4/10
The property grounds are very nice. What you are not told when you book the room is that the hotel proper is separate from the many other properties on the ground. The Villas of Amelia Island consists of a hotel surrounded by many adjacent condo buildings. We were told the hotel "manages" the other buildings but they don't own them. So when you book the room, if it says it's a "Villa", you are NOT in the hotel... you are in one of the many other buildings on the property. Our "Villa' building had NO ice and was not very updated. The furniture in the room was pathetic, the television was ancient, and many things in the room were substandard. The room was described as "Villa, Ocean View, 2 Queens". In my opinion, you are paying for the view, which was very nice. The floor seemed dirty and the closet door was broken. We had to call to access the wifi... the directions in the room were incorrect. The room had coffee and fixings for coffee but no coffee pot so we had to call and ask for one. The mini fridge was tiny. The television was a small Westinghouse (that should tell you how dated it was) and it required 2 remotes to watch and change channels. The room was just beyond disappointing.
