[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pre-covid, I guess they kind of made sense. But these days, with limited housekeeping, spas still closed, limited room service, etc. - I don't understand. You're paying, say $800 for a room with a bed at the Ritz Amelia Island when you could paying $180 up the road at the Residence Inn.  What am I missing?[/quote]

Why do you care?? FTR, Residence Inn-Amelia Island doesn’t have a beach and has a teensy little pool and hot tub area. No restaurant onsite, and it’s located quite a distance from the main drag. Perfectly fine place to stay (stayed there must once!), but not comparable at all to the Ritz or Omni on AI.[/quote]

Just curious about other perspectives. Full disclosure, we own a house there - and have no issues going out for dinner or to a public beach. I guess I didn't realize people see hotels as a destination in and of themselves. Seems...restrictive. That's all![/quote]

Luxury hotels are indeed destinations in and of themselves. You honestly don’t even want to leave them. They take care of you, you feel pampered. Low grade Hampton Inns and Courtyards will never give you that cozy fuzzy feeling.

Also luxury hotels make your vacation far easier than using regular lower end hotels. They have every convenience you can think of, including activities for adults, kids, the family. My easiest and most relaxing vacations have been at higher end properties.[/quote]

Makes sense, thanks. Not my thing (I hate being pampered), but makes sense.[/quote]
