Just returned from the Omni Plantation at Amelia Island. Overall it was a very good trip. We had a standard room with two queen beds. The resort is great. Beautiful ocean views all around. Staff is great and very helpful. Overall a great place for a family ocean vacation.
A few things to improve: parking is kind of a pain. If you self park you must use their parking deck. Not convenient to anything. Also while I don’t consider myself a coffee snob, the coffe they serve on property (Stance I think) is almost undrinkable. Other than that, it’s a great place. It also handles big spring break crowds very well.
Hotel and rooms are very outdated. Room had a very musky smell. I could also here everything from the next rooms (entire conversations, baby crying). I could also hear noisy guests outside coming in and out. Property and grounds are beautiful as well as ocean views. Staff at restaurant and bar were great.
This was a very relaxing trip for a quick getaway weekend. We didn't have to leave the hotel, but we chose to check out the Saturday market and art fair downtown. We would definitely come back and bring the kids.
The property was under a lot of construction but it was fine. The pool area is nice and there are several restaurant options. The kids enjoyed the amenities such as min-golf, roasting marshmallows, pickleball, tennis, the playground.
Ladies at the Seaglass bar were extraordinary - just super nice and accommodating. Was in a room with an adjoining door and it was very easy to hear the TV/noise coming from there. Front desk did address it.

This is a beautiful property. The food and service was good. We did feel, however, that the hotel was maybe too big with destinations that were far away. We had to ride the "on demand" shuttle which was supposed to take 3-5 minutes but usually took 20 minutes. We had difficulty turning on the water in the shower on the last day and the blow dryer was lame. The walls were thin and we could hear a baby crying next door and people walking and talking in the hallway.
There was extensive construction going on and no notice was given of that. It was replacing the parking and driveway and roof work. It started at 5am and was right below our room. We were supposed to stay 6 nights and left after one.
Liked the location. Liked the amenities. Missed having free coffee in the lounge. Coffee in the room was scarce on supplies giving us only one coffee cup and limited creamers and sweeteners. They did however supply these things the next day after I asked. Very noisy and loud. Next door guests were playing very loud music in their room at 9 pm. An hour later there was knocking on the door and other doors by someone who was obviously lost. Doors to the rooms slammed so loudly. It felt like we were in a cheap motel. This should not happen in a place like the Omni. This is the most we've ever paid for a room and were disappointed in the low-class behavior of the guests.
Property is so beautiful. Christmas music was playing and the hotel decorated for the season.
Our room was well appointed, large and very comfortable. My husband and I had facials at the spa. Facials were top notch. We ate pizza next door afterwards for lunch. It was some of the best pizza we have had in a long time!
Spa and shopping are a shuttle away. We never had to wait long for the shuttle.
In the early evening we sat by the fireplace then played corn hole by the beautiful pool.
Room service for dinner. Food came fast and was wonderful! Boojee burger for me and creme brûlée for dessert.
We were excited about the breakfast buffet at the Sunrise Cafe. Although the food was really good the "buffet" was table side. Meaning it was a tower of food brought to the table with a custom egg order. If you're wanting a buffet with a large array of food that you serve your self (as we were), this is not it.
After breakfast, took a long walk on the beach. It was so quiet and peaceful. What a lovely vacation.
