I visited St. Augustine for my niece's college graduation and we were very happy with our stay at Holiday Isle. One of the managers, Matthew Brain, was especially helpful and hospitable. He went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and solve any small issues we had. Additionally, we really enjoyed the pool area and beach access.

I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights for a professional conference. It was supposed to be relaxing but the weather, age of the hotel and lack of risk management training for the staff made my stay one of the worst hotel experiences I have ever had. I was supposed to stay longer but left as I no longer felt... More

On behalf of the entire staff I would like to apologize for your stay here at the hotel. The nor'easter storm delivered us a record nine inches of rain in a 36 hour period, along with 30-40 mile per hour winds. We do regular preventative maintenance to our facility to ensure that we can withstand common storms, however this storm... More

The picture of the hotel you see on the web is not an accurate one. The hotel is very old, needs updating really bad. The pool area is nice and it is close to the beach so if that's all your there for then this is perfect. The first thing we experienced was hair (and not hair from your head)... More

The hotel is overpriced. Forget about getting any sleep you hear everything. I heard people getting money out of the vending machine down the hall. It was, however, very clean for a hotel that allows pets. The restaurant food was not good. But the hotel staff were very nice and helpful.

Thank you very much for your feedback. I apologize that you found our hotel to be loud.

Stayed at the hotel for a family wedding. First let me say the entire staff (desk clerks, housekeeping, waitress, maintenance) bend over backwards to be friendly and helpful even in the worst situations. They are worthy of a better hotel surroundings. We had an oceanfront room on the 3rd floor. The room was clean, comfortable yet showing some age, the... More

The hotel staff did accommodate us on second floor due to torrential rains (we needed pet friendly which are normally first floor only), and they were very courteous. Location is great directly on pet friendly beach. That about ends the good. From what we could see of other rooms, we were given the worst room in the hotel: peeling wall... More

Meeting Rooms were good, sound was great. The hotel itself is worn, but the staff is fantastic, it is very clean and the owner will go over the top to make your experience a great one. The food is phenomenal, Brooke, the Chef is wonderful and talented. Great location on the beach with a super pool.
