This hotel was beautiful in every way. Located steps from the ocean, clean and attractive interior, pleasant staff, grounds as beautiful as the interior. Situated on the coast of Jekyll Island the atmosphere is relaxing, and the environment is just gorgeous.

We arrived to a broken screen door to balcony but maintenance was very responsive. One particular male staff member at front desk, as well as at bar, was rather rude.
Other than that, our stay was fabulous. Great location with lots of family-friendly things to do. Bike rides around the island, yard games, pool, hot tub, and beach. Breakfast buffet was great.

Can’t say enough good things about this place. Best hotel on the island for families. There is an awesome splash pad for kids, rooms were great (especially suite), breakfast had tons of options and tasted great, and resort fee included free bike rental and shuttles around whole island. 10/10 would stay here again.

The room was clean and spacious. The lobby was very comfortable and I loved all the lawn games and table games. Sad that it was too cold for the pool/beach but they looked lovely. Loved that we were able to check out bikes to ride around the island. The free breakfast was a nice touch but only basic breakfast offerings...but the food at the restaurant was fabulous. We went two different nights and were not disappointed. Overall, a great experience for a reasonable price. I'd come back again if I'm ever in the area.
