Here's what others have had to say about Omni Amelia Island Resort and Cliff Drysdale Tennis at Amelia.

• "My tennis team and I spent a week at the Omni Amelia Island to have a fun team getaway and also to play a lot of tennis and improve our tennis game. Unfortunately, the rain hindered some of our plans, but the staff at the Cliff Drysdale Academy worked diligently to make sure we made up court time. They were on top of it. We took several group clinics with Elliot Muth and Thiem Nguyen and had the best time. These pros were awesome. They had high energy, came up with great drills, and gave superb instruction. We are all 4.0 players and definitely learned some great tips. Both Elliot and Thiem have a way of explaining things simply and effectively. They are professional and energetic and focused on a certain skill during every clinic (groundstrokes, volleys, overheads and serves, strategy). We loved playing with them and are ready to hire them away to teach us all the time!! Would highly highly recommend!! The resort at the Omni is fine. The rooms could use some updating. The practitioners at the spa, however, are amazing. All 8 of us had massages and all 8 of us claimed it was the best massages we have ever had! I even hugged my practitioner after it was over because it was so magical!! I’m not sure I would return to the Omni without the tennis and the spa, due to the dated rooms- but would definitely return to take lessons with Elliot and Thiem anytime."—S.S., Adv., July 2023

• "Elliot Muth and Sam (from Australia - can't remember his last name) were the absolute BEST and MOST FUN tennis instructors EVER!! Our group had a wonderful time with them both and I personally learned a lot."—M.B., Adv. Int., May 2023

• "Our pros Sam and Elliott were outstanding! Highly recommend!"—L.C., Int., May 2023

• "We had an amazing time. Elliot was an amazing pro. We learned a lot and had a lot of fun too."—A.T., Adv. Int., May 2023

• "To balance cranky above"—J.J., Adv. Int., May 2023

• ""—A.I., Int., May 2023

• "We loved our tennis. Elliot and Sam coached with energy, clarity, and fun. This was the best group experience I have ever had. Games were balanced with competitive challenges. We’d absolutely do it again!"—J.B., Adv. Int., May 2023

• "Our group of eight woman had a truly outstanding experience with our pros Sam & Elliot. They were excellent teachers - laying out a logical sequence of what we would be doing all week on the first day. Their instructions were clear and easy to follow, producing the best possible results. They understood what we needed as a group, but also zeroed in a wide variety of things that we each needed as individuals. They set high expectations but supported us and encouraged us at every step. They were patient, thoughtful, funny, energetic, and unbelievably enthusiastic. Back home, we see the improvements in our game and continue to remind each other to work on things Sam and Elliot taught us. We all hope to work with Sam and Elliot again someday!"—A.T., Adv. Int., May 2023

• "The hotel rooms need to be updated- other than that, it was great."—D.G., Int., April 2023

• "The tennis experience at the Cliff Drysdale Resort at Omni Amelia Island was awesome! The pros were great, kept the drills fun, and really helped each of us with our games. Kyle and Elliott were patient and really kept the tennis time engaging, despite different experience levels among our group. They also made sure we were hydrated and taking breaks when needed. Overall, it was a great experience in a beautiful setting."—W.N., Low Int., April 2023

• "Ultimately, the quality of a tennis resort/academy is most dependent upon that of its teaching professionals--and those at Cliff Drysdale Tennis Amelia Island are literally all exceptional. We visited the resort and tennis facility as a family of three, one of whom is six years old. The six year old took private lessons daily with Xavier and Bryan, both of whom were fantastic as youth tennis coaches and also fantastic with our son. (Thank you Xavier and Bryan for that especially!) We--the two adults--worked with Rob, Kyle, Elliot, Sam, Xavier and Thien. Thanks to the Omni Resort's Camp Amelia for children, which occupied our son in the most engaging ways during the morning hours, we were able to participate in all of the morning tennis clinics as well as take one to two hours of private lessons per day. The tennis facility was able to schedule all of this seamlessly. We worked with all of the above named pro's in both the clinic settings as well as in our private lessons. The level of instruction was superb, the congeniality of all of the pros made spending time with them a delight and most importantly, our tennis games improved notably across the board over a one-week period. The value for money spent was excellent and the other participants in the clinics were lovely people. It's funny that only at the end of this review will I mention how beautiful the tennis facility and the resort are--but just wait until you see them! Also, important to mention is that the Jacksonville airport was an absolute pleasure both inbound and outbound. The resort is 40 minute, incredibly scenic drive from the efficient local airport. We already booked next year and intend to make this a regular family vacation. Thank you everyone! We'll see you next year."—K.B.,  April 2023
