The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island features 444 oceanview guest rooms in a, eight-story horseshoe-shaped complex. Four Deluxe Oceanview Suites with oversized patios, 42 suites, two Presidential Suites and 43 Club Level rooms and suites are offered. A stay on the Club Level provides continuous "culinary offerings" throughout the day, including breakfast, snacks, beverages, hors d'oeuvres and desserts, included in the room fee. We found this level idea, as we could stroll down the hall for breakfast, pop in when we needed a snack or drink, and lunch in this oversized and very comfortable room with balcony seating.
Club Level rooms, located on the eighth floor, vary from 406 to 1073 square feet with coastal or ocean views. (Coastal means you can see the ocean if you go out on your balcony!) Standard rooms are 406 square feet, and suites vary from 840 square feet with a garden view to 1,073 for oceanfront or oceanview, and the super-sized Presidential Suites at 2,535 square feet. Standard rooms are available with two double beds or one king with a desk area while pullout sofas are available in the suites.
All rooms are outfitted with 400-thread-count Egyptian cotton and goose down pillows with marble baths and plush bathrobes. Snacks and a stocked mini-bar are hidden behind armoire doors that my children never discovered. However, it's at their level, so if you have curious children, you may want to ask the staff to remove the items prior to check in.
