"A seaside resort on a barrier island offering 446 sea‑inspired rooms and family programming that leans on the coastal setting: Pirate Tuck Ins deliver bedtime stories with milk and cookies, dolphin tours let guests act as citizen scientists using sonar to help marine biologists, and Ritz Kids programming features shark‑tooth hunts, beach walks, crafts, and naturalist-led classes tailored to young explorers." - Kathryn Romeyn, Devorah Lev-Tov
"A place where volunteers plant sea oats to protect the barrier island from shore erosion."
"Anticipate "stylish ambience, classical music overhead, and fabulous artwork in the halls" at this oceanfront resort on a northeast Florida barrier island. Shaped like a horseshoe, the eight-floor property is "perfect for a family getaway," overlooking sand dunes and an "exceptional beach." "Large and nicely appointed" rooms in soft green, gold, and lavender hues have mahogany floors and floor-to-ceiling balcony doors with plantation shutter panels, as well as "the most comfortable beds ever." Dine on beef tenderloin, Maine lobster, or wild salmon by the ocean’s edge at Salt, "our all-time favorite restaurant," or enjoy a more casual coastal menu at Café 4750. "All of our expectations were exceeded by the excellent service and attention to detail."
"An ecology-focused kids program centered on barrier-island stewardship that includes daily activities and full- or half-day options teaching reef and tree ecology, beach erosion, and regional history; the resort also runs guided Ecology Field Trips (replanting sea oats, historic-community visits, wildlife scouting) with separate pricing, and naturalists lead complimentary afternoon shark-tooth hunts on the expansive beach." - Michelle Baran
"A luxury hotel offering ecology field trips, bike trails, and historic site tours, located on a barrier island with a scenic downtown." - Travel + Leisure Editors
