Omni Amelia Island Plantation Resort

Omni Amelia Island Plantation Resort

June 2, 2016

Amelia Island, FL

Overview: For an Amelia Island property, there is quite a bit of ballroom and meeting space available at this hotel.

Ballrooms: There are three ballrooms ranging from the largest, the Magnolia, to the Cumberland, which is the smallest, and a mid-size ballroom called the Amelia Ballroom. 

A second ballroom is located in an adjacent building and is more of a standard ballroom.

There also are quite a few breakout rooms but the ballrooms can be split into larger breakout rooms if needed.

Rigging was easy and the ballroom load-in was very easy as well. 

Location: Like everything else in Amelia Island, you are a little far from off-property activities.  The plus is that you are right on the ocean and the pool area is amazing.

Rooms: I don’t usually comment on hotel rooms, but I thought these were just all right. They reminded me more of a motel room than a luxury hotel, but we (as crew) often don’t get the best rooms, so there may be much better rooms available that we didn’t see. 

Signage: The signage at the hotel could use improvement. Many people seemed to be getting lost as they walked around, so good event signage (and a lot of it!) is a must for this property.

Producer’s Notes: From a production standpoint, I thought this was a great property. This is not a resort we see mentioned a lot on short lists for property searches and is one to consider.

The Best of the Best

Over the years, we have worked in more hotels than we can count, with hundreds of keynote speakers and many performers. Sure, there were some bad presenters and we all have horror stories about bad properties, you just won’t find those stories referenced on this blog.  Read more.
