Although this property is not on the beach, it was not far from it and had alot for kid/family things to do on site. There are good dining options all around. The staff was friendly. We had a two bedroom condo. It was very clean. We were missing two remotes, but maintenance brought them. I will stay again.

Wonderful Resort for Families! This resort was beautiful and very clean. The location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach and close to restaurants. We loved that there were both indoor and outdoor pools, and the free ice on the property was a nice bonus! The staff truly made our stay even better. Everyone was friendly and helpful—especially Bianca at the front desk. She was absolutely amazing! The only downside was the pull-out couch, which wasn’t very sturdy and could definitely use an upgrade. To be fair, we didn’t report it during our stay, so the staff wasn’t aware. Overall, it was a fantastic spot for our family reunion weekend. Lots to do for kids and a great place to relax. We will definitely be back! ⸻ Let me know if you want a shorter or more casual version too!

Just okay stay

The service was just okay nothing special for the price. Room floors were INCREDIBLY dirty and ruined our socks. The location is oddly located and not very uber/lyft friendly. I visited the indoor pool and arcade and both were very outdated. Overall just okay not the worst but not worth the price.

I loved that they included all the necessities so you (depending on how long you were staying) didn’t really need to buy anything, like dish soap or pods, toilet paper, etc. The outdoor pool was really nice but me and my family did wish it was deeper. It only goes up to 4”6 for whatever reason. The indoor pool goes up to 6” but it’s a bit run down. They haven’t renovated it yet. It’s a very short drive to the beach and some shopping and dining areas which is nice, though I do wish it was walkable as well. The staff was hit or miss. Some were very very sweet however, if you’re new to that hotel they will try to get you to buy a timeshare. When I declined they got pretty aggressive trying to get me to say yes, it was kind of uncomfortable. Though I did get heavily discounted Ripley’s aquarium tickets out of it so it wasn’t all bad. Just be strong and don’t fall for it. Other than that me and my family loved the stay! Oh! I forgot to mention the back area! Where we stayed we got a small balcony overlooking the pond behind us. It was so pretty and relaxing. Had all kinds of animals like ducks, geese, turtles, even some kind of tall skinny white bird (I think an ibis maybe?). Was very nice.

Our unit 209- A1 was very nice and we enjoyed our time spent there but did notice that there were no blankets in the closet if needed for anyone using the couch [ pull out bed] to sleep on. Upon arriving we drove right past the registration building, drove around confused looking, due to no clear signage, asked directions from the shuttle driver who told us it's all the way out front :(---which way was that ????persistence got us to the right place, but better directions/ signs would be a big help, unless you know where you are going, it's confusing, other people in the check in line had the same opinion

I think this place is beautiful at Check in but is the complete opposite of what the photos display. The indoor pool was not blue it was more on the greenish side.. the kids area was a joke, with the equipment out of date and unmanaged. There was a huge screw sticking out one of the sprayers. Our room had roaches, the balcony had a screw sticking out of where it was bolted to the wall on the right when you stepped out. Trash all below us on the grass. The kitchen was closed in the main pool area. The security shack to the community in the back by the pool was unattended. The trees we parked under left a residue on our vehicles. Our fridge wasn’t working when we arrived, someone came to fix it. Overall we stayed because we paid and had to, but we will NEVER go back.

Great family resort

We had a wonderful stay here! The kitchen is very well equipped but that doesn’t leave space for groceries in the cabinets. We had a tote we used and it was fine. The beds are super comfortable and the unit is very spacious. We had a unit that overlooked a pond with ducks, geese, turtles and swans. The pools were awesome! My little one loved the kiddie pool and the lazy river. The main pool is also so nice and warm! It’s centrally located and Myrtle beach is a quick drive. The shuttle to surfside beach was great! We would absolutely stay here again!

Many benefits one downside

The only downside to the state was being asked to attend a timeshare seminar. The staff was very nice about getting declined, but it was uncomfortable being asked to begin with when we were there for a family vacation and only looked for a nice place to stay. The amenities were great, my children loved the lazy river and the arcade. My toddler had a great time on the splash pad and my teenager loved the villa. We stayed in because she had her own private apartment upstairs. It was a great time had by all.
