The property is beautiful! We thought the staff were all very helpful and very professional. We stayed from Thursday thru Sunday. We would recommend the Sand Dollar Grille on the property for a casual meal. We had two meals there and they were both delicious and the personnel was great. We were told housekeeping would be by to clean our room on Saturday at a specific time, so we made plans to be out of our room at that time, but they never came. Realistically, it was not an issue since we were leaving the next day. The only real complaint was that we found the WiFi to be very weak and this was an issue for us. Overall, we would definitely stay there again with no hesitation.

They were not helpful in extending our stay even though we were already at the property. They had told me we couldn't extend our stay in person... then they blamed it on another reason.

You wont believe!!

It was my birthday weekend so my husband and I and 2 of our friends rented a 2 bedroom Villa and it was beautiful. Our Villa had all the comforts of home down to the salt & pepper shakers. They had 7 pools and 2 giant hot tubs, a sauna, spa, playground, fire pit, activities. This place is so big they have shuttles to take you around the property. Im telling you this place is a must if your going on vacation!

Friendly staff, clean and safe property, large heated outdoor pool and hot tubs, ocean view, parking garage with easy access to our room, etc! We will definitely be returning to this resort the next time we visit the Myrtle Beach area!
