The four-pearl, beachfront Westin Jekyll Island opened in 2015 as part of a development that includes shops, restaurants, and the Jekyll Island Convention Center. It’s a modern and handsome hotel, with multiple dining options, including a rooftop bar. The outdoor pool has bar service (but not a whirlpool) and the fitness center is well-equipped, but there’s no spa, and guest are charged a daily resort fee. The hotel's 200 guest rooms are spacious and comfortable, but don't feel upscale, and decor is a bit drab. Standard amenities include flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, robes, and coffeemakers with free Starbucks, but there are no microwaves. Ocean views are featured in many, but not all rooms. Travelers looking for accommodations that include breakfast can consider mid-range Hampton Inn & Suites Jekyll Island, but it’s not on the beach.

An historic resort complex, the upper-mid-range Jekyll Island Club Hotel has plenty of Southern charm throughout its myriad, diverse rooms and on-site attractions. On its grounds alone, there are croquet lawns, museums, history tours, bicycles to rent, gift shops, five restaurants (the hotel's historic Grand Dining room is very popular.) There is, naturally, a pool flanked by a bar and grill, although the hotel's beach is a seven-minute free shuttle ride (or slightly longer bicycle ride) away, and the hotel itself is located on the river side of the island, rather than the ocean. The rooms and common areas have a decidedly Victorian vibe and are adorned with antiques and other old-world touches, but guests can still enjoy modern day amenities like free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs; it's worth noting that some rooms feel better maintained and more modern than others.

If you like your camping to feel more old school and less "glamping," then Jekyll Island Campground will suit you well. The 18 wooded acres are divided into 206 campsites as well as main areas that may remind some of summers spent at sleep-away camp; this no-frills but pleasant campground will let you enjoy the outdoors naturally while still providing enough amenities to keep you comfortable. The RV spaces include cable, water, and sewer hookups. Campers opting for the more traditional tent route can still use the bathrooms and showers on the premises, which are kept clean. The surroundings are dense with trees and it's very quiet…so quiet in fact that guests in some areas can hear the waves crash on the nearby Driftwood Beach. Though the sites are spaced a tad close together -- it can get crowded if the park is full -- there’s still enough open space for every camper to feel the privacy of the great outdoors.

Nestled in the woods, just a short walk from the beach on Georgia's picturesque Jekyll Island, this mid-range hotel is technically a chain, but it offers more perks than the average Hampton Inn. Modern, clean, and new, the hotel is quiet, and the surrounding oak trees make it feel a bit like your own private retreat on Jekyll Island. While there isn't much immediately surrounding the hotel -- except for nature -- guests can walk, drive, or bike to most of the area's attractions and amenities. The rooms are large and decorated in standard chain decor, with microwaves, mini-fridges, and flat-screen TVs. There's a large pool (although it could use better upkeep) with a poolside snack bar, and a nature path leads to the beach along on a wooden boardwalk. There are also on-site bike rentals and an ample free, hot breakfast in the morning will help fuel the day.

This budget property has a motel-style structure, with an 80s-era decor manifest from the lobby to the plain rooms -- most of which retain bedspreads and colors that seem not to have changed for decades. However, guests have reported the rooms to be clean with comfortable beds. Many are also satisfied by the easy beach access, swimming pools, and continental breakfast. The hotel is situated towards the southeastern tip of Jekyll Island and enjoys a peaceful location off Beach View Drive.
