Description: I did an American Airlines package to the Westin. It worked out to about $300/night. The hotel was beautiful, beach front, with a gorgeous infinity pool. It also had a very cold but pleasant lap pool for guests away from the hub of the infinity pool, which was very nice for a workout.
The style of the hotel is ultra-modern, with a little wear, but overall very well maintained. The Westin has the newer chain beds that make for a very comfortable night's sleep. As I said, there was some noticeable wear on the hotel, but overall the rooms were clean and tastefully decorated (meaning the tropical theme wasn't overbearing). The hotel oddly forgot to put somethings in our room such as the typical bathrobes and slippers, but we didn't really need them, so it was not a true loss, but it was a little surprising.
The location is perfect, though. There's not much on GBI, and almost everything "touristy" and worth doing/eating was across the street from our hotel. For what I was doing, I'm not sure it was worth the price. However, it was a family trip and other members of my family took greater advantage of the amenities offered. For something more economical, I think the Sheraton next door may be a better choice, since the amenities were the same; the walking distance was just shorter.
Overall, I think that the Westin is great for families and people who don't want to walk too far for their entertainment.
