This regional drive-to retreat is the island’s premier destination, strategically located in the centre of the Jekyll Island National Landmark Historic District.
“There are many opportunities at the resort to increase the property’s financial performance through operational enhancements and physical improvements, including elevating the entire guest experience, expanding the restaurant and bar offerings, reimagining the merchandising and quality of the retail space, and creating many more revenue-generating venues.
“Our redevelopment expertise combined with our asset management initiatives should generate tremendous value creation at this storied resort.”
