“Excellent resort-best in Myrtle Beach”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

Took the family here for a few days over the Christmas vacation. Weather was winter cool, so we did not expect to be using outdoor pools/areas. They had the great outdoor pools heated to about 85 degrees, and the kids enjoyed swimming even though the outdoor temps were about 50-65 degrees. The 2 bedroom villa was beautiful, clean and very uptodate. Had equipped kitchen and washer/dryer. Small market had things you might need/forgot, made to order pizzas, salads for lunch and coffee-very convenient. Overall great trip and villa

“I'd Go Again !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012
4
people found this review helpful

We stayed here in Janurary for a little rest and relaxation. Good decision. The resort is great and they try to offer a lot of activities even in the off season. We were on the 14th floor of the Pine Building and although it is not directly on the beach, there is a great ocean view. The Pine building's location is also terrific because when it is a little chilly, you are right next to the workout facility and indoor pool. I'd go back again especially off season to avoid the crowds and traffic. All the comforts of home away from home.

Room Tip: Higher floors with an ocean view in the two back buildings. Close to the childrens pool, play area...

“The Best In Myrtle Beach”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

This resort is one of Marriott's best locations and is the best place to stay in Myrtle Beach.
The service, the amenities, and the Marriott Hotel next door provide all the facilities that you could possibly want. And the beachfront is some of the most isolated beaches on the Grand Strand. If you are a golfer then you will find their Golf Concierge Service to be both convenient and a money saver. One comment: I found other reviewers' remarks about cell phone service at the Ocean Watch to be laughable. Cell phone service depends on your cell phone carrier, not the resort that you are staying at. Our phone carrier gave us two or three bars out of four in the villa. Blaming a resort hotel for your cell phone service is like blaming your car dealer for traffic and potholes.

“We all wished we could stay longer”

We stayed at this high rise luxury spacious villa on the way to Orlando from Philadelphia.
The suite was more than what we expected. The suite was clean, luxurious, and spacious.
The family enjoyed the advanced cable with HD features and movies on TV. The kitchen was clean, spacious, and complete with dish cleaning supplies and pots and utensils.
The hotel stay was very comfortable and enjoyable.
