The hotel

Once described as ‘the richest, the most exclusive, the most inaccessible club in the world’, the Club on Jekyll Island used to only welcome America’s wealthiest families and famous socialites, from the Rockefellers to the Vanderbilts. Today, this National Historic Landmark has been turned into the equally grand Jekyll Island Club Hotel, where you get a taste of its Victorian heyday and the highlife, with historic tours, croquet on the lawn, dinner in the Grand Dining Room, and strolls along the beach or in the oak forests where Victorian high society would have taken their constitutionals. It’s not all about the past though, you can enjoy modern pleasures like swimming near the river’s edge, and indulging in anything from high-end dishes to frozen drinks and fast food in the 6 bars and restaurants.

Nice place, poor food. Very few dining options that were good. Room was dirty and half the staff didn’t remotely want you to feel welcome. Room floors were dirty and although they did perform daily housecleaning, they never made beds nor actually cleaned. Just emptied trash.

After over $800 was debited from my account for a one night stay, Peggy changed my room reservations without consent after I asked her not to do that. I paid to stay at the Clubhouse only to end up at the Sans Souci Cottage in a much smaller room with hardly any cold air blowing (the air was cool not cold) which caused my guest and me to sleep… Read more
After over $800 was debited from my account for a one night stay, Peggy changed my room reservations without consent after I asked her not to do that. I paid to stay at the Clubhouse only to end up at the Sans Souci Cottage in a much smaller room with hardly any cold air blowing (the air was cool not cold) which caused my guest and me to sleep uncomfortably. I was there to renew my wedding vows and was treated like I did not matter. Read less

Couldn’t find reservation on check in. Put family in two different small rooms. Then found reservation at 9pm. No assistance with move. Pricing wrong on check out. Did not reflect Florida/Georgia pricing.

All of the staff at the Jekyll Island Club were outstanding. We attended a family reunion there with 63 family members and the dinners catered by the hotel were fabulous. The staff was so courteous and friendly. A special shout out to Kenneth Dallas who bartended most of our dinners- he had a huge smile and engaged in great conversation with us… Read more

The staff was so courteous and friendly. A special shout out to Kenneth Dallas who bartended most of our dinners- he had a huge smile and engaged in great conversation with us every night. We really appreciated him and are grateful to have had him with us many nights tending bar. Thank you for making our family reunion a great success😊 Read less
