I just completed a stay at the Omni Amelia Island. Thanks to the fantastic staff. The Catering events were fantastic, the food good and the staff...

The staff were prompt, courteous and all had a fantastic attitude.

It's always hard to be upbeat during contruction and remodeling so kudos go out to all who made our event A+.

I stayed at the Omni Amelia Island for a business meeting in October. I liked it so much that I plan to come back with my family. The property is beautiful, the rooms were clean and comfortable. It's a 45 minute drive to Jacksonville airport. The food was delicious.Golf, tennis, spa, shops and children's activities are all available. The employees were very friendly and helpful. Service was of the same level as The Ritz or Four Seasons. Keep in mind that there is currently construction, but it won't last long and it will only make it even better.

My husband and I have stayed here before and had enjoyable times. This time is no exception; even though some parts of the hotel (e.g., the pools) are not available due to the renovations going on. Apparently renovations will not be complete until March 2013, or so. Amazingly, we have not been bothered with any construction noise. The room we had (504) has a great view and is spacious; bathroom is also fairly large for a hotel. A mini-refrigerator is included.

The shuttles to other parts of the resort are timely. The location is really, really nice for beach time. The exercise facilities are very nice; I notice that various classes are available, but I only used the elliptical machines. There are also tennis courts and golf courses.

Sunday evening dinner choices are somewhat limited in the hotel, but adequate. Several other hotel restaurants are open the other days of the week. And, there are many available in the nearby town of Fernandina Beach.

My husband and I have heard so much about Amelia Island and we finally got a chance to go this past weekend just for one night to celebrate his birthday... and it was AWESOME! I cannot wait to go back! We are currently trying to find some time to take our entire family back before it gets cold. Don't let the fact that they have construction going to deter you from experiencing what they have to offer the OMNI Resort. We could not hear the construction noise from our room at all. The only time we noticed is when we were walking out to our car.
First, I would like to say that I was a little nervous driving up to the hotel. The surroundings were not at all attractive, but is understandable with the major construction currently going on. When we arrived at the hotel, the bellhops opened our doors and offered to assist us with our bags. (I called earlier that morning to request an early check in and was told it would not be a problem.) Scott at the front desk was very nice and had our door keys ready for us. Very fast check-in. I decided to go up to the room while my husband walked with the bellhop. I walked into the room and noticed that there were double beds instead of a King. I called down to the front desk and told Scott that we reserved a King suite. Right away he told me that we can move to a room on the 5th floor that was available. He talked to the bellhop on the radio who let us in the King suite with his master key and the new room keys were sent up to us soon after. The beach front view from our balcony was amazing and breathtaking! The room was clean and the bed was comfortable.
We decided to eat lunch downstairs and Pam was very informative when I asked about items on the menu. Terry was our waiter and he was also nice and seem like he focused on catering to our needs. We went to the beach and it was absolutely beautiful! I could go on & on about the beach!! Dinner was somewhat "pricey", but tasty. Janet greeted us and showed us to our seat, while Renee was our waitress. Both were very attentive and we had a great time! It just seemed that the employees were happy and focused on making sure the guests were satisfied.
The following morning, we went down to breakfast, and I was a little disappointed with the bar. The food was good, but limited items to choose from. Overall, I was having such a good time; I did not want to leave! You are not treated just like another guest at this resort. Everyone remembered our names and kept wishing my husband a happy birthday. That goes a long way in our book!
Finally, I would like to extend a sincere apology to Scott at the front desk. When we returned home last night, we noticed on our original confirmation it listed double beds. So, I was wrong about our reservation, but Scott never disagreed, he just moved us to the King suite. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! My family and I will be back soon!
