We Paid /night

Including room rate, taxes and mandatory resort fees

What does ""We Paid"" mean?

Forbes Travel Guide performs independent, incognito inspections of all hotels we rate. This is what we paid when we stayed at this hotel.

Rates can vary widely by room type and season. "We Paid" is intended to give a general sense of price, but you might find considerably different rates for your trip.

When we book, we aim for the optimum season for the destination, but we avoid holidays and major public events, when prices are highest. We generally book a room at one category up from the most basic.

We take advantage of promotional rates, when possible. That means the rate you see above might have included other benefits, such as spa or meal credits.

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

We are the only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas and ocean cruise ships.

Here are five things to know about us:

1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.

2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.

3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.

4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.

5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

Hammock Beach Golf Resort & Spa, located near St. Augustine and Amelia Island, features luxury villa and condominium accommodations overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, a 91,000-square-foot multi-level water park, signature golf courses designed by Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson, a rejuvenating resort spa with influences from the sea and a host of other recreational amenities.

For golfers, the hotel offers the most oceanside holes on Florida’s east coast, and beachgoers will love watching the sand turn pink, thanks to the endless coquina shells that wash up ashore.

The St. Augustine hotel is almost like an all-inclusive property; you’ll pay for food and drink, but the activities are all free. So go ahead and play as many rounds of mini-golf as you’d like, cool off at the onsite water park and partake in nightly events like dive-in movies without shelling out anything extra.

Our Inspector's Highlights

Located in northeastern Florida, just an hour south of Jacksonville and north of Daytona, Palm Coast is one of the Sunshine State’s hidden treasures — it’s one of the only beachfront resorts in the area.
Hammock Beach is set on a nature preserve in Palm Coast that is protected by the state of Florida. Head there to enjoy hikes through the marshes and along the beach.
The resort’s water park has a lazy river, water slide and a water gym. Just above the water park is an adults-only pool and nearby is the “sand pool,” which uses sand from the beach to line the area instead of traditional concrete.
The luxury hotel offers two professional golf courses (including the Ocean Course) and one putting green course, which is perfect for young golfers or those who want to practice the short game.
The full-service spa is a lovely little retreat — offering everything from massages to manicures — and the locker rooms have a sauna, steam room and eucalyptus inhalation room.

Things to Know

Hammock Beach Golf Resort & Spa is a cashless hotel. Your room key works as a credit card during your stay, making it easy for you to place all charges on your room and leave your wallet behind.
Play pickleball with a view. Four pickleball courts reside at the Tennis Center at Yacht Harbor Village, which overlooks the Intracoastal waterway.
Each room at Hammock Beach comes with a coffee pot and coffee and tea filters. You can also venture into the Coffee Bar in the lobby of the main towers for freshly brewed java, tea and light bites.

The Rooms

Whether you choose to stay in the Main Tower, Ocean Towers or Lodge, you’ll be able to take in the Atlantic Ocean (though some rooms just have partial views of the sea).
The Main Tower and Ocean Towers rooms are available in one-, two-, or three-bedroom suites, with a separate living room, kitchen, and a separate dining room.
Each room at Hammock Beach Golf Resort & Spa comes with king- or queen-size beds, and some of the three-bedroom suites have rooms with two twin beds (perfect for kids).
Many of the suites are owner-operated. That means you might be staying in an owner’s room, so the décor will have its own look.

The Restaurants

Delfinos Italian Chophouse specializes in regional Italian, Certified Black Angus meats and fresh seafood cuisine in its bright, contemporary dining room.
Located in the Lodge and the only oceanfront restaurant in Palm Coast, Atlantic Grille is where you’ll find breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. The fare here is simple seafood and American classics, including fish and chips, fresh grilled fish specialties and flat-bread pizzas.
