Ponte Vedra Inn & Club

This is a lovely place but it is not a 5 star anymore. The service was lacking. Our room and view of a lovely beach was great but the food and other service was not good. At The Golf club, we waited 15 min to get seated for Sunday lunch, and 30 minutes to get the worst bloody Marys I have ever tasted. Clamato juice with an olive. The salad was ok. We sat with no bread or drinks for 30 minutes while our seat neighbor had two rounds of bread served.
Dinner at seahorse grill was terrible, they didn’t tell us it was a prefix dinner and wouldn’t let us a la carte or split plates unless we sat at the bar. So we moved. Then we’re told no splitting. Halibut was fishy at 36 $…crab legs watery and fishy… inedible. Watercress salad great though.
Check in was slow, employees stood around and chatted while we waited to check in and out.
We will never come back.

REVIEW is for the ROOMS ONLY.
The rooms are awful. They smell of smoke (they have a machine on site to «cover up» the odor) and do not appear to have been updated since the 80’s. We checked out after 2 nights at went to Atlantic Beach and stayed at 1 Ocean. Less expensive and better in every way. The ocean front real estate is not worth tolerating these rooms. Again, this review is for the rooms only. The Clubhouse, food and service were all fantastic. Nice for a visit, but stay some place else.

Posh but comfortable. Had a number of services from a variety of providers, all terrific. The best of all was a masseuse, Jenna. She was fabulous — of approximately one hundred massages, Jenna’s was among the best.

My husband and I returned for another peaceful weekend, and the Ponte Vedra Inn and Club never disappoints! The rooms are beautiful and service is excellent. Even with a «partial view room», one side faces the ocean and you walk into the sand within a few steps. The beds are the most comfortable I’ve ever had in a hotel…(makes you want to sleep in and order room service, if it wasn’t for the beautiful sunrise that would be missed.
The spa devices are second to none. Great packages for a «girl’s weekend» too!
Location is convenient! Local to major highways to explore Jacksonville…(we came to watch the Dolphins play the Jags. GO DOLPHINS!
Whenever you come, you will wish you could stay longer! Always a reason to come back!

We stayed in the Georgia House, which sits directly across from the main lobby, right on the ocean.
The view from the room is amazing. The room itself is a nice size and well maintained.
I found all of the staff to be very friendly and polite.
The only downside is the price. A breakfast buffet for 4 will set you back $ 86. A piña colada poolside is $ 10. A cup of coffee is $ 4.25. But with A1A only minutes away you could leave the resort for a meal or two to save a few bucks.
We stayed Labor Day weekend, which I expected to be busy, but it was pretty quiet. Nice family atmosphere.
If it’s within your budget and you’re looking for a nice Inn right on the beach, I highly recommend the Ponte Vedra Inn and Club.

If you’re going to stay along the coast in the Jacksonville Beach area, you might as well stay in the best place and Ponte Vedra Inn & Club is definitely it. Who doesn’t want to stay right along the Atlantic ocean in an elegant, well maintained and well appointed environment?
The rooms are meticulously decorated and has all of the amenities for those who are looking for a classy yet relaxing get-​away. The suite we stayed in had one large king size bed with a luxurious bathroom. The location gives you complete privacy from the neighboring Jacksonville Beach community and everything you need is available in-​house. Love that.
Our view of the green courtyard just below our private balcony with views of the ocean not far beyond that made our stay absolutely perfect. We were literally just a few steps away from the sand and the club. And just a phone call away if we had any special requests. Huge plus.
At the Club, you can get snacks and libations made to order and charge it to your room so there’s no need to bring cash with you. And the frozen drinks were perfect, tasty and strong.
If you want to enjoy the sand, they provide lounge chairs, towels and giant fans for your convenience. It’s like having your own private beach with a very friendly staff and patrons surrounding you. The staff here is one of the best reasons to choose this resort. Excellent.
Overall, we loved that we could order room service and have a beautiful meal delivered and set up right to our room. We compared some hotels a little more north and the PVI&C was a way better value for what they offer and their specific locale. And of course, the service here the entire time was top-​notch and worth every penny spent. I highly recommend staying here.

The service is top notch! Top Notch I said. If you stay here, the gym is available. It overlooks the ocean, has everything you need and more, locker room is massive. World class gym. The Surf Club pool, hot tub, lap pool, bars, restaurant are all excellent. The golf is a little pricey based on the amazing condition, so well deserved there. I just hit some range balls and that was good enough for this trip. This a place you should look at. I love it here. Will come back again. Oh yeah, the rooms in the Island building were very nice. Gorgeous rooms.

Very happy with my stay here.
Rooms were a good size. Patio and view of the beach were great! There is a mini fridge in the room but being your own cooler if you want to store anything– the design barely kept anything cold.
Room service was pricey but great. The burgers were delicious and they are very fast at set up and clean up.
The pool area was a madhouse but they do a great job of clearing out old towels which frees up chairs.
Food was ok by the pool. The kids loved the smoothie bar.

Love this place! Went for a conference but definitely going back. It is a hidden gem on the Atlantic, high class service with a cozy casual feel. Fantastic golf, tennis and spa. Perfect for the romantic weekend or family vacations.

Made for elderly which is fine. The jacuzzi closes at 10 pm. Service is mediocre at best. Take the A1A south to Miami and have a better time if you’re 24 – 40 years old.

The location of this resort is amazing.
The rooms are spacious and offer great views. However, the buildings are a little outdated and the staff are not as attentive as they should be for a resort of this caliber.

It had been many years since I have been back to the PV I&C, and while the facility is a nice one with many amenities, I did not feel like the service was there. Maybe it was the holiday weekend, maybe I can make excuses for them, but sitting in the pool area. I never saw a staff member bring a beverage or food item to a guest and we were there for a good 4 – 5 hours on Sunday.
There are many other private clubs in Jacksonville, and if you have a choice and option, you should look around. I thought the beverages were nice and the burger I had was good, but it would have been nice to have received some upscale service with our stay there in the club. Maybe we have been spoiled by other clubs in Jacksonville?

I’ve grown up at The PV Club and it’s one of my favorite places to go. You can’t beat the amenities or the beautiful beach. The golf is world-​class and all of the food is absolutely delicious! They have an amazing gym and spa too! Don’t miss out on staying here if you’re coming to the Ponte Vedra Beach area! Or become a member!

I’ve been here numerous times to play golf and just love the course and the charm of the staff.

***Ponte Vedra Inn & Club is a big resort and it is a good option for an exclusive beach going experience***
Ponte Vedra Beach is a nice beach near Jacksonville and this resort and club takes up a large part of it. Rooms are right on the ocean and some rooms even allow guests to exit their back door and immediately touch sand. While the beach is open to the public, the resort takes up a large part of the beach and does not really provide many great parking options for non-​resort guests so this beach is fairly quiet and not too busy.
The beach is a big draw given how big it is as well as how nice and smooth the sand is here. While there is not much activity at this resort, there are several options near the water for renting equipment or getting some food or a drink from the resort (you have to be a guest at the resort to use any of this resort’s dining or rental facilities).
The rooms are nice here. They are very spacious and comfortable and feature lots of pleasant as well as convenient amenities like a kitchen sink, microwave, in-​room safe, turndown service, multiple bathroom sinks, and a balcony (at least in some rooms). There were a few negatives though. I felt the A/​C unit was cool enough for the time I was there, but I wonder how well it would do during a brutal Florida summer. In addition, the A/​C was quite loud. The shower also did not have a curved rod so the shower curtain took up too much space in the bathtub.
The resort itself looks nice with the golf course, the lagoon, the lots of greens, and the ocean all conveniently located here. The majority of the buildings are not that beautiful though. Most of the guest room buildings have a fairly square and boring design (they are quite big too). Still, there are parts of this hotel like the main building that are very nice (the main building features a much more historical and unique exterior).
The resort’s size also takes away some of the charm here. It also means a lot of walking, which can be a plus or negative depending on your perspective; complimentary shuttles via extended golf carts are available.
Service is exceptional and the staff is very friendly and always ready to help out.
I do not stay on the beach that often, but the room rates felt reasonable especially if you visit during non-​peak times.
Ponte Vedra Inn & Club is best for a quiet beach and golf stay. If you are looking for fun non-​water things to do or good dining options, I am not sure what is available in the nearby area. But if you are looking for a more relaxing beach getaway, Ponte Vedra Inn & Club is a good option in Florida.
I believe self and/​or valet parking is offered here though I am not sure what the parking rates are.

What a beautiful resort! The Ocean view rooms are literally steps from the Atlantic. Going to sleep or waking up to the crashing waves alone makes it worth staying at Ponte Vedra. The grounds are beautiful as well. Lined with million dollar homes all around — the good life is definitely evident here. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. From check-​in to housekeeping to groundskeepers to security — everyone is extremely accommodating. The staff says hello, every time you pass by.
If the opportunity arose, I would definitely stay here again!

This place is not opulant and over the top, it is understated and as old school as it gets. I didn’t «get» this place immediately. But over time I’ve seen that the service is top notch. They are always on point. They always know my name and immediately greet me. They even greet my 5 year old son by name. They will bend over backwards to make you happy and it’s not fake.
They have done many renovations just in the past few years but stay true to the old look. The gym has an amazing beach view. The tennis pros are all very professional and friendly. They bent over backwards to help me improve my game and pushed me to join a team. And last but not least… the SPA! You don’t have to be a member to go and you can enjoy the pool all day and eat lunch there when you book a service. The nail techs really take their time and of course you get a completely different experience than the quickie nail places. They are genuinely so nice in the spa. The ladies that do my facials really know their stuff. The massages are better than those that i have experienced at any other 5 star resort spa before. They carry all the hair and skin care products that I love in the spa store. I could spend all day by the spa pool (if I ever had the time).
The only place I can think to compare PV Inn and Club to is The Breakers in West Palm Beach. It’s not as big but it has that same old money classic beach club feel.

Ponte Vedra Inn & Club will catapult you to a time when the women lunched while the men golfed. Well, that still happens. I almost hate to say it this way, but it’s very «old money» and I mean that in the best way possible! The Inn & Club is definitely a destination — and institution — of the beaches.
Many moons ago I was a member of the summer swim team so I spent many afternoons at the pool on the north end of the club. I’ve had dinner in the Seafoam Room. I’ve performed in the lobby of the main building with the local church choir at Christmas. I’ve hung out with relatives that were staying there & had lunch in the deck that opens up to the beach. I’ve worked out in the gym, running on the treadmill while staring at the ocean. I think I’ve done a little bit of everything except actually play golf.
I know several people that have had weddings here & all of them are amazing affairs. The Club really pulls out all the stops for a matrimonial fête. When I think of ‘old school’ country/​beach club, PV Club is the picture that comes to mind. I don’t plan to join a country club in my lifetime, but if I did, this would be it.

This place is so nice. They really pamper you with all sorts of treatments. I would recommend it to every girl out there. PS they will even do you manly men too.

A weekend getaway! It’s a little more on the classic side than it is the contemporary side. The food is good, the atmosphere is fresh and the employees are the best part! Very attentive, quick to solve problems (should there be any), and all around genuine people. Everything from the servers in the restaurants, front desk agents of the hotel, housekeepers making sure you have a restful stay, everyone is just AWESOME.
