6.6/10 (1,373 reviews)

The building is beautiful and is situated right by the St. John's Riverwalk and the Friendship Fountain, which are gorgeous. It was quiet and the room was clean. However, the bathroom was very small and the tub/shower was very awkward and difficult to get in and out of safely. There was no counter space and it was difficult to get hot water without losing water pressure. There was no refrigerator in the room and no streaming options on the TV. Overall, since we had other things to do in Jax and spent a limited amount of time in the room, we just dealt with it, but it was far from the best hotel experience I've had.

8.4/10 Very Good! (1,071 reviews)

This resort is clean and well maintained. It was perfect to celebrate our anniversary! It’s right on the beach but still has a pool. It was very quiet and peaceful! The only downside is that it’s about 20 minutes away from downtown. We wanted to have dinner watching sunset, so we went to Brett’s Waterway Cafe at the marina by downtown. But there are restaurants on site. I would love to visit here again with my family. They have put put golf, pickleball courts, tennis courts and golf courses. The beach here is amazing! I definitely recommend this place!
