Reviewed by Leslie of Lenoir city on Aug 14, 2009

I'll start by saying that I was under the impression that the marriot at grande dunes was in the grande dunes village off 17 but was pleased even more when we were told it was ON the beach.Upon arrival and entering the lobby, The hotel looked absolutely amazing and I was very excited about the stay here and felt confident that I had made the right decision by splurging WAY more than usual for a special weekend with my fiance.After checking in and returning to the vehicle to retrieve our luggage and told her how nice the place looked we loaded everything up and I parked our vehicle then we headed up to our room.Well,After the ambience that you get when you walk into the lobby and you cant help but to venture out to the awesome pool and nice restaurant I will have to say that I was slightly dissapointed with the room.It was fairly small and the "balcony" was literally the bottom of the guardrail so you open the door and prop up against the banister without actually leaving the carpet.There were cracks in the walls that I felt were definitely out of place in such a nice hotel.Then I went to connect my laptop to the internet and discovered that it was fairly pricy for a room That I just paid for 1 night what my "Usual" Fare would be for a week in another place and felt that the internet should have been included but since this was a special weekend then I wasnt that concerned with the monetary value But thought the room itself should have been a bit nicer then what it was,The bed was great though and thats a plus in my book and I would definitely stay again but NOT for the price I paid.

Recommended Trip type: Romance "Pretty good hotel"

Reviewed by Brian of Freeport on Jun 1, 2009

I would recommend this hotel to a friend who wanted a nice hotel ... but I also would advise them to go somewhere a little cheaper. While we enjoyed many aspects of the hotel (mainly the comfortable bed, beach, and relative proximity [about 3 miles, if I remember correctly] to Broadway at the Beach [a must -- along with renting a car -- if you're going to Myrtle Beach]), we also were disappointed with some aspects. Our ocean-view room did not have a walk-out balcony (rather, a door that opens to a steel grate). While there was a view to the ocean, the view also was angled in a way where we also had a great view of the parking lot, air-conditioning units on the roof below and garbage dump. Bathroom was pretty small. Even finding the hotel was a tad tricky as it is tucked back into a development project being built. Pool was pretty cold and just finding lawn chairs was difficult at times. Service by pool was great as was the small, but fun water slide. We also enjoyed massages and they were nice, but my masseuse (who was nice and recommended a good seafood restaurant) did nothing but talk the entire time, which I probably should have spoken up and politely asked her to let me relax. My wife and I have stayed at some of the best hotels in Hawaii, Cancun, Florida, and the Virgin Islands, and this one did not stack up to its reputation. Yet, it was OK ... but, with no previous hotel experiences in Myrtle Beach, probably not worth the extra cost.

Looking for a fantastic weekend getaway? Stay here! They have it all! Classy treatment all around, FULL Spa/Massage packages, more pools than you can swim in, and very comfortable rooms/beds! Great place! Reasonable pricing when you consider what you are getting and when you compare it to other places. Oh, one negative- paying to park. Whether you use the valet (which I recommend) or park yourself, you must pay to park- why?

Take one look out onto the pool area, and you'll inhale a deep breath of 'vacation'. Choose a padded pool chaise, or a hammock under the palm trees. Get motivated, and take a walk on a wide sandy beach. Shells are beautiful after a storm! The disappointing part of our stay was that I could not get a cup of Earl Grey Tea. Pretty standard everywhere. One would expect it in a Marriott Resort. I did. They said they "always run out of that first"...hmm. Maybe they would somehow connect that with the need to stock more? Sometimes it's just the little things that count.
