“Island paradise”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

people found this review helpful

We have stayed @ Island Vista since 1 year after they opened and love it. The elevators are clean & fast. The rooms are getting a little tried now - carpets, mattrees need to be updated as well as rooms need repainting but the views are beautiful & having laundry in the room is wonderful. The restaurant staff & food is great. Again the carpet their has seen better days. The bar @ the pool is too expensive so bring your own down to the pool.

Room Tip: We love the Grand King room on a high floor..

“Wonderful place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

My daughter were in town to tour the local University (roughly 25 minutes away). We stayed in a 1 bedroom unit that was on the top floor. It was very clean and had an amazing view of the ocean. There are 3 very fast elevators centrally located in the lobby, which was nice since we were staying on the top floor (penthouse level, 13th floor). We had a minor A/C issue but once I called the front desk, a maintenance worker was there within 5 minutes and promptly fixed the problem. He even came back later to make sure the issue was still resolved. The pool are was very nice, especially the indoor area (it was a little too cool to enjoy the outdoor pool).
We had a very refreshing stay in a wonderful hotel that made us feel welcome. We are looking forward to a return trip!

Room Tip: Higher floors have a better view of the ocean.

“beautiful hotel, gorgeous scenery”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

We stayed for a week in the 3 bedroom oceanfront condo and had a wonderful time. The condo was spacious and had a very nice balcony and ocean view. the only thing i could complain about was the parking, it was onsite which was good, but the garage is low and small so its hard to maneuver an suv in.

Room Tip: definitely go for oceanfront, huge balconies and great views!

“Locals and will NOT stay again!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

people found this review helpful

We are locals in Myrtle Beach and we visit quite a few different Hotels just for the pools, the pools were not heated as it stated and the pools broke my husband and son out in a rash and welts. I personally would not recommend this Hotel to my family who come to town to visit or to anyone in that matter. It took the management team more trhan week to get back on touch with me after I had called on 4 different times to get a phone call in return.

Dear Guest…

We had another understandable comment regarding the issue with our pool temperature earlier this month. Please allow us to repeat a segment of that reply:

“We must apologize for the water temperature in our pools during your stay. There are several heating mechanisms for our many pools, and we unfortunately had two malfunctions back to back this year. Parts must be ordered and repairs are made immediately, but this apparently occurred during your stay… mechanical issues like that can’t be predicted, but we feel that our staff could have been better informed and therefore more able to inform you. We are very sorry for your inconvenience.”

We have not had any sort of complaint of a rash or welts as you mentioned from any other guest. Our pool technician arrives at 4:30am each day and is not only very much “by the book” with his procedures, but he goes beyond the required maintenance each day by putting a personal touch in the care and cleanliness of our pools. We often receive compliments on this particular facet of our resort, and we regard these with pride. It’s possible that there may be some allergy that led to the problem, but in any case, we are always sorry to hear when any guest has an unsatisfactory experience.

We value your business, and hope you’ll choose the Island Vista again in the future…

Sincerely,

Management and Staff
Island Vista Resort
