Reana Pilgrim-Novotny Review of The Westin Jekyll Island

The hotel is beautiful, room is very nice and the staff were warm and welcoming. I can only give this hotel and our stay a 2 star due to the fire pit in the center of the courtyard (room balconies surround the courtyard). There was a fire lit from late afternoon until late evening. While we enjoy a campfire as much as the next person ..being above it on a balcony was awful. The fire pit should be moved OUT of the center courtyard to the outside perimeter or converted to a gas fireplace
You can not open your patio door without being overcome with the smell of campfire and worse actual SMOKE. We tried to use the patio for cocktails and relaxing and unfortunately were held hostage in our room with the door closed the entire time. With a 7 year old with asthma he required multiple breathing treatments when the door was left partially open.
This was very disappointing. Beaches are beautiful and early morning walks and bike rides great. We will be back to the island but will not return to the Westin.
On a final note there is no laundry options (inspite of being at the beach and having wet swimsuits etc.
