South Beach Resort, Myrtle Beach

I loved everything about South Beach resort...we had a 1 bedroom condo it was clean, comfortable and relaxing. This was our first visit and the service was excellent, the pools were wonderful and the beach club on the beach was were we spent most of our time...we loved the fact that we could relax on the beach and if we wanted to take a break from the beach and eat lunch we didnt have to pack up everything..because we had the beach club behind us..with a pool...i do think that they have to come up with a better system for the key card entry for the beach club...while i was relaxing inside the beach club on the second floor with our son because he wanted out of the heat...i became the door man...because you also need a key card to enter there...and just about every person that came to that door didnt have a card!!...that would be the only dislike i had....we really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back next year....we miss you already, south beach!!!!

we loved being here. we had such a good time. my grandaughters, who are both nine had the time of their lives. they loved the little dance contest, the loved decorating flip-flops, they love getting nails painted. they loved the pools, and the lazy river. Of course..so did the rest of us. it is a terriffic place!!

There was a dirty disposable razor in the kitchen sink. The glass table on the balcony still had chunks of food stuck to it, but the real kicker was that the toilet didn't even work. Luckily, my husband is a contractor and was able to fix the toilet. But the question I had for them was, "How could they have cleaned the toilet, when it didn't even flush?" I have not been an RCI member long. In all my history of travel in normal hotels (Ramada, Holiday, even some Best Westerns), I have never came across something so disgusting, or that my husband had to work on to make it liveable. It seemed everyday it was something. I did get them to re-clean the room. I received for a stay of 4 days and 3 people 2 bath towels. We re-used the bath towels for a couple days. Then I asked the resort if I can trade them for clean bath towels, and I was advised no. If I wanted clean ones, I would have to pay $12.95 for my own set of towels or buy detergent from them to wash the ones I had. I don't know...this may be standard...but you would think a Gold Crown resort would allow you to have more than one bath towel per person during a multiple day stay. As far as the washer goes...the resort advertises a washer/dryer in every room, but actually you share one with your neighbor. It is in the entry way of two rooms. The towels are petty, especially compared to what took place 4/28. My husband was up and out early morning and left my daughter and I to sleep in. About 9 AM I woke to someone walking in our room. The sound of the door kind of startled of me, and I sat and said hello looking over to the door. Since I was sleeping, I was not dressed fully. There was a strange man standing there. I was very scared and startled. I asked him if I could help him. He said as if it was no big deal, "Oh hi, I was suppose to check the room. Did you just check in or something?" I advised him that I did not, and I was not scheduled to check out until tomorrow. He said ok and left. My husband came back shortly afterwards. I was still startled. I thought you should be able to feel safe and secure in a locked room. He was very upset a man walked in on my daughter and I, and also did not knock knowing someone may not be dressed (or partially as I was). I went ahead and called the front desk. I advised them the man claimed to be a worker, but they need to check it out and see why or who was in my room. Why wasn't I informed someone was coming to the room? Was he really a worker, or a man with a key? I advised them how upsetting the situation was. They said they would research and callback. They called back 30 minutes later and said it was okay...the man was suppose to go into room A but accidentally went into B. It was no big deal to them at all. It was scary and startling to me...but no apology whatsoever. I guess when I agreed to stay there...I must have given their workers permission to see my body. This resort just seem to be a mess. Everyday was something else. They did not have organization, know who was where or doing what. They charged me a $33 cleaning fee when I checked in. Then they tried to collect again when I left (and after all I went through...not sure what I paid for. I know I left room in better shap than I got it...working toilet and all). I bought 2 bottles of wine that came up to $20. They debit my account the $20 three times. They have security bars that go down after dark & you need an entry code to get in to the resort. No one even advised us. The ammenities or horrible. The pillows felt like I was laying my head on dollar store bag of cotton balls. You had to try to fold pillows three times over to get all the cotton together so you could feel the pillow. When you ran the hot water in the kitchen sink, it sounded like a automatic rifle going off. It came out in quick, loud spurts. It was honestly one thing after another and the worst experience I have ever had staying at a resort or even cheap motel at that.

There wasn't anything I disliked about it and everything I loved about it. We had a one-bedroom condo with a wide-screen tv in the bedroom and living room. All the furnishings were comfortable and pretty. Our condo was like a medium sized apt.. We drove our car across the street to Breezes Beach Club, ate in the upstairs restaurant, and spent the day on the beach. What a wonderful, relaxing, and enjoyable trip. I left my heart at South Beach Resort!!!! The best place we ever stayed at. Nice staff, plenty of pools, clean rooms, the beach, location, ------ what else could you want ---- it is all right there at South Beach. I can't wait to go back and I hope it is real soon. Nanci E.

I've been an "owner" for a few years now , and although I sometimes use my points to go other places too , I'm always happy with my stays here. I've come at different times of the year and it's always a Clean, freindly, peaceful place to stay . The place is great to bring the family groups ... the 2 and 3 bedroom are HUGE ... like a luxury apt. ! I've actually cooked Thanksgiving dinner there one year ! So you can enjoy your vacation as a group, comfortably . Very clean,too !

My family is a VIP member and we enjoyed uor stay and will enjoy our stay in the future. Everybody there is a great help.They are very friendly.

best place I ever stayed. Very good service and staff. The pools are great, close to the beach, golf, and myrtle beach. Had a great time and shopping is also close.
