

Allegiant announced late Tuesday that occupancy hit 70% in the first three months of the year. That’s up from the “roughly 40%” it reported just a year ago.

The average daily room rate for the first quarter this year was $284 per night compared with $330 per night during the same period last year.
