Before we arrived, I had the most AMAZING Telephone conversation and assistance with Gail. Not only did she confirm our stay, offer assistance and guidance with our trip to Myrtle Beach, but she also made sure my husband was able to book a tee time with The Dunes while visiting. Gail connected my husband with Sandy, who called to book the tee time and confirm that my husband had a perfect golf experience. Both Gail and Sandy were kind, outgoing, and extremely helpful. They were both so warm, welcoming, and eager to ensure we had the best experience with our trip. It is so rare to have such warm hospitality before reaching a resort. Gail really left a lasting impression that we will never forget. Truly a first-class team.|Upon arriving at the resort, the gentleman who checked us in (I believe it was Scott) and Laura were exceptionally welcoming, accommodating, and made sure we had the right room and were comfortable. Laura went well beyond to ensure our family had the right room, had patience, and never stopped providing the type of service one would want while traveling away from home. |Laura greeted us with a smile and a friendly attitude each time we saw her during the evening.|To have such an incredible team representing the Marina Inn made our trip more enjoyable, relaxing, and increased our desire to return more often.|We highly recommend the wonderful room, amenities, and service!

Everything was great starting with the speedy check in the perfect room the appearance, the cleanliness and the devotion to detail. We really found the grounds to be superior to anything we’ve seen in the area. We had wonderful service at the desk from Laura , Sheryl,Irene, and of course, Scott were all a delight .We really lucked out by finding this place. We had absolutely the best service and the nicest stay beautiful clean grounds a wonderful pool and an easy shuttle to take us to the beach when needed. We enjoyed our short stay wish we could stay longer. This was absolutely great.

Spacious grounds and rooms, with plenty of amenities. Not next to the beach or restaurants, so you have to drive/Uber to get anywhere. They do have a very convenient beach shuttle to a secluded beach with all beach equipment; if all you're looking for is beach time, this is hard to beat. There is an on site bar and restaurant. Service at reception was a mixed experience - the check in lady was not very friendly or informative, but the gentleman at checkout was very nice. All in all, a decent experience, but not sure it's best value for money considering the price.

WaterScapes has the best service I have ever experienced. Cedric and Brianna were definitely the best servers I've ever had. Extremely attentive and courteous. I had coughed a few times at the table and Cedric brought me a ginger mint to soothe my cough. At the end of the meal, they brought candies for my son. The bartender Joe has the best drinks in Myrtle beach. Highly recommend his Margaritas. Great people, great atmosphere, great experience overall.

My husband & family have stayed here 5 years now. Absolutely the best staff ever! Amazing customer service. The rooms are super clean & spacious. They go beyond expectations to meet your needs. Great restaurant & bar. I look forward to going back for our Anniversary.

Amazing property! AirBNB family experience with the large living room, lots of seating, and full kitchen with hotel cleanliness standards and amenities! We were overjoyed with our stay. Far exceeded our expectations. Private beach with chairs and umbrellas and the best shuttle driver made the trip even better! The afternoon rain showers allowed us more time to fully enjoy the property, pools, and the views! We’ll be back! Next week is not too soon!

This was our first time to Myrtle Beach and we're very glad we chose the Grand Dunes as our location. The Marina is overall very nice with a beautiful location. Our room was huge and very comfortable. We had a suite with a full kitchen, king size bed, living area and a big bathroom with a gorgeous view of the intercoastal waterway. The private beach with ongoing shuttle service is a phenomenal perk to staying here. The beach experience with the Marina Inn's private location was one of the best beach experiences I've ever had. The drawbacks were our room was in need of maintenance and was a bit run down with a broken piece of furniture and carpet that desperately needs replacing. On our balcony there was a small outdoor patio set falling apart and sat so low we could not enjoy the view over the hedge. The worse part of the Inn was the service at the restaurant. One night we ordered pizza and it never arrived. The next night my husband walked down to the restaurant to reorder another pizza and it took a long time for anyone to come to his service to place an order. Then the next morning we attempted to eat breakfast at the restaurant...there was no hostess at the hostess station. We waited for a good 15 min to be seated...no one ever came. So we left and ate across the street at a wonderful restaurant. Overall though, it is a nice place to stay and we will return just needs better restaurant service and some minor maintenance done.

This place was beautiful. Not your normal beach stay. My wife and I stayed there for our anniversary. We had a wonderful experience. The location was idea. Food at the restaurant was great. Next time we will take advantage of the marina. I will definitely stay here again.

Beautiful rooms. They upgraded us to a suite with 2 bathrooms, 2 balconies and a kitchen!! Staff was very friendly. Room services were prompt and non invasive. Bed, toiletries, kitchen were all replaced/cleaned/made etc daily without asking. The subsets were magical. Wish we had more time to stay. Fitness was more than adequate for a full workout. Indoor, I didn't have an opportunity to jump in but it looked clean. Outdoor pool, water was cold but what would you expect for late October. Outdoor hot tub was fantastic. Little outdoor "cabana" areas were confronting and allowed for a quick nap. Bartender made great drinks and the flatbreads hit the spot for a quick bite. We will definitely be back here with the rest of our family.

We stayed at the Marina Inn at Grande Dunes for a wedding weekend. We were so impressed with the Marina Inn at Grand Dunes! All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful! The Marina Inn is beautiful and the service was great. Everyone was welcoming and helpful. I recommend this resort to everyone who enjoys elegance and great customer service . Very kid friendly/ family friendly. Beach is near by and a shuttle is available. Airport is 20 min drive. Excellent location I would recommend this to everyone. We stayed in the suites with our family. Wonderful views. Cannot wait to visit again. Ps: every single staff member at this resort is amazing, they go out of their way to make sure all the guest are taken care of.

The Marina Inn is perfectly located on a main road in Myrtle Beach that provides easy access to everything, including the beach and all local attractions, without the extra cost (and risks) of being right on the beach. All the grounds and amenities were fantastic! My room with a single king bed was spacious and beautiful, including the bathroom. The view from the balcony over the small river behind the hotel was absolutely gorgeous. The room was quiet, comfortable, and had both excellent internet and a very responsive (and intuitive) central heating thermostat. Room service was quick and the food was excellent. Notably, from the moment my sister and I arrived at the front door, we felt like everyone was very intentional about taking excellent care of us. Scott was a super friendly valet, and Sam took great care of our luggage and gave us lots of very helpful information, answering every question we had quickly and accurately. We honestly felt like they became fast friends, and we chatted with them every time we went in and out of the hotel. Laura at the check-in desk was also extremely helpful and friendly, and she likewise became an immediate friend! Megan and Caitlyn provided wonderful service and conversation (when they had time) in the Waterscapes breakfast restaurant, which had delicious food at very reasonable prices. The manager Connie was also extremely friendly and attentive. I would give 10 stars for the service here if I could!!! I highly recommend this hotel for your next stay. I will certainly be back here the next time I need a hotel in Myrtle Beach!!!

2nd visit, 1st time was in main building and enjoyed that area much better than the marina tower, 5th floor....we have a junior suite with fire place that wasn't working, and weird, but we had a wall that looked over the marina with nice views, but our corner patio faced the parking lot and Ruth's Chris steakhouse. Exterior entrance seems odd for a suite, room is dated but " nice", cleanliness ( im picky) I'm giving a 8/10.......room condition a 7/10....check in process 10/10....pricing ( it's a cold Feb. day) 8/10... I would return, but reccomend main building so you don't have to go out in the cold to get to store, restaurants, pool and such...

First visit...valet and front staff were excellent. Warm knowledgeable and inviting. Made a few room service requests at the front desk. The issues were not immediately addressed but after a second reminder, they staff responded. Good room service from hotel restaurant. Poor internet and phone service in my room area. I stayed on lower level, next time I will get a higher room for a Better view. Furniture and carpet are outdated but the room was pretty clean. Definitely returning for the views and the service.

We enjoyed staying at Marina Inn at Grande Dunes. My sister and her husband reserved adjoining suites for the four of us. They wanted to show us the best of Myrtle Beach. The balconies had spectacular views. The sunset was gorgeous. The employees were very helpful and courteous. The beds were comfortable. We highly recommend Marina Inn at Grande Dunes.

We traveled by boat to the Marina Inn at Grande Dunes. I paid over a month in advance to reserve a boat slip online. While they received my reservation and payment, we were told to just find a spot to tie up near the boat rental area. I disliked the lack of a dedicated slip and next to rental boats. No information was immediately given about dock access, so we had to walk up to the dockmaster to get gate codes. I was not impressed with any of the food or coffee options on site. We rented the two-story penthouse suite. Our accommodations were adequate yet tired, run-down, and not exceptionally clean. I did not use the pools or hot tub, as the water looked cloudy. I would not choose to return here. Next time I will research nicer hotel/resort options on the ICW.

Stayed here in July. I used to love staying here years ago. The room wasn't very clean, it was old and run down, the bedding was stretched out, even when they made the bed you could see the white part of the bed skirt, pretty gross. Very disappointed. Would not recommend.

I was extremely disappointed with my stay at Marina Inn at Grande Dunes. Despite the beautiful location, i arrived and didn't get the king suite I paid for and requested I had a double queen with a handicap bathroom. I will never ever stay here again in my life especially with the piss poor service was shockingly not up to par. The staff was unresponsive and seemed uninterested in addressing our concerns. Our room wasn't properly cleaned, with dirty towels left in the bathroom and stained bedding. The air conditioning was broken, and when we asked for assistance, it took hours for anyone to come, and they didn't fix it. For the high price, I expected a much better experience I didn't even get a receipt they are so disorganized the rep said he was too busy so I ended up leaving my email for him to send me a receipt and he never sent one at all. I won't be returning and can't recommend this hotel to anyone."

The first time staying here and probably it the last. We reserved a last minute room for an overnight visit. The staff at check in was very friendly. We had a nice room with a single king bed and balcony view of the Intercoastal Waterway. The room was clean and the bathroom was spacious. The walk in shower had a rainfall shower head that could have used a bit more pressure. The best part of the room was actually the balcony with the sounds of birds and not much else. For a later dinner we ate outside by the pool and the food was very good. The server was a young man who was very friendly and polite. He made the evening fun. Unfortunately, we went inside afterwards due to a massive thunderstorm. We then went to the indoor bar and enjoyed a couple of drinks. The bartender was also very friendly. All in all a nice atmosphere. I would definitely recommend the hotel. It's not on a main road, so you don't have a lot of noise nor a lot of foot traffic like you would next to the beach, but within a few minutes you can easily drive to the busier parts. The calmness of the hotel is a big plus. Also, the friendliness of the entire staff is wonderful.

Came here for work as the usual hotel we stay at was full. Good place. There were some issues that I really wasn't fond of: poor water pressure and hair in the shower. I alerted the front desk and they cleaned the room .. again. I will say the hotel is pretty. Lots of space for conferences and also the usual hotel stuff. The beds were comfy and rooms were spacious. They provided breakfast for us each morning which left a lot to be desired as it really didn't taste fresh. Even the coffee was "off". I'm deducting a point for the cleanliness of the room and another for the food quality. This isn't affiliated with other large hotel chains, so no points accumulated here.

We love this spot! We were so happy to spend our birthday week here! The staff is so nice and the location is prime! Rooms were clean and spacious. The pool area was nice with pleasant of sun bathing spots! We will be back! Thank you to Lucy who helped make sure we had a smooth check in and all other staff that made sure we where comfortable! Thank you Alex for my Starbucks kick in the morning and Pamela for making sure we had a great room and a great view! To Lynn who helped me with keys when I locked myself out and to everyone that wished us well as we walked through the halls! You all really made our stay extra special! Thank you!

This hotel was really great! The staff was super friendly and very helpful on suggestions of where to eat. The rooms were very clean and we were even upgraded to a suite. The view of the Marina on the balcony was very pretty and the fireplace in the front room was a nice touch. We needed them to light the fireplace and so I called the front desk and they were right on it with getting someone to come up. When I travel back to South Carolina I will be staying at this beautiful hotel.

This place is infested with cockroaches and the staff are extremely rude. I came on this vacation with my husband for the first time since our honeymoon and will never come back. Sherry and Jim called the cops on me because I complained about the roaches.

My husband and I were disappointed with our stay here. When we arrived in our room, it was a chilly day and went to turn on the fireplace (that we paid extra for the room with one). The fireplace did not work and there was soot all over the mantle. In addition, there were some questionable stains on the sheets, chairs, curtains, and comforter. This is surprising because the room clearly hadn't been occupied since before daylight savings as indicated by the hour off time on the microwave. The balcony view was very nice, but the furniture not so much. Besides being outdated, the lounge chair also had many questionable stains, was ripped in many places, and was tied down with boot laces. We ordered room service our first night which was even more disappointing. The $23 "charcuterie board" was a few pieces of cheese, grocery store crackers, and some salami served on a dinner plate. Our main entrees, a hamburger, truffle fries, and salad with chicken, reminded me of hospital food. Even worse, when we went to sit at the kitchen island, one of the chairs was falling apart and couldn't be used. When spending $250+ a night for a "4-5 star hotel" you would expect some complimentary coffee. Instead, we were served by an employee talking on his phone with ear buds who could be bothered less. One morning my husband was not even able to order bagels after coffees. Thankfully, the bed was very comfortable despite the stains. We enjoyed the balcony view and the jacuzzi tub. However, this hotel needs to do some updating before we stay here another time. There are many other hotels in Myrtle Beach

We recently held a family reunion at this resort. The service was superb. Everybody was so friendly and helpful. The rooms were great. Everything was kept clean. The pool area is spectacular in the view of the marina is beautiful. I would highly recommend this resort for your vacations down in Myrtle Beach.

Started off a bit bumpy. Our room took 3 hours past the check in. They made up for it by giving us complimentary breakfast tickets for the rest of our trip. The breakfast was delicious.Valet to the beach was nice as well.

It's nice place but it is not on the beach. Everything inside it super clean. The staff was super nice. There is plenty of parking. The pool is little small, there no bar near the pool. Or it was not open when I was there!

Love the suites here. They are perfect for my family of two teen boys and my husband and I. They have their room, we have ours and a huge kitchen and living space to share in between both rooms. The bathrooms are big too and the guest bath has a washer and dryer. The view from our two balconies is picturesque with views of the large pool and intercostal waterway and onsite marina. We've enjoyed several beautiful sunsets as well as views of our kids and their friends at the pool. Drawbacks for the property are few but one that really bothered me is the bar and restaurant service. The service is not up to par with the facility. The housekeeping, front desk and valet are phenomenal. They each have been very accommodating. We ate off property 99% of the time b/c of bad experiences at the bar. Also they do not allow outside food at the pool.

I can't say enough about the Marina Inn at Grand Dunes. I love every inch of the place. The friendliness of every staff member I have come in contact with from, front desk to room servers to housekeeping. Our room was the most spacious, enjoyable, most comfortable room I have ever stayed in. Huge open space from kitchen, dining and living room. Huge three balcony two king bedrooms in a corner suite. Huge main balcony off the living room. A balcony of the main bedroom and a small one off the second. Huge master suite bathroom with separate shower and bathtub, which I truly enjoyed soaking in. Huge double sinks in each bathroom. The second bath had a huge two person shower with no bathtub. I love the tile floors in the bath and kitchen. The Living room was comfortable with a flat screen tv and fireplace. The dining area was present to relax and dining at the spacious round table. The huge granite breakfast bar could accommodate four or five stools. The huge full kitchen was wonderful and laundry available in suite. I truly could stay here forever. We had a room on the harbor side so that I can take all the pictures of the boats, I wished till my hearts content. I love taking photos of boats and would love to own one. I have an extensive boat photo portfolio. Dining at the Marina Inn was very good. Dinner in the main restaurant at the Waterscape was excellent. Room service pizza one afternoon was very good as well. The room service was quick & hot. They have a very small snack shop with coke products and a few snacks. Not a coke person. I really liked the availability to select a DVD to watch from a very small collect of movies at the front desk. Nothing new but something for everyone. I used the business center to print out boarding passes. Small but very efferent. The Marina Inn has several pools and indoor and outdoor 24hrs. I enjoyed the night swim and enjoyed the relaxing hot tub after. The decor is simple yet tasteful. I highly recommend !!! I will return !!!

Yelp
Beautiful property! Loved the pool area and the setting by the water. The private beach access was also very nice. Didn't have to wait more than 10 minutes for the shuttle and it's only a 5 minute ride. The hotel was SPOTLESS. I've worked in hotel hospitality and this place was pristine. The rooms are a little dated but the beds are super comfortable!!! We will definitely be back.

The host, Alexandra, room 5401, could not accept honest feedback that I left on my review. She called me illiterate, dumb, and stupid. She has a beautiful place but don't write negative feedback or you'll be considered cheap, low class, dumb, stupid. I even gave the place 4 stars.

My family booked and stayed at this place in mid-October during COVID. The hotel is VERY clean and was one of the reasons we stayed here, particularly during COVID. The pool is nice and they have a hot tub as well. There's a Chris Ruth steakhouse next door and a small marina attached. The services are limited during COVID times since the shuttle was not running when we came. However, they gave us the gate pass and you can drive down to the beach (which is a private beach area). The room is spacious and clean. The views of the pool from our balcony are spectacular. I would definitely come back to this place again and see what is like during the regular non-covid season.

Gail K.

Yelp
Horrible experience!! If the employee breathes they expect to be tipped. You pay for amenities you don't ever use! The furniture is old chipped and ugly! Our dishwasher was broken we had to pack up and move to a unit that the fridge ice maker didn't work! You can't move all the big stuff with out a cart and the valet controls them so to move we had to,,,you guessed it TIPP! One place I would never ever stay again!! The outdoor furniture is horrible! You would think a so called 5 star place would have comfortable outdoor seating. Think twice before coming here lots of other nicer places to stay.

This is a nice hotel. They provide shuttle to their "private beach" at weekend (Saturday and Sunday) from 9AM to 5PM. The shuttle was 10mins late in the morning but he's very nice. It's 7 ppl limited in the shuttle once at a time. The driver was very nice. They provide the towel beach if you needed also The room was nice, we got a nice view from the balcony. We can see the pools and the ships. There was no one came to clean up the room when we left for the trip, which was a minus. We found a dead cockroach inside the room at the front door when we got in. I contacted the front desk and she said that it's their state insects and it was not a big deal. There was a death cockroach in the room which mean they didn't really clean it well enough. She asked if I want someone come up and spray the room so I said yes. They also have inside pool, a gym and restaurant. There are 4 outside pools: 1 for the kids, one for adults and kids (it's deeper than the other one), 2 massage/ hot tub (1 of them are not function, the massage machine didn't work). I didn't try the hotel food but only the bar and the drink. They have outside bar during the day, and the inside bar. They will bring the food to you when you are at the pool. Food/ drink are all okay.

Girl's Road Trip, To Myrtle Beach. My two close friends, wanted the 3 of us to take a girls trip to Myrtle Beach South Carolina. This trip was so amazing, we split the cost of avis rental car three ways. And we split the cost of gas and food, three ways as well. We was able to stay at this beautiful hotel on a private beach, because we split the hotel room cost three ways. Girl's Road Trip, To Myrtle beach will be something that my friends and I will plan once a year. Marina Inn at Grande Dunes has Two hot tubs to view the majestic view of the marina. My friends and I spent alot of time in the indoor heated pool, fitness center, sauna and on the beach. Grab your friends,your sister or even your mom to your next Girl's road trip to Myrtle Beach South Carolina this summer.

We stayed there for a wedding and couldn't have been less impressed with the room. It was tired, run down and smelled. I'm sure there are many nice options in Myrtle Beach.

I stayed in a two bedroom sleep. I appreciated the space. Each bedroom had its own full bathroom. The suite included a fully equipped kitchen. There was also a washer and dryer inside of the room. The room had good sound proof. The carpet had some spots and needed a shampoo. Other than that, the room was clean and I did not feel itchy. I had a comfortable stay and look forward to returning.

Let me start this by saying that we got this room on a priceline express deal for around 100.00 a night. At that price, I'm pretty pleased with this room... But seeing as this is advertised as a 4 star (or 4.5 star according to priceline) resort and room prices are usually 200+ a night, I'm reviewing it as such. Rooms: The room was BEYOND spacious- palatial, even. Nice touches like wine glasses, nice coffee cups, and marble floors in entryway and the bathroom were immediately noticed by both my husband and myself (and he's not the type to get excited over coffee cups). Furniture is worn, several chairs had a large stains on them. However, the bed was ULTRA comfortable and the view of the marina at night was really romantic. Unfortunately, the bathroom was pretty grimey for a 4.5 star resort. Black smudge on the wall, drips of something on the vanity sink, shower was honestly straight up gross (see photo) and marble floors had a hazy film on them, so if you walked across them barefoot, you could literally see your foot steps on the floor, because your foot picked up whatever film was on the floor leaving the shiny marble below- pretty gross. A long black hair on a towel as I went to dry my face off... gross. Makeup mirror that is provided (which I was REALLY excited about) was broken, and the light didn't work, so... yeah. There's also the mini fridge that has some sort of an issue with the air compressor and loudly buzzes randomly throughout the night, insuring you don't get a full night's sleep. The balcony (which was maybe my favorite part of this room) was fantastic until a group of rowdy guests decided to scream and party on theirs until after midnight. No one wants to hear your beer keg story while trying to relax, bro. This isn't the hotel's fault, but more of an aside to people who might be looking for a relaxing/romantic night. Amenities & Customer Service Customer service is for the most part good at this hotel, with one exception: Denise. I called ahead to request a king bed, and (with an attitude) was told to call back because my reservation wasn't in the system yet. I call a second time a week later (yes, that's how long it takes me to cycle through my to do list, don't judge) and she puts it in the system, but is so mumbly and incoherent that I have to ask her to repeat what she is saying four times. Then, my husband wanted to surprise me with flowers in the room upon our arrival and calls up... he too gets Denise, who tells him "you know, you could just go across the street and buy her flowers". Any other customer service person/ concierge at a 4.5 star hotel wouldn't have batted an eye at making sure there's a vase of flowers in the room. However, our stay was redeemed by our room service attendant who upgraded our bottle of wine for free, because they were out of the requested bottle. Valet is free, which I wish we had known before we self parked our car... but nonetheless, a REALLY nice ammenity if you have a long day at the beach. Room service is friendly, but AWFUL. I wish I could underline awful five times. My husband got swordfish tacos, which were overcooked and drowning in sauce (but was still the most palatable of this meal). Caesar salad had this weird tea leaf taste to it, and the romaine was obviously not the freshest. I got a chicken sandwich and substituted avocado for the tomato that originally came on it. A. It showed up with raw onions on it, which it did NOT say on the menu, which I am allergic to. So, I took the half of the sandwich that had the onions on it off, popped two benadryl and hoped for the best. B. The avocado was SO underripe that chunks of it were inedible. C. The part of this that I absolutely cannot over look... the chicken was SO overcooked that it was dry, hard on the edges, and completely inedible. So, overcooked tacos, a disgusting salad, an inedible sandwich and a bottle of wine all came to 95 dollars. For 95 dollars, I ate two pieces of bread with a sad leaf of lettuce and two pieces of bacon on it. My husband, who is a human garbage disposal attempted to eat the rest of the sandwich and tapped out because of how inedibly over-cooked the chicken was. Thank god for wine, is all I can say. You could not pay me to eat at their restaurant after this experience.

Very nice accommodations! Easy check-in, and the rooms are very nice. As always there are a few things to touch up, but the rooms were very nice, spacious, and have ceiling fans! The indoor pool was a hit for the children and the outdoor pool area seems very nice. I would definitely stay here again.

Booked last minute and my room cost over $700. Check in took over an hour, room keys had to be recoded twice, $16 for Buffalo wing appetizer. Do yourself a favor, find somewhere else to stay.

Hit and miss hotel. Room was nice. Maid service was suspect. They only cleaned our room one of the 4 nights we stayed. Even on a day when we called down and stopped at the front desk to remind them. After 2 nights with no service we had to call for toilet paper and towels. Not what you expect at an alleged 4 star hotel. The bell service was garbage. I got no help even when I asked for it to take up my bags and on the next day when I asked for help my groceries (when I was with my children). With my groceries I was told to put them over to the side and make 2 trips. I would have rather had access to luggage carts then these loser bell boys. The private beach and shuttle were nice and super short waits for the shuttle with the call button at the beach. The front desk staff was rude and not good at all. I called down to see if we could get a late check out and was told to call back the next AM to see. That defeats the point of a late check out so I could sleep in when my departing flight has been delayed. This hotel looks nice but the staff does the bare minimum to get by...no one went the extra mile to make us want to come back.

Our condo was amazing, it was updated and decorated well. The beds were very comfortable. Loved having the full kitchen and laundry room. Two pool options (indoor and outdoor), and fitness center. The restaurant was not serving dinner.

Stayed here for 4 days in May for a fitness retreat. The hotel is not directly on the beach but they do have a private beach and provide shuttle service. Unfortunately during my stay it rained the entire time. It was ok though because when it wasn't raining we enjoyed their beautiful, large pool and jacuzzi. They also have a small indoor pool. The best part for me was the size of my room. I had a single king and it was HUGE!! I was not expecting to have a full kitchen, a huge bathroom with separate shower and tub. The living area was spacious and opened onto a balcony overlooking the waterway. The bed was heavenly and I loved that there was a ceiling fan above the bed. The hotel itself was clean, brightly lit and all of the employees were nice. I enjoyed the buffet breakfast in the restaurant - the grits were almost as good as mine. Almost. The only negative is the price for food in the Reflection Bar was outrageous. Very overpriced. I had purchased $25 restaurant credit as part of my package but it only allowed you to eat in the bar or pay double if you took the food back to your room. That's a terrible policy. Other than that, I would stay here again and, in fact, I will next year for the next Fitness Retreat.

The outdoor pool was very beautiful featuring poolside restaurant and bar. The room was a little dated with older furniture and moderately clean found a couple of small stains on carpet looked food related nothing major. There was multiple amenities onsite including golf course, restaurants, and indoor pool with fitness center. Staff hospitality was moderate, interactions wasn't bad but nothing spectacular. Overall it was a nice hotel with a resort like atmosphere would stay again.

Our experience was wonderful from the moment we arrived until we left. We stayed the week of Thanksgiving. The Marina Inn was clean and classy. The grounds were kept nice. Our room was perfect, we had a 2 bedroom 2 bath overlooking the marina. Room was very clean and had a full kitchen. Each day the cleaning lady came in and made the place look amazing. (I have two boys so it can get pretty messy) They have 2 restaurants on site both had food that was good, the restaurants were clean and the host at Waterscapes, Kathleen was very sweet and accommodating. We would like to give a big shout out to Jeremy at valet he was our go to guy throughout the trip. He gave some great recommendations for restaurants, real estate, attractions, etc. He was very pleasant and a great asset to Marina Inn. We will be back!!

Recently stayed at this fabulous hotel. Several friends getting together for a long weekend. The accomodatioins were beautiful, comfortable beds, spacious living area and well stocked kitchen. The food in the restaurant and lounge was great and the staff throughout the hotel was very helpful and friendly. Both outdoor and indoor pools with an outside poolside bar. Would definately return.

Fabulous stay! Very nice amenities and staff was helpful. The pool, sauna, and hot tub are excellent well maintained. The rooms are clean and modern bathrooms. We stayed in a double queen for a quick mother daughter get away. Private beach is amazing no hassle except we took the pool towel to the beach and were asked where we were staying. They have towles and chairs at the beach and private shuttle. Noone told us so we came prepared. They have a call button to get a return shuttle and towels and snack center on the way in. It's a shared beach with two other hotels. All in all excellent stay but the phone in the room and fridge didn't work. The fridge was not working when we came. I called to have it checked and the maintenance person told me it was working fine. However I stood over his shoulder and saw 40 degree temp and told him I saw 40 and need my meds cold. He changed it out but was not really trying too but I insisted. The fridge worked well. The phone worked day 1 then it didn't thereafter. We also needed towels requested them and didnt get them before we left out for dinner. We had 1 and used a pool towel. We noted that on the way out to dinner upon return we had turn down and towel. The rooms are spacious with a balcony. They have robes and all necessities. Really enjoyed our stay. Thus 4 stars not five based on small but important details....tell people the beach has towels and tell love guards your pool towels are blue. Noone wants to be questioned about where they are staying especially when other people did the same thing! How could I forget the bar pool was great the chix ciabatta sandwich and shrimp tostadas were really delicious! Frozen drinks were good...

My husband & I enjoyed this resort so much that we extended our vacation one more day. I Love the cleanliness of this property, the king sized bed room with balcony, walk-in shower, activities throughout the day for kids, valet parking, shuttle to the beach with a secluded area, in a convenient location of shopping & restaurants, etc. If you enjoy working out while on vacation this is a FYI...The cardio equipment was inundated, no weights, lack mats for stretching and/or ab work, & the sauna was out of order during my four night stay. Fortunately there is a YMCA down the street but the property is scenic for a run or brisk walk. Overall I gave it five stars for a relaxing, comfortable, & fun-filled stay. I would highly recommend you to stay here on your next vacation to Myrtle Beach.

Solid 4 stars for the price ($109/night), solid 3 stars if not price sensitive and looking for a top notch resort experience. Pros: Every employee was super friendly and helpful, one even jumped into the elevator to push my floor button when my hands were too full carrying my bags. Indoor and outdoor pool were nice. Rooms were very spacious and were stocked with kitchen supplies. I was upgraded to a 2 bed/2 bath (great deal for $109 per night). Shuttle service was prompt. View was nice overlooking the golf course. Bed and pillow were super comfortable. Plenty of outlet locations for the ironing board. Great location to view sunset from the balcony (if that matters to you be sure to ask for a room facing the sunset - there is one tower that sort of has its back to the sunset) Neutral: Location forces you to get in the car or shuttle if you want to see the beach. Travertine tile decor felt a bit dated, but that's just an opinion item (didn't feel too new or modern). Decorations were a bit tchotchke or hokey (fake bird cage in the lobby, overly plastic looking lobby chandelier that poses as crystal). Our room upgrade involved getting a handicapped room. It's understandable, but for someone who is not handicapped, the shower wasn't nearly as nice since the two whole walls were a shower curtain that couldn't keep the heat in. Cons: The majority of the items have exceeded their useful life, but management seems to be pushing them to save money. Silverware in Waterscapes restaurant was overdue to be replaced, some of the seats/chairs were overdue, towels by the pool were WAY old, faded, and shredding. In Waterscapes I overheard two employees trying to get accountability for two dinner trays because they had so few of them. I think management is pinching pennies (maybe through no fault of their own if the company isn't making enough money). Water pressure in the showers were also lacking. Beds had very thin comforters and there weren't any extra blankets. Smoke detector was in bedroom with a very bright green light (if you're used to sleeping in pitch black this might make it harder to fall asleep). I would stay at this hotel again if coming to the area as long as it's still a bargain compared to some of the beachside resorts. Definitely didn't have a bad stay for the price and the friendly staff made it pleasant.

First time staying here and definitely won't be the last! Of course there were a few minor things, like a small stain on the lower part of the curtain in the living area but realistically speaking no where is the true definition of perfect. But believe me when i say this place was very clean, comfortable & quiet! Bed was comfortable, and kitchen was fully equipped with all appliances, silverware & cookware. No real complaints! Will make this the primary choice when visiting Myrtle Beach!

I've stayed at this hotel before and I expect a certain level of service at this price point ($253 per night)My experience checking in this time was not pleasant. I waited in line 48 minutes. There were 2 clerks. It took approximately 12 minutes per person to check in. I approached the desk at 6:31 & received my keys from Cheryl at 6:40. I reserved a grande-king room. I was given a grande room with 2 beds. Although I didn't complain about that there are many families here why waste 2 beds on a single person. Lastly although the room cleanliness is to my liking, the balcony is not regularly cleaned judging from the cobwebs pictured here. The clerks had masks that they wore periodically. Neither wore theirs when I was at the counter. And another quick point, their uniforms look pretty shabby. I'll fitting and wrinkled. I was once a desk clerk for the Hilton chain and we had to were nice clean clothes that were starched and fitted.

Staff was wonderful and very accommodating. Waterscapes restaurant was horrible food and smelled like mold throughout the restataurant and hallways. Room was nice and clean but the staff kept forgetting to replinish coffee/tea, toiletries, etc.

Positive. Rooms are very clean, Negative. Very disappointed no toiletries No mouthwash had to go to the hotel store and purchased a 1.2 oz bottle of scope for $3.00 Tissue paper ran out the first night and when the room was cleaned it was never replaced. Shower had very little/Luke warm water. Toilet paper holder was left half empty and not replaced Lotions same deal. Note!! Every hotel I've stayed in never had to ask for i incidentals. Don't think I'll ever come back. Oh. No mini Bar.

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon! Gorgeous property. Their honeymoon package was very nice. They had chocolate covered strawberries sent to our room 2 nights in a row with sparkling cider (we don't drink alcohol), very good! The suite was very nice and clean and spacious. The bathroom was nice. We had a jacuzzi tub! The bed was very comfortable. There was one day where our room didn't get cleaned when we were out all day. The front desk quickly had housekeeping take care of it so that was good. The pool area and hot tub was very nice. They had a nice seating area around the pool and there was a nice patio right outside the restaurant. We received vouchers to have breakfast for free which was nice but the food was just ok. Our honeymoon package also included a couple's massage. The massage therapists came to our room. We loved that! And our massage therapists Amanda and Jessica were GREAT!! I would definitely recommend getting a massage!
