Omni Amelia Island Resort

Atmosphere was nice, staff was friendly and view from our room was amazing! Our room wasn't ready when we arrived but were accommodated with free drink vouchers in the bar. Food was delicious but pricey.

I visited the OMNI in Amelia Island for a work Leadership Retreat. My husband and 4 month old were also in attendance with me and it was a great experience. The hospitality was some of the best I have ever received, the restaurants on the property were wonderful, the spa just recently reopened and that was amazing as well. Everything about our stay was a fantastic experience and it felt truly like a little vacay. The resort reminded me of my stay in Punta Cana Mexico a few years ago. We will definitely be revisiting the OMNI for a family vacation in the future.

We had a pleasant stay as the resort was beautiful and clean. The staff were superb and the rooms were exceptional. The buffet breakfast was amazing. Easy access to a beautiful beach was great!

I normally do deep hotel and vacation research- first looking at the worst reviews. I skipped all research unfortunately since I assumed that an Omni property would be very nice and upscale. We've stayed several times at the Omni Financial District San Francisco in the past and assumed the quality would be the same. I don't know that there's any hope for this property other than a tear down. The lobby and pool area are beautiful but the room layout is motel style with corridors open to the air. We paid for a premium 2 Q room but had to request to be moved. The mattresses were tilting and sunken in the middle. I don't ever recall staying in any hotel/motel with such poor mattresses. Our next room in the refurbished wing had newer, less worn out mattresses but the room was not up to normal standards for an upscale property. There was no separate shower stall- rainshower head was nice but above a bathtub. Toilets throughout the property were nursery school height- not sure what era they originated. Decor was just OK- room was slightly depressing. If you look at exterior photos of the property you might think the railings are balconies- no, they are railings for exterior open air corridors. Omni owner must not want or is not able to afford the full renovation that this property requires. They should probably sell to a global hotel company since "luxury" is no longer an accurate description of their properties. On the plus side, all the staff were extremely pleasant and tried to be helpful. Breakfast buffet was extensive and pretty good. If they have a summer camp for kids it might be an acceptable choice for families with kids who need some babysitting help. Fortunately, we were there on a weekend so not affected by the renovation noise.

The overall experience was great. Me and my wife arrived and from the check in to getting into the room was very quick. The staff was very personable and very helpful. We took advantage of the room service that is offered there several times as we were fighting a severe cold, maybe even the flu, but without the room service and politeness of the staff it would have made for a more difficult time being there. Our stay was for a total of 5 nights at the resort. EVERYONE at the resort was very nice and polite and helpful! The room that we stayed in was a little outdated, but they are currently renovating some areas of the guest rooms. The elevators were a little iffy, lol, as my wife would say, but they were quite old as well. Overall, we had a wonderful experience even though we were very sick for the first 3 days of our stay. I am already looking forward to returning so that we can get the full experience of the entire resort! 10/10 recommend!
