We had a really good time at this resort. Although we stayed here on a freebie from Marriott, they gave us a very nice room. The king bed was very comfortable; we appreciated the seating area and the bathroom was very spa-like (downside--no bathtub). The lobby was beautiful and the hotel has a contemporary-designed theme with a courtyard. The outdoor seating area is lovely and comfortable. Coffee shop on-site. The staff was both friendly and helpful.

However, one of the nicest things they offered is the free shuttle service to historic downtown St. Augustine. It ran several times a day and, considering the that hotel is located out of the city, was invaluable to those who don't want to face the hassles of finding parking on the busy holidays there.

The on-site restaurant was good and reasonably-priced. The staff was very friendly.

The only thing that didn't work out was that the pool's heater was out of service, so no swimming this time, but, after walking around the downtown for hours, the hot tub was heavenly on tired, aching feet.

In addition to the hotel, there were also additional restaurants, shops and, even an IMAX theater close by. We don't like golf, but would very much like to stay here again for the amenities.

This was a nice hotel but still had some problems. Everybody was nice when we checked in and we even got a discount for being a AAA member. We then decided to go and eat at their only restaurant. At the restaurant I ordered a Roy Rogers to drink (A mix of coke and grenadine) since it looked like they had grenadine, which they did. When I drank some of it, it tasted like they just gave me plain coke. I asked them to put a little bit more in, but it appeared they poured in the whole bottle. I sent the kids to go to the pool to check out the temperature, they told me that the main pool was freezing and the hot tub was the temperature that the main pool should have been. Later my kids were bullied by some Turkish girls that were chasing them around the hotel and calling them names they wouldn't leave them alone so my kids had to stay in are room for the rest of the day.

Very nice rooms but hotel is isolated. We just went for the night for our anniversary. We were not into the golf attractions and there is only one restaurant. . . but the food was good.

This is a wonderful hotel--totally relaxing. The lobby in the eight story atrium invites you to sit and relax beside a stream complete with river rock, bridge, and the peaceful sounds of rushing water.
The rooms are tastefully appointed. We had a jr. suite and it provided ample space with everything you would need for a spectacular visit to the property.
There is something for the entire family at this resort including a complimentary shuttle that transports you into town for the "Night of Lights" during the holiday season. A must see for the family. The shuttle drops you at the trolley headquarters and picks you back up in a very timely manner.
If you are in the Jacksonville/St.Augustine area, it just doesn't get better than this.
