“Average room, great facilities--needs improvement.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed July 31, 2012

Stayed for three nights in a one room villa in the Royale Palms section of the resort. First of all, this property is absolutely huge. Multiple golf courses are surrounded throughout by condos, suites, and villas. Most villas seem to be individually owned. Unfortunately, my review is infulenced by the fact that I stayed in a villa that has been neglected over the past decade. I say decade only because of the outdated color schemes and electronics in the apartment. Normally my reviews aren't influenced by such things, but the very small televisions in the bedroom and living area were both non-flat screen and made smaller by the required letterbox format. To further age the villa, the TV in the living room was still attached to a VCR.

The maintenance of the villa came into question as the week went on. Each day, the bed was made--but each day my towels were not replaced and I had to call to get more delivered. Out of the five lamps in the villa, only two actually came equipped with lightbulbs (of which only one worked). Notes were left about this...but the notes were left unanswered.

Fortunately, this resort does have its high-spots in its convention facilities. This was a business trip, and the conference/banquet areas were newly updated or built with wonderful promenades and scenic areas abound. In addition, the food each night was five-star--something that isn't often seen at a convention resort!

Overall, the resort just needs some updating. I hold my review to an unfortunate room selection, as I was able to see in other rooms in other buildings as I visited colleagues and they were of *much* higher quality.

“Greal Place for Golfers!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 18, 2012

I recently spent a week at the Sea Trail Resort in Sunset Beach, NC for a conference. I stayed in a one bedroom villa in the Champions which has it's on pool and a very short walk to the conference center. It felt like a home away from home. If you're a golfer this would be this a great place to be! It's only a 5 minute drive to the beach and you have Myrtle Beach just 30 minutes away.

“Wonderful weekend!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 16, 2012

My family and I spent a weekend at Sunset Beach and stayed at the Sea Trail Resort. We stayed in a one bedroom villa. It felt like a home away from home. Check in was easy and quick. The grounds were beautiful. If you are a golfer this would be the place to be! I will be back again for sure!

“WILL NEVER COME BACK”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed July 12, 2012

We booked one room and they moved us to another room. It was nothing like the add that was shown. Ended up in a motel like room. NOT a condo that was book. Did not receive fresh towels on some days. We even called and ask for them 2 times and went by the desk one time still no towels. Great town ..sunset beach ....If we come back we will not stay at the SEA TRAIL ....

Room Tip: Pick some where else to stay . Leaking roof ....in the building we were in..

“Conference, July 2012”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed July 11, 2012

We were very excited by the pictures and our first impression. We were mistaken! The mini-suite is very mini. One room, tiny fridge, microwave was VERY out of date. Two coffee packs for entire week. Sheets were for a full bed and it was a king! (Top and bottom sheets) TV was small and too high up to be comfortable, oh, and had a VHS player.
I had to sleep on a blanket because sheets were so rough. Maids could not give us pillows; we had to call front desk. Two small pillows for bed. No fabric softener for towels or sheets! Believe me, they need it! Blinds kept messing up. Next door neighbors were loud!! Sound comes right through one door which is all that separates the mini-suite from the "villa". 1/2 of the outlets in room didn't work. One day we didn't get any new towels. We were told to wash our dirty dishes in bathroom sink and return to cupboar, with no soap! I can only guess they were clean when we used them! Bedspread looked dirty and so did top green blanket. We were as far from conference center as possible, and considering that we were attending a conference with over 300 attendees, we could have been clustered or within walking distance. We had to drive there, and to drive to pool and to get internet. No wifi in room. No room service during the day. No one made our bed, swept, or took trash. Killed huge roach in bathroom, too.
On the bright side, beach was beautiful, but not much parking. People were friendly, and area was lovely. Will probably come back but won't stay here. "Abandon hope, all ye who enter."

Room Tip: We have no idea about any other rooms. We do know that only ONE DOOR separates the mini-suite (what...
