Top Driftwood Beach Hotel Reviews

The King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The staff is exceptionally nice!! Love the pool, always!! The food at Echo is very good!! The renovation is needed and look forward to seeing it!!!"

Holiday Inn Resort Jekyll Island by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Not the most up to date property but still a fun stay. It did feel like we stayed in the middle of some renovations going on."

Best Western Plus Jekyll Island

10/10 Excellent

"Property was well maintained just a small suggestion, they have individual bikes but because our daughter is younger we were looking for a family bike which was not available, if they can keep a couple then families with younger kids would love it"

Village Inn and Pub - Adults Only

8/10 Good

"This is a very nice property. With that being said, it was not exactly what we expected. It was more like a Vacation Rental By Owner with a pub than a hotel, having no help with baggage, no carts for baggage, no room service, etc. That being said, if a Vacation Rental By Owner is for what you are looking, this is nice, clean, and quiet; the staff was very friendly and professional. (Possibly, we did not do enough research before we booked.)"

Ocean Lodge Resort

8/10 Good

"We stay here for the proximity to the beach. If you want more concierge-type service, this is not the place for you. Our room was a bit muggy and the floors weren’t super clean but that’s to be somewhat expected for the beach. We love the location and that’s why we’ll continue to return."

Villas By the Sea Resort & Conference Center

8/10 Good

"It was a good stay, love the villas"
