St. Johns County Hotels with Pools

We stayed at this venue for two nights for our trip to St. Augustine. The hotel was very clean and had been recently updated. The staff at the front desk were extremely friendly and helpful. We immediately felt comfortable there. On the first day, we went to breakfast at 9:30. There were no egg products available and a couple of bits of sausage. There were NO FORKS!!! We spoke to the person who oversaw the breakfast and she apologized and said there were no forks. I complained to the front desk and they agreed to take the parking charge ($20/day) from our bill. The following day, the breakfast was fully stocked, even forks! This hotel is a gem. Close to everything. We would definitely stay there again.

It was our first time staying at the Renaissance Historic Downtown Hotel. As we pulled in, we were Approached by the valet, who was very polite and kind. We walked into the lobby side door in immediately. There was a very pleasant and refreshing smell throughout the hotel. We immediately began to notice the decor which was very unique and impressive. As we approached the front desk to check in, the receptionist who was a young man, was very prompt and polite, and willing to share information about the area. As we went up to our room, we couldn’t help but notice the beautiful decor as well as how clean the environment was. I have been in the commercial cleaning business for over 30 years and pay attention to detail. As we opened our room, we were very impressed once again with how clean the room was and how nice the room was. To sum up this, my wife has put this on her list as her top favorite thus far and we have visited over 12 times. Thank you so much for making my wife’s 58th birthday. We had a wonderful experience

Great customer service. Rick was friendly, funny and helpful. Had a good sleep on the beds. Evening social hour, snacks,& refreshments were nice. Breakfast quiche was delicious! Very nice breakfast served,& view of water, awesome! I have two suggestions that would make my rating a 5.  The floors in our room were dirty enough to make my sisters new, clean, white socks black.  The tv remote fell behind the dresser/ refrigerator console. When I slid it away from the wall to retrieve the remote, it was pretty dirty back there. Shower may have been clean, but maybe due to the brown grout, appeared dirty.  We were questioning the cleanliness, after seeing my sister’s socks,& chose not to use the shower .😬 As a suggestion, putting some type of reflective tape, paint or lighting at the different step elevations . ( my 83 yr old brother in law missed the step, leading to our parked car, and fell, getting pretty banged up). Overall, despite the negative observations,  we enjoyed our stay, the location,& would stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay at the Hyatt Place Vilano Beach. It was a close walk to a beautiful, clean beach. We were told the pool wasn’t warm, but turned out it was! We skipped swimming because we weren’t aware until it was too late. The breakfast was great and well stocked. We paid a little extra for a balcony but the view wasn’t good. Don’t waste your money on a balcony. We paid for valet parking which ended up not being necessary. There is plenty of street parking. It was overall a clean hotel and very friendly staff.

beautiful hotel and food was good although we saw two couples leave angry because of more than a 30 minute wait for breakfast. staff present were doing their best but the kitchen staff couldn’t keep up with orders   from my personal viewpoint, my only complaint is the additional $25 per night for parking. it feels like just another way to squeeze the customer

First of all, I have no complaints about the hotel's interior facilities. The only thing that made me angry was the front desk staff who checked me in. He was a middle-aged white man. When I checked in, I noticed that the final payment amount was different from what the third-party platform had originally quoted. I asked him if there had been a mistake and mentioned the amount I should pay (my tone was polite and not offensive at all). Suddenly, his attitude changed, and he said, ”I don't care. You have to pay the amount shown in our hotel system. If you're not ready to pay, then step aside—there are other guests waiting. Don't argue with me.,take it up with the third-party platform.” His attitude was extremely rude, and I became anxious. After going back and forth for few minutes, I suggested paying first and asked if I could pay in cash. He refused, saying I had to pay by card. I became even more frustrated but eventually compromised and paid by card. Then he started being difficult again, claiming there was a problem with the computer and that even the final payment couldn't be processed at the moment, so he couldn't check me in. I was very hungry at the time and just wanted to check in quickly, drop off my luggage, and go eat. His stalling felt intentional, as if he was deliberately delaying my check-in. By then, 20 minutes had passed since I arrived at the hotel. I had no choice but to leave my luggage in the lobby, eat first, and then return to check in. An hour later, I came back to the front desk, but no one was there to assist me. I noticed him resting in a small room next to the desk and called him out. When it was time to pay, I asked again if I could pay in cash, and this time, he actually allowed it (absurd). I asked him to provide a receipt for the final payment so I could inquire with the third-party platform about the discrepancy in the amount. He became very impatient and told me he couldn't give me a receipt of what I paid, only allowing me to take a photo of a piece of paper that didn't even specify what the charge was for. I was really speechless—this was the worst front desk service I had ever experienced. The next day, the front desk staff was a Mexican boy, and his attitude was completely different. I guess I was just unlucky.

We enjoyed a balcony room and a lovely buffet breakfast each morning . The pool was good and had plenty of sunbeds . It was a relaxing week and we drove to St Augustine or the shopping malls or the lovely beaches nearby . Our favorite was Hammock park beach . A football team and their parents arrived on the Friday night and unfortunately they were allowed to run riot and up and down in the glass window lifts . They were very noisy and most guests were complaining . This spoiled our stay towards the end . Also the breakfast buffet was not available every morning and we ordered from a menu which wasn’t extensive in choice . The hotel is due a refurbishment as rooms are dated .

Nice stay. We had a queen room at the back of the building, so it was relatively quiet. Not a large room, but spacious enough for my husband and I. The rooms are renovated to update an old motel and they did a good job with the theme of the pink tropical flamingo to lean into that retro esthetic. Shower was nice. Only downside was that the room had a bit of a musty smell. When we arrived the sheets were damp. Not sure of it was high humidity which caused it, but we contacted the support staff and they resolved it promptly, having the on-site housekeeping staff bring new sheets. There is also a dehumidifier in the room, so it does seem like something they are addressing. Was also excited about the coffee machine in the lounge room as other reviews had noted for a quick cup of decent coffee on the go. I was satisfied with the fresh espresso, but my husband was a little disappointed that their machine wasn't making the milk based drinks properly (probably out of milk for the days we were there?) And had to use artificial milk/creamer instead. All and all a 4/5 stars stay.

Kept telling me I booked through another company. They had everything correct except my phone number. The staff was friendly and the room was acceptable but the inaccurate information does have me concerned.

The room provided wasn't 100% ready on our arrival the rooms advertised refrigerator was pulled out from its location with the door left opensitting on top of a towel collecting water that had been leaking for some time. Mint. Did respond quickly to the matter by cleaning up the watery mess and getting the refrigerated back into place. The refrigerator was plugged back in but eventually started to leak during the past 3 days of stay. The room did feel damp as there may have been high humidity present.
