Our family has stayed here for the past 5 years and love everything about this hotel. We appreciate most: The friendliness and knowledge of the staff - who don't just try to make a great first impression - but impressed us the entire stay. The cleanliness, convenience to everything, and excellent pools, water park and hot tubs make this such a wonderful place for everyone. This has become a family tradition for our family and we are pleased to recommend this hotel to couples and families of all ages.

My family (8 adults and 3 children) rented a four bedroom condo for three days at Thanksgiving. This was our second Thanksgiving at Dunes Village Resort and both times had a wonderful time. We really enjoyed the water park and the outdoor pools which were heated. The condo was great with plenty of room for everyone. We cooked a big Thanksgiving dinner in the kitchen and by planning our time, were able to have everything ready on time. The kitchen was very well eqipped with plenty of cookware and dishes. The staff was wonderful as we had several special requests and they went out of their way to accommodate us. Thanksgiving morning we all participated in the Surfside Beach Turkey Trot which was lots of fun and a great way to prepare for our feast later that day. We will be back next Thanksgiving.

While I must begin this review with a caveat stating that i am not a great fan of Myrtle Beach, I can honestly say that this hotel has went a long way toward changing my mind. The hotel is in a great location, close enough to anything that you may want to do, but far enough away from the boardwalk area to enjoy a peaceful beach.

I cannot say one negative thing about this hotel. The entire staff was courteous and went out of their way to be very friendly. The water park was perfect for the kids, and the view from the balcony was perfect for my wife and I. We liked the hotel so much that we changed our plans and jumped on the offer to stay an extra night at a reduced rate.

I highly recommend this hotel for families with kids. As parents our main concern is for our children. They had a blast, and with the hotel being away from the crowds there was never a concern for the safety of the kids at all.

If the timing and value lines up again we will definitley revisit this hotel.

Stayed there a few days the week of Thanksgiving. Had a great time! Our boys (8 and 5) loved the water park. The water park seems suited for kids up to at least 15 years old, so we'll be returning for many years. The property is well maintained and the pool area is clean. Our room was just what we were expecting. Athyna in the restaurant is awesome! Thanks for the coffees :) Don't let the parking situation worry you. There's plenty of parking for loading and unloading and the garage across the street feels no less secure than on site parking. Had one incident with an apparent homeless person who wandered in from the beach into the water park area. He seemed a little sketchy and tossed his sweat shirt into the corner of the room before leaving out the front door. All told he was in the room for about 15 seconds. I was able to notify the security guard and she took the situation very seriously even though it turns out he was mostly just using the property as a shortcut.
