WARNING: If you have car trouble (hit a curb damaged two tires and then some), as we did, just know that it is not easy to get an Uber or any other car service in town, as there is a $10 fee to enter the island, which we didn't know about until we drove in, and some car service drivers are not willing to pay the fee to pick you up. Some may even ask you to cover that fee or add it to their tip. It is not impossible to get a car service, but it is not as easy as you may be accustomed to from a major city and you may have to wait, so especially if you are there over the weekend, as we were, be sure to make arrangements as soon as possible, as many car shops in the area might be closed on Sundays. We ended up having to extend our stay in nearby Brunswick at the Embassy Suites until we could get our car situation sorted out, which was another awesome hotel to stay in anyway, so overall, it could have been much worse.
Jekyll Island is a great place to visit. It is a beautiful island for a relaxing weekend. Be sure to visit Driftwood Beach; it is stunning. Also visit the Jekyll Island Club Resort and the Westin while you're there, unless you're already staying at either location, of course. Plan to have a meal at the Jekyll Island Club Resort Restaurant, especially if you are celebrating a special occasion. We hope you can share our optimistic spirit and despite any adversity you may encounter, as we did during this trip, you can be grateful it wasn't worse and continue on your merry way... ;0P
