The Lodge & Club

Traveling to Florida? You just can’t go wrong by stopping in the Lodge & Club. The gym is top notch, with a variety of free weights, benches, kettlebells, technogym elipticals, 2 stairmills, a concept 2 rowing machine, technogym bikes, & a few treadmills. There is a room where classes are taught as well. Men’s & women’s locker room each is equipped with sauna, steam & a jacuzzi. There is also an adult only jacuzzi & pool beachside , and a separate Olympic size pool for family located west of Ponte Vedra blvd.. Bebe & Denora are great at the gym & take care of guests & club members. Complimentary coffee is also available with babysitting hours, too. The Oasis is a real treat! An outdoor bar/restaurant with a great salad and fish menu, as well as a large drink selection located right on the beach, Linny is a fabulous bartender, and Alex manages the restaurant, & both are superb at customer service. If you have a special occasion or simply want to treat yourself, the dining room located upstairs has a fabulous view of the ocean.

This place has lost its magic. Overpriced food. Overpriced rooms. Overpriced beach rentals. Horrible service. Horrible very old beds. No value I'm sure most people staying here are acclimated to high end beds just like us - Or, at minimum, most people use modern memory foam because spring mattresses are the worst. Another guest told me that even Holiday Inn has better beds, so what does that tell you?? A lot of these things didn't bother us beforehand but when service starts becoming excessively unpleasant, you start wondering why you keep coming back. Too many of the good reviews are from people that aren't ever actually staying here. Ignore the reviews that are just from people attending banquets, and the members who are just coming to eat/drink. Also, on 12-27 why were there 3 bartenders and only 1 server for the day at the Oasis? The female server was working as fast as she could with a great attitude but it was obviously impossible to keep up with the entire crowd by herself. We're fairly certain the table near us said something because eventually the guy with bright red hair was helping with tables. But it was too late. Every single part of our dining experience was painfully long and unpleasant.

INCREDIBLY overpriced for what it offers. As a frequent traveler, I was genuinely shocked to pay $800 for a single night at this type of property! The hotel gives the impression of a motel that received only a superficial refresh and for that price point, the presentation falls well short of expectations. Most notably, there were cobwebs and spiders in the hallways and around our door, which is simply not acceptable at this rate. At a lower price, these shortcomings might be easier to overlook, but at this level, the standard should be much higher. On a positive note, the location was excellent and the staff were warm and welcoming — two things that genuinely stood out during our stay.”

Dinner at the Sea View Grille with family. Wonderful service by Erick as always. So attentive; delicious food; Sea Bass; Filets and 18 year Glenlievt made for a memorable evening. The view as always was oerfect.
