"Place to stay with family"

"The hotel is very family oriented, it is also intended for extended stays, with kitchenettes. Wish the menues at the restaurants were a little more extensive."

"I LOVED the Dunes Village Resort! It has so many activities built into the property. The location is great. The room was very spacious and clean. The full kitchen really came in handy. I would definately recommend this hotel to anyone!"

"Nice hotelcondo they will try to sell you timeshare but great amenities great for the kids with indoor water park with slides and water themes adequate for all ages. Small slides for the tiny ones and big water slides for the big kids indoor facility allows you to stay out of the heat which can be intense in mid summer. Lazy river and pools were adequate and fun for kids. Room was a 1 bedroom suite had sofa pull out 2 queen beds in 1 bedroom, murphy bed in living room more than adequate for our family of 3 and could have held more. Cooking facilities on premises great if you don't want to eat out all the time kitchen was fully equipped. Tile floor in most of place carpet in bedroom and living room. Towels were old and worn and would recommend bringing your own towels washcloths and couch could have used steam cleaning but other than that great place to stay. All units seem to have different decor ours was average and view was not direct ocean but was as expected as no ocean front were available. Small balcony served its purpose."

"the suite was considerable smaller than expected; the carpet was in disrepair; the table and appliances showed their age and wear; took WAY too long to get hot water in the shower."

"If you are taking the kids to the beach this is the place for you. I did love that aspect but it was allot of children there in the indoor water park. I guess we should have expected that since it was peak summer time. I don't know, it was just allot of kids. I didn't like being on the 1st floor because everyone in the pool could look in your room but its great when transporting the kids around. It's in a great location on Ocean Blvd near everything. The beach didn't have too many people on it and the water was very nice. It has a kitchen i would advise using it because the cafe is pricey especially with kids and the buffet is not worth it even though the kids were free for 3 and under. Not enough variety. Overall there were some downfalls but I would go back just at a different time."

"The room was extremely clean when we arrived, which is rare for a room on the beach, as we have stayed at other resorts in Myrtle Beach and the rooms were not as clean. The only negative is that housekeeping never showed on one of our days. We did request fresh towels and they arrived in minutes. Overall, this was a very nice place to stay on the beach. The staff was courteous and the resort is in a nice location, on the northern end of Myrtle."

"Can't wait to come back next summer vacation"

"We would highly recommend Dunes village Resort to anyone we know. The beach was great and just steps away from the hotel room, the pools and the indoor waterpark. The kids loved the waterpark, the lazy rivers and the pools which stay open until 11PM. Breakfast buffet is ok. The location is great since it's close to so many restaurants, shops and Broadway. Should definitely try Carolina Roadhouse, 5 minutes from the hotel. The food is delish!"

"We picked the hotel because it had oceanfront rooms and we were willing to pay for it. Unfortunately we were stuck in a first floor room beside the kitchen looking at the pool deck, and because there were no other oceanfront rooms available, we were stuck. It was our anniversary, so we weren't going to spend the time to find another place. The hotel also did not compensate us for our unhappiness. Ok hotel for the money, especially for kids, but this experience left a sour taste in my mouth and probably won't go back. Just be sure if you pay for oceanfront to get the view, you are a few floors up! Probably shouldn't have reserved it online."

"The hotel had exceptional views of the ocean, not to mention the pool and jaccuzi. The waterpark inside the hotel was great fun for the kids and a nice place to get out of the sun. The housekeepers where extreemly polite and respectful of your needs. We stayed an extra night because we had so much fun. For a family of 5, (children 1,7, and 9 years of age) we could not have planed a better vacation even with triple the budget we had set in place. The town had so many fun things to do that we could have stayed anouther week and not have gotten bored! I highly recomend two things that are must for anyone going to myrtle beach. 1. the slingshot and 2. the endangered cat exhibit. For a fee you can get your picture taken with a bengle tiger that sits on your lap!! So Cool!!!!!!!!!!!! Myrtle Beach was a very clean town with very polite people everywhere we went. The restaurant selection is unreal and if you love golf this is your paradise. We will be back!!"

"I wished they could have cleaned in the morning versus late afternoon, ie nap time. Also, they request children with swim pants stay out of the outdoor pool. They are therefore limited to the lazy river or ocean. Had I known that I honestly would have gone somewhere else. I will next time for the issue of the pool. It is hard to explain to a 2 year old that she is not allowed in there, although I see others in swim diapers in there."

"I have been going on vacation to Myrtle Beach for 25 years so I know what the hotels there offer. The Dunes Village is one of the best on "the strip". It is composed of two towers, The Palmetto and The Palms. We were in the Palmetto. When we arrived, a bellhop greated us and brought us a cart, then proceded to unload our van and show me and my children (ages 3 6) to our room while my husband arranged parking. The bellhop even unloaded the carts for me in the room. The room was very nice and super clean. The colors of the curtains and bedspread are a little "loud" for my taste, but they are modern and tropical. We had an oceanfront efficiency and the kitchen was nicely stocked with flatware, a few pots and pans, glassware, bowls, plates, cooking accessories and some serving bowls. I was impressed that the freezer had an ice maker. The bed was comfortable enough but the pull out sofa was not as great. Then again, I have yet to see a sofa-bed that does sleep good. They had extra pillows in the room and the pillows were nice and fluffy. The in-room safe is free and easy to use. The air conditioner worked fine and did not leak out onto the balcony; common at the beach. The indoor waterpark is the biggest draw to this hotel. There are actually two, one in each tower. We used the one in the Palmetto the most because it has the two waterslides that are ok for little ones; adults too! The complex is out of the sun, but not enclosed. The sides have huge bay windows that allow for cross-ventilation. There was always a nice warm breeze blowing through. I never noticed that strong chlorine fog you get with some indoor pools. My children loved the lazy river with it's addition of some shark shaped boats as well as the usual tubes. There are so many neat little things about the waterpark that I can't list them all. Even with all the kids running around, the pool area was very clean. There was a lot of staff around at all times maintaining everything. They were all very friendly."

"This very affordable hotel is located on one of the nicest parts of Myrtle Beach. It's clean, well staffed and with very affordable food options (snack bar coffee and snacks sold at regular prices, dining in cafe inexpensive). The indoor water park was much appreciated on overcast days. In short, this hotel is a very good value and, if you have children, it's your best option in Myrtle Beach."

"We had an awesome view of the ocean from our room. Plenty of water activities to be used (outdoor pools, lazy rivers, indoor water slides). Easy access to the beach and is near the main business road with plenty of places to eat. Kitchenette was a big plus and the 2 TV's let my wife and I watch what we wanted on our set and the kids what they wanted to watch on theirs. Very family oriented and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking to just get away from everyday life and relax."

"We enjoyed our stay, and will be back. The kids loved the water park. The grown ups loved the Tiki bar!"

"I have two girls, 6 and 12. They loved everything about it. Especially the waterpark and lazy river."

"This hotel was awesome. I went with my 3 children and we had a great time. From the Water Slides to the Lazy River, we enjoyed it all. They only downside was having to cross the 4 lane road to get to the parking garage. There wasn't even a crosswalk, and with 3 small children it was very unsafe."

"We really enjoyed our stay at the Dunes Village. Our room was clean and comfy the staff was friendly. The resturant in the downstairs (Palmetto Tower) is convienent. The staff is very friendlly and the prices are fairly cheap. The staff is friendly. We only had a few minor complaints...The sink in the dressing area was backed up, nothing too major. Also, we had an ocean front room on the 2nd floor that overlooked the pool. This was pretty annoying during the night time hours. We coulnd't sit on the balcony and hear the waves of the ocean. And there were palm trees in front of our balcony partially obstructing our view of the ocean. However, these were minor things to deal with. I am pleased with the over all cleanliness and up keep of this hotel. Would definitely recommend this hotel. And will stay there again."

"Loved the hotel but it was just me and my husband and the hotel is very kid friendly with the waterslides and all but we would have enjoyed it more if our room wasnt directly over the pool with all the screaming kids all day and night. The room was nice and clean. The bed was ok. Not the best but for sure not the worse."

"This was one of the best hotels that I have ever stayed in. The rooms were huge and very clean and the view of the beach was spectacular. The hotel location was another big plus, it is situated in the perfect location where it wasn't to crowded but you were still close to all the attractions. The only downside is that the parking garage for the hotel is across the street, it was kind of inconvenient."

"Clean, friendly staff, quiet-it seemed like the entire hotel was filled with families and well-behaved teenagers. Great location, it was a great vacation. I will be going there again. I will be vacationing their yearly if everything stays the same. May even visit for Thanksgiving due to the great indoor water park."

"Kids had a great time - we went in the spring and it rained quite a bit. Indoor water park was a real hit. I So was the tennis court... other places had court fees. Rooms were very comfortable. Great beach front location."

"Overall great stay; very clean, lots to do for the kids; very reasonable rates.Would definitely stay there again. Only negative was our room had steps at both ends of long hallway so loading unloading was a bit difficult."

"The hotel staff was very friendly and courteous. The hotel was clean and the rooms did NOT smell like smoke! The resort had lots of kids activities to keep our children busy. The beach access was great. My kids loved the pools and water slides!"

"Clean well maitained. Teenage boys loved the great pools water slides. Mom Dad loved the oceanview, easy beach access the hot tub! The service was great. We had a concern about the toilet working properly upon arrival. I made 1 phone call maintenance came and fixed it within 5 minutes. He was friendly, polite did his job with a smile. We got a great deal had a great start to our vacation."

"The hotel is very clean and they have helpful clerks. The outdoor pool was a little dirty. Will stay there again."

"I've stayed at this hotel on two different occasions and am very pleased with the cleanliness and comfort of the hotel. The price is a little more than some others but you definitely get what you pay for. The hotel is very family-friendly and the water slides are loads of fun. Pools are clean and staff check the poolhot tub water often. The breakfast buffet in the resturant was "pricey" for adults and children...but other than that it is a great place to stay. I'll definitely stay with them in the future."

"This hotel is in a fantastic location - near enough to everything that a short drive is not an issue, but far enough away that you are not plagued by noise or chaos. The water park was a huge treat for my kids; they really enjoyed playing there after the sun went down."

"We enjoyed our stay at Dunes Village. The value for what we paid was good, but I don't think we would have paid the full regular price to stay here. It is very comparable to other resorts that we have stayed in along the strand that are considerably less a night during this time. If it is worth it for you to pay more to have two TV's in your room, and some waterslides in the pool area then go for it. Otherwise make sure you get it on sale. Overall great resort and I'm sure you would enjoy your stay here."

"THIS IS OUR SECOND VISIT TO THE DUNES. OUR ADULT CHILDREN AND 4 GRANDCHILDREN HAVE RETURNED 4 TIMES. ALWAYS CLEAN,STAFF FRIENDLY, WATER SLIDES AND PLAY AREA FOR CHILDREN ARE GREAT. NO GETTING INTO A CAR AND DRIVING TO WATER PARKS. THE ONLY NEGATIVE THING IS IF YOU ARRIVE AT THE BUSY CHECK IN TIME IS IT OFTEN TIMES A LONG WAIT. WE JUST ARRIVE EARLY CHECK IN AND WAIT FOR OUR ROOM TO BE READY. I RECOMMEND THE DUNES VILLAGE RESORT IN MYRTLE BEACH, SC. DSA"

"The hotel did not have room service or a bellman. I guess we are a little spoiled. I would also have liked them to have a game room."

"The online description said the room had a full size sleeper sofa ad when we checked in it didn't. I called the front desk and had a new room within 10 minutes. Staff was friendly and were sure to open doors and help with check in and out. Kids loved the waterpark. Best trip to Myrtle Beach yet and we go 2-3 times a year!"

"Great Hotel. Water park was lots of fun. My husband and I don't have kids yet, but this is definitely a place to bring families. We cooked all of our meals in the room. Pools had tons of seating. No complaints!"

"We were looking for an inexpensive place on the beach for the evening. Originally booked in a place two miles inland at twice the price. My wife "found" the Dunes and it was a great surprise. Ocean view, balcony, spacious room and great staff. Not the most elegant place but hey it was on the beach"

"We really enjoyed our stay at the Dunes Village. We arrived early and were checked in at 1:30pm instead of 3pm! This worked out great and allowed us more time at the beach! A friend came down to photograph our family and was given a visitors pass in the parking deck. This was very convenient and very appreciated. Our maid even covered up my daughter's baby doll on the bed!! All and all the room, amenities were awesome! Our family will definitely stay here again."

"The hotel is more of a family resort, but the rooms were neat, clean, spacious, and had all accomodations. The bed was comfortable as well. The only odd happening was the maid stating "housekeeping", using her key to come in and heated her lunch in the microwave and left. The parking garage is across and down the street just a small walk however they offer 24 hr valet for a small fee. Overall I would recommend it to any family, but not a party destination...."

"Thats funny one of the question is would i recommend this hotel...i already have lol...i was recommending it while i was there. i loved everything about it...even though there may seem to be alot of people there its as if your alone...kids everywhere and you could still relax by the pool everyone just sits back and enjoys the view. wonderful place to stay with the family or as a couple...every kids friendly, everything you could want it there u actually wouldnt have to leave the resort for anything. entertainment, activities, dining....we live in nc and usually went to carolina beach...dunes village changed that its there or nothing now...u wont be disappointed"

"Very friendly and safe hotelresort for couples and families. The actual hotel prices were pricey, but with the Hotels.com price it was very affordable. Very friendly staff as well. On our first day one of the two TV's (big flat screens) didn't work. Maintenance had a replacement within ten minutes. New and nice place. I would definately go again."

"The Hotel is a beautiful hotel as you drive up to it. The inside was even better. We stayed for the oceanfront and indoor water park. We were not expecting the room to be as nice as it was. Very clean, spacious, and comfy. The kitchette was a great feature in the studio room. The water indoor water park between the two buildings was fun for my son and myself. The water slides zipped me down. I enjoyed the way the hotel put a grassy area before the beach for the guests to enjoy and then a walkway to the beach. Security did a great job weeding out the people that were trying to use the facilities that were not staying there. The parking garage was across the street of which I heard some people moan about that. Of which is fine, because it does not take from the scenery of the beach or the hotel and it is covered anyways keeping my car from the elements. Your car would be safe there. All in all two thumbs up from my wife and myself of which are prior hotel employees and are very picky."

"The indoor waterparks are great for kids, they didn't want to leave! Also, the waterslides are fun for adults as well :) We stayed on the terrace level so we had a huge balcony off our room that was great. Great place for the price!"

"It was a wondedrful stay and really had a great time! LOVED THE OCEANVIEW, it was beautiful!"

"It was awesome....."

"I was so impressed with are experience at the dunes village that i would really recommed it to anyone. We went with our four kids who are all under the age of 7 and they loved the indoor waterpark and direct access to the beach. Everyone was always so helpful and we were sad to leave. If you have young children get pay the money to have them park your car, it is soooo worth it."

"The Hotel was great in every aspect! I definately did not expect for it to be as nice as it was for the price i paid!! I would recommend it to anyone.. It is right on the beach, it is clean, it has all the indoor and outdoor pools it says.... There is PLENTY to do while your there. A for me!! And definately book through hotels.com, they help you with everything!!"

"kitchen are is very nice and view was great"

"The hotel staff were excellent we loved the indoor water parks, especially the lazy river. Our room was roomy, very clean and we were nothing but impressed. We'll definitely stay at The Dunes Village Resort next time we visit Myrtle Beach."

"We just got back from a three night stay and were extremely pleased with this property, its location right on the beach, and the great value overall. The room was large and nicely appointed. Our balcony looked directly out over the pool and the ocean just beyond. Kitchen area had everything you'd need for a short stay. The staff was friendly and eager to please. Only minor complaints: 1) Poor linens on the bed 2) Allowing babies small children in the hot tub."
