  Doggie Heaven

  Dogs are treated extra sweet at this Holiday Inn. There are dogs everywhere you look enjoying the beach with their owners. We will be taking our little ones there again for sure.

  Great location; very pet friendly but exorbitant fees.

  I am torn about writing this review. The room was clean, bright and very pet friendly. The location cannot be beat (oceanfront with easy access from your room to the beach). Plenty of parking. Unfortunately, management was not happy that I booked on Fido.com and has been unwilling to assist me with a billing dispute. I was charged twice for taxes and resort fees and the hotel failed to disclose a $1.75 "tax" on the $25.00 pet fee. Here is my breakdown of fees/taxes for ONE night: $34.00 in taxes and fees on the Fido site and then the hotel charged me another $43.80 for "taxes and resort fees" ! This is on top of the $8 entry fee you must pay to enter the island. $85.80 in taxes, entry fee's and resort fees...not including your nightly room rate.

  Beautiful location

  We stopped here on our way to Florida. The hotel staff was friendly, the beach literally a very short walk from the hotel. The walk path is great also. We were only here overnight so I can’t comment on food/drinks etc as we did not leave our dogs alone in the room. Beautiful island, I would definitely recommend spending more time here.

  Always great but beware of sandspurs

  We have been here twice over the past few years and we've always had an incredible experience. We were upgraded to an oceanfront suite (we will book that room in the future as the room goes from the parking lot to the back lawn with doors at both ends. There are fire pits and access to the beach/water. When high tide is in, the water goes right to the steps so time your walks accordingly. There are sandspurs throughout the grassy areas so be aware and careful that your pup doesn't step in any (they hurt). We love this hotel!

  great dog trip

  We found this hotel through BringFido. This hotel was great. We have a large dog and there was no problem. The room was amazing and all the other dogs we met were great. The staff was great and the pool bar as well as the restaurant welcomed our dog. We will come back.

  Second stay at the Holiday Inn Resort

  We just finished our second stay here with our 2 large dogs. Everybody was very welcoming, from the front desk to housekeeping. The on-site restaurant allows dogs on their covered porch, and there are 2 restaurants (Tortuga Lacks and Red Bug Motors Pizza) within 1 mile that allow large dogs on their patio. The hotel is right on the beach, and there is a nice pool (but dogs aren't allowed there). We will definitely come back!

  Dog Owner’s Getaway

  We booked this resort based on a recommendation from a previous dog owner and it was perfect for those with large dogs like us. There were plenty of places to walk them and take them to the beach. They enjoyed it and we were able to take them to eat in several places nearby. The rooms were so spacious they even got some playtime inside. Would highly recommend the ocean view room so you can walk your dog right outside your door. Everyone was friendly and service was great! We definitely will be making a return trip in the future.

  Great Location

  We had an ocean view room and it was so relaxing! Our puppy enjoyed every moment too! Only worry was the damp feeling in the room.

  Highlight of our trip!

  5 paws up to this dog-friendly hotel! We were so pleased with Holiday Inn Jekyll Island! The room was an absolute perfect room for our family and Golden Retriever. We could easily access the car from one entrance and easily access a porch from the ocean-side entrance. The dog rooms were together and we had such a great time interacting with all of the other dogs and their parents! Phoebe even made a new best friend Go-Sha. There were so many areas to walk with our pup and the beach was expansive with a nice, calm, shallow ocean. We will definitely plan a trip back to the Holiday Inn Resort, Jekyll Island!

  Road trip fun with our Golden

  We stayed at this hotel with our dog for two nights. Our room was a first floor deluxe double queen with ocean view. It had its own entrance and a private patio on the ocean side. The hotel grounds were great for dog walking as was the adjacent beach. We had lunch at the hotel restaurant, called Beach House, on the patio with our dog- very dog friendly service. We went to Happy Hour with our dog at Tortuga Jack's, just a short drive away. Can't beat the margaritas and food there. Jekyll Island was a delightful surprise, don't miss Driftwood Beach, the Turtle Rehabilitation Center, and the Historic District. If you enjoy biking, golfing, and beach walking, this is your spot.

  Super Dog Vacation

  We had a GREAT stay with our 2
  Great Danes. Our room opened beachfront with paths to the beach. Off lease as long as under your control. No dune walking signs quite evident and brush can be hard on both you and dog so be mindful. All that said it is FABULOUS for your dogs to romp free.. watch for low tide times to enjoy all the beach has to offer. Holiday inn was great with accommodating! Never felt our big dogs were anything but welcome.

  Fantastic place!

  My husband, dog, and I just got back from a week long stay here and we LOVED it. The rooms were clean and spacious, the oceanfront view was beautiful. There were a lot of dogs there which we were happy to see. This is a wonderful hotel and Jekyll Island is a great beach. We will definitely be going back, hopefully soon!

  Great for dogs

  I just stayed at the Holiday Inn with 2 dogs in May, 2016. We were on the 2nd floor and had a nice ocean front view of the beach. I was surprised they would give pet rooms higher than the 1st floor. The room was clean and didn't smell "doggie". Pet Fee was $20 per night. We were warned to stay on the paths to avoid burrs. There are a couple pick-up stations with baggies and everyone seemed to be very diligent about picking up after their pet.

  fantastic place!

  We loved this place. Went for just a night, but would go back for longer. Incredibly dog friendly - which was our main goal - but also kid friendly, clean, comfortable, attractive. And lovely beach area. The only draw back was the food - just fine, not great - but the staff was so friendly while serving it we really enjoyed our whole stay.

  Very dog friendly

  Room was clean, staff extra friendly. Super dog friendly and right on the beach. My dog had so much fun playing and exploring.

  Watch Out!

  This is on a beach but the beach is 100 yards from the room and between that and the rooms is long grass. As a tourist, I was unaware of the fact that the grasslands in between are actually on dunes. There were no signs to stay off that I could see (until later when I was at least 100 yards to the north of our room by the lobby). My dogs and I walked towards the ocean from our room and immediately noticed sharp pain in our feet and legs..."spurs" or ground cover cacti! I had to carry one dog back to the room and it took hours to pick out the horrible painful needles. Had there been more signs I would have respected the warning, believe me but there were none as far as the eye could see. The hotel was only partially lit that night and the section we were in was in darkness, making it hard to get back from the pool bar in the dark. There was nobody at the front desk to check me in except two individuals located elsewhere in the lobby, one of whom, "the activity manager" ignored me on checking in and the other said she would help but was "off the clock". After the cactus incident, I called the front desk to complain about the lack of signage and was unsympathetically, almost sternly, lectured about staying off the dunes. All in all, the experience was most unpleasant and I will not be returning!
