8.4/10 Very Good! (1,104 reviews)
The Villas at the tennis courts had a very strange layout-couldn’t get in closet because bed too close, kitchenette in the bathroom. Pickle court behind villa loud-people playing before 8am. Check in and check out process not good-no maps available, printer broken, confusing instructions

9.2/10 Wonderful! (372 reviews)
Leticia at the front desk was fantastic! I had a health related attack on the way back from Atlanta and we decided to stay at the Ritz so I could rest.
We stayed at this Ritz on our honeymoon over 30 years ago, had my 50th birthday party at Salt with guests for a weekend, stayed there for our 30th wedding anniversary and had dinner at Salt also (I highly recommend Salt), stayed many holidays with our children and friends, car shows, and it is still such a wonderful resort.
You cannot go wrong staying at this beautiful resort. We have loved it for over 30 years and hope to keep going there for many more years to come. All of the staff is great, but a special shout out to Leticia. Thank you for helping us.

Reviews of Cumberland Island Ferry
4.4
Top Destination
5/5 - Excellent
Verified traveler
Cumberland Island National Seashore is a treasure with it's mostly pristine maritime forest full of beautiful Live Oak trees draped in Spanish Moss & the deserted natural beaches & dunes. Everyone who loves Nature will enjoy this place, just bring what you need, there's nothing to buy on the island & the Cumberland Queen Ferry is the only way to get there, legally.
5/5 - Excellent
Verified traveler
The ferry was awesome but the port at St. Mary's was awful because of the hateful attendants, especially Elizabeth.
3/5 - Okay
Verified traveler
The workers at the ferry port in St. Mary's, particularly Elizabeth, were hateful and rude. Getting checked in and getting on the ferry was confusing. The ferry ride itself was nice and the trip to Cumberland Island was awesome.
