| An experience of a lifetime, this hotel is truly a blast from the past! Nestled among the old homes of the rich, the Jeckell Island Club is a romantic getaway that has no rivals. Walking or biking along the water and through out the grounds, great meals, and a big wicker rocker on an old wooden porch. Who could ask for more?

| We go to Jekyll Island a couple of times a year to bike a series of bike paths around the island. We always time the biking to be at the Cafe Soltera for lunch. Don't miss the "farmer's pot soup" or the cookies! This time we were able to stay in the hotel; it's a fascinating trip into the past.

| Jekyll is a wonderful spot, service excellent and all people very friendly.... food however was very disappointing, the ambiance was great but could not offset poor efforts of chef, especially at a premium price point. stay there but eat elsewhere

| Room was tired and old. Looked shabby. Bathroom was even older. Hotel definately need an update. I have stayed in other historic hotels that were much nicer than this. The only thing that made it worthwhile was the great rate from expedia.
