Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 11 Oct 2010 rated 9 out of 10.

Nice hotel, very friendly staff. Hotel room was very comfortable. Only downside was parking being too far away and still having to pay for it. 3.5 star hotel should not charge for parking, valet yes and<BR/>regular parking no.

Positives: Very nice.

Negatives: Parking too far away and still had to pay for parking. Not sure why.

Lovely grounds and exceptionally helpful &amp; friendly staff. Excellent restaurants, spa facilities, gym, pool, and jacuzzi.

Positives: The grounds were stunning, hotel staff exceptionally helpful &amp; pleasant.

Negatives: Hotel itself is a bit outdated, architecture seems from the 50's.

Extremely beautiful and well kept. The people were very nice and helpful.

This hotel is spacious, clean, has a resort feel, wonderful pool area with 2 pools and 2 hot tubs. The atmosphere makes you want to relax. Pools are open until 11pm. Fitness center around the clock. The breakfast options are pricey - we ate in the restaurant only once and then went to Elizabeth's Cafe across the street where we got a wonderful breakfast for 4 people for less than the price of 2 breakfasts at the Sawgrass. Even so, the hotel is lovely and we were very happy there.

Positives: The rooms were modern and clean, the pool clean and open late.

Negatives: We weren't aware of $10.00 charge/day for self-parking.

Wonderful stay at hotel/resort with private beach area including cabana/restaurants. On site pool was great, mini-golf and bikes for kids. Playing the golf course was a terrific experience! Good for kids, business travelers, basically anyone wanting very good service.

Positives: Staff were excellent, friendly and helpful.

Negatives: Mildew smell in room, obvious mildew on AC vent.

The resort is amazing, especially if you are a golfer. The historic island green at 17 is worth the stay alone. The only thing I was disappointed by was the fact that there wasn't free Internet access in the rooms. Much cheaper hotels offer this, so why not a more upscale hotel/resort?

Positives: Great rooms, close to downtown Jacksonville Beach.

Negatives: No free Internet access.

We were only there for a very short overnight stay and were not able to take advantage of what this hotel had to offer. But it was so beautiful and the entire staff was extremely accommodating. Would love to visit again soon.

Positives: It was a sincerely beautiful property. Very well appointed.

Negatives: Nothing.

This resort was amazing, a great deal, but not geared for the business traveler. Charging $12.99 for 24 hours of internet is way too much and $10 to self park or $20 to valet. We would have been better off paying a little more for the Days Inn where we were booked, which included internet, free parking, and breakfast. This resort is for people with money that want to play golf.

Positives: At my price it was an amazing value, the staff was amazing.

Negatives: Charge for parking, internet, not good for someone with airborne allergies, perfume smell, cleaning products.

Nice place. Parking.

Positives: Very posh, upscale for this budget traveller. Heated swimming pool.

Negatives: No free internet access. Had to pay for parking.

Very nice facility which due to conventions and special events can get noisy and crowded at times. When not overrun with special events, it is quite pleasant. Beautiful landscaped grounds all to the ambiance. Very professional and efficient staff, ambiance.

Positives: Beach shuttle, miniature golf, bikes, beautiful grounds.

Negatives: Coffee shop too expensive, parking lot too far from entrance.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 28 Oct 2009 rated 9 out of 10.

Attractive facilities except for the entrance. I believe the entrance roadway should open into three or four lanes at the entrance to allow for parked cars coming in and out........seems it would be more efficent. The valet do a good job with what they have.

Positives: Gave the sense of expansiveness and yet had cozy comfortable places to be with friends.

Negatives: Entrance crowded and difficult for the elderly.

Overall excellent and good value.

Positives: Beautiful and comfortable.

Negatives: Nothing.

Went for business and it was a little bit out of the way for where we had to go everyday, but that is to be expected when using priceline I guess. This was much better quality that what we normally stay in for the amount we are alotted to spend on lodging.

Positives: Clean, well maintained and comfortable. Better than expected.

Negatives: Nothing is included (like continental breakfast). Everything is pretty expensive.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 25 Aug 2009 rated 10 out of 10.

Everything about this place is beautiful. Excellent service.

Positives: beautiful location, clean, amazing

Negatives: $15 continental breakfast

Beautiful hotel

Positives: Beautiful

Negatives: I don't agree with having to pay to park your car

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 04 May 2009 rated 8 out of 10.

It was good, they just need to tell customers when they are being charged for something like parking or a fee in case something happens to the room.

Positives: The view and easy to get around in.

Negatives: Charging money for parking and damages if they were to occur and not telling me.

Great lobby bar and view.

Positives: The grounds were beautiful.

Negatives: I

I wanted to park my own vehicle and the parking lot a long way from the hotel. No in room fridge (honor bar system). They delivered one but it was noisy and small. The coffee maker is one cup at a time. I prefer the 2-4 cup style. There was no free coffee service in the lobby. It seems the services and amenities are out dated for my taste.

Positives: Plasma/LCD TV.

Negatives: Self parking lot distance, no fridge in room, coffee maker.
