Hotels near Sandy beach resort, Myrtle Beach

This was my little guys first spring break and first vacation and that’s to all the amenities offered at this hotel I’m the BEST MOMMY EVER! The pool area was everything and more! The game room was a nice time to waste time and have fun while it was raining. The views from the lobby during breakfast was beautiful and well as the balcony view from our room on the 19th floor and impeccable! Over all 10/10 . The only hiccup to mention was the Wi-Fi not working so well.

Susan at bar was the absolute best! I am a flight attendant and travel all over and she was the most attentive and kindest bartender ever. So refreshing to get awesome service after a long day of flying. She was also knowledgeable of the drinks and menu and helped me make my decision on what to get. Just loved her

Not to mention the location of the hotel, the beach is next to the sea, and the hotel itself has several swimming pools of different styles, suitable for children. The hotel is not far from the commercial area, and there are many fast food restaurants around. It is about a five-minute drive from the outlet, which is quite suitable for leisure vacation and parent-child travel. There are many parking spaces in the hotel, distributed in several different locations, but because of the high occupancy rate on the weekends, it is still a bit difficult to find parking spaces. Guests arriving at night can only stop by the hotel and move to the parking spaces the next morning. The hotel attendant will also call you to move the car. Breakfast is included in the room rate and is served at 7-10 o'clock. It is better than expected. The variety is very rich and the taste is very homely. It can basically meet the needs of people in different countries. The sea-view suite we lived on was on the 15th floor. The picture shows the view from the balcony. The building opposite is also the guest room of his house. The overall sanitary conditions and hardware configuration are good. Will choose this next time.

This was out third stay at this property. Our first stay was when is first opened. We stayed for 4 nights and overall had a great experience. Star at the front desk was really nice and very informative. Here are the Pros & Cons of this hotel. Pros: -They have done a decent job keeping up with the maintenance of the property. -The lobby/common area is bright, modern, and offers an amazing view of the beach. Wether you are eating breakfast or just want to read a good book in an inviting atmosphere -Room-spacious (we used suite rewards to upgrade to an executive double queen studio), full kitchen, decor was modern and flooring allows room to look and smell clean since there is no wall to wall carpeting. -Large balcony-can store beach chairs and umbrella, while still having room to sit -Ocean view and Oceanfront rooms both offered nice views (we have stayed in both types) -Location-quiet less populated area of the beach. This may be a con for some because there is not a lot to do within walking distance. -Fitness area-modern equipment, spacious enough. Included ellipticals, treadmills, weight machine, balls, etc. Cons -Bathroom- spacious, but not sure why there is only half of a shower door. I also wish that the shower head was detachable. -Breakfast could be improved. When we visited a couple of years ago the buffet had things like Brie cheese & chocolate croissants. No such luck this time. The quality is not great (eg. tasteless eggs, watery oatmeal, limited fruit selection). -Housekeeping-this is an extended stay location so they no longer clean your room everyday. You only get a “refresh” (remove trash and replace towels) after 3 days. I wish Marriott would remove the option in the APP for housekeeping everyday for these hotels. You opt in only to find out it’s not possible. -Parking garage-it’s tight and challenging to maneuver, but I appreciate that it’s covered, easy to get to, and there is ample parking. There are 15 min check in areas on the first floor which are helpful. The problem is that people still double park and cause traffic to back up. -Beach-the area in front of the hotel is very rocky (bring water shoes). I also did not like that the chair rental company set up their items in a line (chairs & umbrella) obscuring the view for everyone else. We were forced to set up our chairs behind theirs and did not have as nice a view of the water. Overall, we still like this property and will eventually come back.

We totally enjoyed our stay at the Dunes Village Resort. It was an unforgettable experience! The balcony in our room was the ”it” factor for me. We could hear and see the beauty and majesty of the Atlantic ocean. The room was very clean and comfortable! We were on the 6th floor and it was the best view! The atmosphere was peaceful and cozy! Parking was spot on, but be sure at check-in to confirm which parking area A or B you are assigned to. Be aware of time share solicitation with food coupons. They are set up in the lobby of Resort. (Just know all all the details if you opt to participate). Note, the seafood Buffets in Myrtle Beach is very expensive. Overall, as far as the Dunes Village Resort we were wowed by the elegant room, indoor amusement, and the outstanding, professional staff! We will come back in future!

The hotel is lovely. My room was fine except for ”rust” in the bath tub. I could not take a bath. I did not report it intitially was there for a conference and did not have time nor did I want to change rooms and was not sure there were rooms available. Boy, did the clerk at the front desk ream me when I checked out and mentioned it and wanted them to make amends. She said it was my fault I did not report it and said I called down on the second day to the front desk from my room phone and it rang and rang. She saId I could have stopped by during my conference. I said I want to speak to a manager - the manager was nice and after repeating multiple times saying it wasn't intentional - I cut her off and said I want a meal comped. She provided a $40 credit. Obviously, Mariott doesn't train their employees that the customer is right.

First, the positives: While you have to schedule your room to be cleaned (if desired), housekeeping shows up every day with fresh towels and washcloths. They will also take your trash. Both of the housekeepers we met were very nice. The towels are so nice and fluffy. Our room was clean and well taken care of. The breakfast buffet was massive and well stocked. The breakfast team did an excellent job keeping food and dishes coming and clearing and cleaning tables. The pool was very large. Our room was mostly quiet. You couldn’t hear people walking around above or around you. The only thing we could hear was when we opened our balcony door to hear the ocean, and it was someone else on their balcony being loud. The negatives: The hot tub was often crowded with people using it for a kiddie pool. They don’t want you to bring outside food or drinks, but we don’t drink and weren’t interested in ordering anything from the restaurant. And the pool/hot tub closed at SUNDOWN, which is ridiculous. A lot of people like to swim or sit in the hot tub after dinner or in the evening when it’s less crowded and less children. If a bunch of people come down for breakfast at once, it’s difficult to find a table, even though there are lots of tables. Parking is extra. $13.99 a day. $20 if you want valet. The really bad part is that I have a handicapped tag and can’t always walk long distances, but you are not parking near the hotel. The parking garage is for valet and the lot closest to the hotel is all 15 minute parking for new guests. Way more spots than needed. It was always full and pretty sure not with people who were only there for 15 minutes. There were THREE handicap spaces. For a hotel with 19 floors of rooms. There were a few more by the restaurant but we were pretty sure they were for the restaurant. It rained a couple of days so you’re going to get wet. The parking was just atrocious. Overall we had a nice time and it was a nice suite.

Wow, what a great vacation spot. Fantastic views and services Breakfast in the 2nd floor restaurant with JORDAN, we could not have had a better experience. He was polite, friendly, helpful, and made sure that we were happy with our meals. Also, the Wet Whisle bar, which overlooks the beach and pool area, was a lot of fun. Service by KEVIN was super, too!

Let me start by saying I travel a lot and we are frequent visitors and loyal to the Marriott brand and this hotel proves why! Alvin and staff provided outstanding customer service to ensure we had the best room possible for our stay. These associates treat you like family and always make our stay memorable by the service they provided. Upon arrival we were greeted with outstanding customer service from the time we arrived until check out. The staff are amazing employees who make you feel like you are the only customer in the hotel thanking us for being Elite customers and going out of their way to ensure our stay was outstanding.. The room is the most comfortable relaxing place we have ever stayed. The room is extremely spacious, comfortable, clean and the balcony furniture was nice to relax with a glass of wine and read. Our housekeepers were outstanding at ensuring our room was always clean. Bed and pillows were divine and room so comfortable we felt like we were at home. We appreciated the microwave and fridge. Fantastic property that is friendly, well maintained and relaxing. This hotel is located near several restaurants and shopping. Lots of easy free parking. One thing we truly appreciated is they understand people love and travel with their dogs and are a pet friendly hotel. Mr Marriott would be so proud of this wonderful hotel where you truly feel appreciated and valued. The manager is incredible and definitely sets the tone for 5 star customer service as every employee treated us so nice. When in the area this will always be my go to hotel and home away from home. Thank you to all the employees for making our stay comfortable and relaxing. We will be back.
