Venues & Event Spaces near Jekyll Island, GA

“Planning my wedding at The Westin was incredible! Working with Missouri was such a treat, and I will never forget how she went above and beyond for us on our day and leading up to it. The food was incredible and the employees working our wedding were also so incredible and accommodating. Lisa was so kind and also went above and beyond for us. We are so happy with how everything turned out. It was absolutely without a doubt, the best day of our lives. Thank you, Missouri, and everyone at The Westin! We will be back soon to celebrate our marriage and lives together!”

“There’s a lot of chatter about this hotel, and after staying there for a couple of nights I can understand the mixed reviews. I don’t think any of these reviews are “wrong” in their assessments, but it all comes down to what you value, how you set your expectations, and maybe a little bit of luck.Heres what I loved about the Holiday Inn Resort on Jekyll Island - because of the way the hotel was built motel style parallel to the ocean, all of the rooms (save those behind the new restaurant being built) have an amazing ocean view. You can watch the sunrise over the ocean from most room windows, the attached patio or balcony, or take a short stroll to the beach. The lobby and common area are nicely appointed and there’s the most adorable and lovely lady (Linda) who serves coffee to guests on the third floor in the mornings (with pastry like items for purchase). The restaurant next door serves a buffet breakfast and while the service is slow the food is decent and the screened in porch is divine in the morning sun. They lit the fire in the fire pit each night (doesn’t warm you but looks pretty and is a nice place to socialize with other guests) and the pool was warm. They also played an outdoor movie on Friday night that would have been very fun had it been warmer while we were there. My daughter had fun playing on the little playground by the pool. I found the front desk staff to be courteous and always available to help. I am pregnant and thought the beds were very comfortable and medium soft. The sheets and pillows were in good shape and clean too. The rooms are pretty large and have a small kitchenette area with a mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker. All of the guests we met were nice people and seemed to be having a good time. This is a great hotel for families.All that said, yes the rooms are worn down and they could have been cleaner. They need plumbing work and ultimately the rooms (and bathrooms in particular) need a renovation.* Part of the problem is that the foot wash from the beach is rusted out completely so sand gets tracked into tubs and the pool. While the pool water seemed well treated (i think it’s a salt water pool) it desperately needed to be vacuumed. Some of the pool cushions and seating were tattered or frayed, which is a little thing with a big impact on the overall appearance of the place. There was a cigar butt on the window sill of our room when we arrived and one of the towels had tooth paste on it. Kinda gross but not a vacation ruining experience unless you let it be.In summary, this hotel is really a fantastic value for a beach front room on a gorgeous island. If you are a looking for a high end, spa-like resort, then you should stay at the club resort on the western side of the island. If you are looking for an unfussy, laid back vibe and can overlook a few things, you’re going to love it here, just as we did!*The consideration in renovating these rooms is that it will surely make this hotel more expensive. One can’t have it all!Suggestions for management - fix the foot wash by the beach, invest in plumbing maintenance, get the pool area spruced up, consider having housekeeping clean rooms every other day so they have more time to ensure rooms are very clean between guests (especially with more attention paid to bathrooms).”

“This is like a pinball museum. Kelley and Karen have put together a one of a kind pinball and game room (and bouncy room) experience. If you played pinball as a kid / teenager like me, you will definitely want to visit the Pinball Palace. The best thing is that no quarters necessary as you pay a flat rate of $12.00 per hour of play.”

“When we decided to have an out of town wedding on St Simons, we had no idea where we would be getting married. We looked at a lot of different venues, but as soon as we laid eyes on Village Creek we knew that we had found the one. The views are amazing, and it was the perfect place for the laid back wedding that we wanted.

Having an out of town wedding came with a lot of questions, and Shasta was always there to
answer them quickly. We couldn’t speak more highly of her or the rest of the staff during our wedding. For anyone planning a wedding on St Simons, Village Creek Landing should be at the top of your list!”

“First time in this store, and it definitely will not be the last, the staff was extremely friendly and I was assisted almost immediately upon walking into the store, the very kind lady was patient and so so sweet and helped me find everything I needed quickly. Also, pricing was very affordable for the high quality costumes and decor. Love this place and I will be coming back!”

“The grounds are beautiful. The room layout is wonderful and the amenities in the room are great. The downside is the pillow I slept with had a musty smell. We enjoyed our overall stay on the island and would stay again.”
