10/10 Excellent

I loved this hotel, it was our first time to Amelia Island. We have two small kids, ages 5 and 2. Everyone had a blast. Property is awesome. As always the customer service at a Ritz Carlton is above and beyond. The location is great, short drive or uber ride in to downtown. Beach feels secluded. I gave the hotel 5 stars, but there is a couple of things that I thought could be improved or changed. First, as expected there was a resort fee, but there was an additional charge for umbrellas on the...

I absolutely loved our stay! It was above and beyond our expectations!! I wasn’t sure how it would be but I can honestly say I would stay here every time I visit Amelia Island! It was so clean, comfortable and very nice! They provided everything you could possibly need with toiletries and gave us a gift of water bottles and travel info upon arrival.

The grounds and lobby were very nice. I have stayed at a lot of hotels that start out this way and them the rooms do not measure up. This WAS NOT the case here. We opened the door to an immediate wow factor. The layout was great and the room was very clean and nicely decorated. It was very comfortable but most importantly...QUIET!!! Unlike other hotels, there was no noise from other rooms and minimal noise from the hallway. The breakfast selection was vast and very good. I WOULD SUGGEST THIS...

We had a truly wonderful time during our three day stay. The staff was always there and always helpful. The happy hour was so much fun. We met so many people and had so many wonderful conversations on that "happy hour" deck overlooking the ocean. The staff was always there to meet your every need - and the unlimited, complamentry beer/wine/snacks during happy hour was way beyond expectations. The only negative thing in the entire stay was the bed. I think the matress came over on the Mayflower....

After extensive research, we choose the Williams House in Fernandina Beach and stayed for one week, January 15 thru 22, 2017. Since this was our first experience of B&B, we were somewhat apprehensive before arriving there. But our worry promptly vanished and enjoyed an exotic atmosphere and wonderful treatment which were clearly much different from the regular hotels. The building and our room (Chloe's Garden Room) are filled with beautiful old charm and elegance, Thus we felt visiting...
