What are the best family resorts in St. Augustine?
Embassy Suites St. Augustine Beach Oceanfront (FamilyFactor 88) is the oceanfront two-room-suite pick. World Golf Village Renaissance (80) is the quieter inland golf-and-pool resort. Ocean Villas (78) is the independent in-town 3-star. Downtown St. Augustine itself is not a resort strip.
Is St. Augustine a beach vacation?
The historic district is not. Embassy Suites is on St. Augustine Beach between Anastasia State Park and the pier. World Golf Village is inland off I-95. Ocean Villas is in town. Book the beach address if the sand is the trip.
Do any St. Augustine hotels include breakfast?
Embassy Suites includes free made-to-order breakfast for all guests, plus the brand's evening social. The other two catalog picks do not advertise a comparable included breakfast.
Do you need a car in St. Augustine with kids?
Yes if you want both the Castillo / downtown and the beach. Embassy Suites is about 10 minutes from downtown. World Golf Village is a highway base. Rideshare exists; a car is still the honest plan for a split itinerary.
