Don't let the fact that they have started construction on the main pool disuade you. The resort more than make up for that plus they have 20 more pools if that is your thing.

The resort is huge. Loved the Marche, trails and gym. Great service. You cannot beat this for the price!

We returned to the Plantation to celebrate our 25th anniversary. The grounds were immaculate. Our room had the best view of the pool and beach, The room was very comfortable and clean.
The quality that makes this resort so special is the quality of the staff from top to bottom. Everyone makes you feel special. Attention to detail is part of the DNA of this place. They really do go the second mile for you.
Room service was among the best and quickest we have ever seen.
The restaurants are excellent. Try the Oceanside Grill and the Verandah.
The shopping on grounds is also very nice.
They are breaking ground on an addition which I am sure will add a state of the art dimension to the resort which is needed. Our bathroom was a bit dated although very clean.
This is a very good value compared to similar resorts.

We went to the AI Plantation for a Pediatrics Conference. We were very impressed with the quality of service throughout. The bartenders in the lounge were very friendly and make a mean "Indian Summer", which became our cocktail of choice for the trip.

Breakfasts in the hotel are sumptuous, with unlimited amounts of grits, oatmeal, sausage, bacon strips, usually a special egg dish, fruit, yogurt, etc. Also there is an egg/omelet station for custom made omelets or cooked to order eggs. One day they had sticky buns which were out of this world.

The shuttle service to restaurants and shops was super convenient. At no charge, we could simply walk out of the hotel and hop on the shuttle to be taken to a variety of restaurants. The drivers were friendly too, and it was nice to be driven back to the hotel after some wine and "Indian Summers". Veranda had great fish, Falcon's Nest had fantastic burgers, and the Ocean Grill had elegant and tasty steaks, but also the world's best Lobster Bisque.

Golf at the Ocean Marsh was fun too.

My wife and I stayed at the Amelia Omni for a birthday "get-a-way weekend." The entire resort is located on the ocean yet shrouded under a thick canopy of native trees, shrubs, plants and flowers. It was easy to relax since most of the resort amenities (spas, pools, shops, golf, dining) are scattered across a vast network of well-lit pathways, trails, and roads. So, you had to think twice about going anywhere. I found that you had to plan your stay accordingly yet the resort does provide many forms of available transport and handy guides. This resort does pride itself on it's natural setting. Nature and exercise buffs will love it!
