Top Coastal Encounters Nature Center Hotel Reviews

The Westin Jekyll Island Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location in Jekyll Island! Friendly and attentive staff. Clean rooms and amenities. Will definitely return!"

Hampton Inn & Suites Jekyll Island

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was truly courteous and we were allowed to check in 2 hours earlier which made our trip to Jekyll Island much more inviting and relaxing. In addition, we were given complimentary water bottles. And since both my husband and I were so thirsty at that time of check-in, we felt so comfortable right away. The room was huge and very clean and the pillows as well as the queen size beds were extremely comfy! The beach behind the hotel was so beautiful, clean and had privacy. Breakfast was sumptuous and had lots of options. Again, the staff made sure our needs were met. Great hotel for an island getaway!"

Residence Inn by Marriott Jekyll Island

8/10 Good

"Great location, right on the beach!"

Home2 Suites by Hilton Jekyll Island

8/10 Good

"Quiet and the staff very helpful very pleasant spot amongst other higher priced stays"

Villas By the Sea Resort & Conference Center

8/10 Good

"I had paid for ocean view expecting to see the ocean. However I saw maybe a foot of it between the overgrown shrubs. No big deal if I didn’t request ocean view as well as call to confirm ocean view. I did like that housekeeping did not bother you daily I also would have like to have known that Jekyll island had a pay to park toll every day. Wish that would have been added into the stay not an extra $49"
