Fodor's Review:

The first-rate golf, tennis, and spa facilities are big draws at this sprawling, family-oriented resort where accommodations include full-service hotel rooms as well as 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom villas. All hotel rooms are oceanfront with private balconies or patios, though 1st-floor rooms have a better view of the marsh or golf course than the Atlantic. If the sound of waves crashing on the beach doesn't lull you to sleep, the pillow-top mattresses should do the trick. Villas are privately owned, so availability, and amenities, and decor vary. With its ancient oaks, marshes, and lagoons, the resort is also a worthy destination for hiking, biking, and bird-watching. Pros: family-friendly; variety of outdoor activities; shuttle service throughout property. Cons: far removed from facilities (golf course, shops, tennis courts); quality of villas inconsistent; a hike to some hotel rooms.

Amelia Island Plantation is a great place to get away from it all. It is off the beaten path, but has plenty of restaurants to choose from if you do not want to leave the property. Beautiful location with most rooms having an unobstructed ocean view. Very kid friendly, maybe a little too much so, particularly at the pool. (You know you don't want to go into the water when there is a sign posted about keeping your kids away from the pool if they have recently had upset stomachs! Yuck!) All in all, had a great time and would highly recommend it.
