Sea Watch Resort, Myrtle Beach

I have stayed at Seawatch for many years and in fact I have been there four times this year. Our first two stays were wonderful!! Our rooms were in the South Tower and they were great! When we returned in Sept. our room was in the North Tower. We went to Seawatch to rest and relax and watch movies we didn't have time to watch at home. All our other units had DVD players, but this one didn't. It didn't even have the few necessities we needed like a cookie sheet for pizza or a hot mitt to get food out of the oven. When questioned, the staff said that not all the units have the same thing, so there is no way of knowing what your room will have and what it will not. So we learned to assume that whatever you think you might need you better take it with you! It was very disappointing we could not watch the movies we wanted to. So, when I booked for Oct. I asked for a room with a DVD player and told management how important it was that we have a room with one in it. Guess what? No DVD player AGAIN and the staff really didn't care. We have stayed at this resort and never had a problem until recently.

My family and I stayed here last week July in a 2 bedroom condo. It was the worst place I have stayed at in Myrtle beach. Our room smelled horrific like wet dog and mildew. The bathrooms were not clean. Mold stains on our shower curtain. The furniture was old and outdated. The kitchen appliances were run down. Overall we were not happy with the experience we had there. There is no way I would stay there again and I am surprised wyndam has it's name on such a hotel. We were very disappointed.

I loved the facted that is was clean and nice. I also like the facted that there was alot of pools and the beach was in walking distant. It was a lot of space in the rooms to walk around in. Real good family and kid place. Good house keeping when you need them. The only thing i didn't like was the beds weren't so comfortable and no locks on the bedroom door. Other then that it was a nice stay.

This was our second trip to Sea Watch, we checked into the North Tower 10th floor Sunday evening and were to be there until the following Sunday. Upon arrival to our room I got upset because the toilet had been used and left unflushed. It was immediatly cleaned, however the initial damage was done. The management made no apologies but did inspect our room the next day. Our king size bed mattress sagged on both sides, very uncomfortable, not suitable for resting or sleeping. I was disappointed because our stay last year had been great, this unit however did not meet my expectations, it needs alot of updating. On Wednesday June 1st the Bikers started checking in to the resort. (I was told by the desk clerk it was Biker Week- and the way I was told implied I should have stayed home or I could check out if I didn't like what was happening) As a guest I did not feel safe exiting or entering the resort. Parking my one vehicle was a issue. Bikers were given one parking space for each bike, one for the vehicle that pulled in a load of bikes and one for the trailer that held more bikes. Their was little security in the parking garage until Thursday night and as a guest I knew trouble was brewing. My husband and I decided to cut our vacation short and we left on Friday. No apologies from the Management of the resort. If we decide that we want that type of experience again we will surely return or maybe we will seek out a place where all guests feel welcome and the staff/management goes that extra mile to satisfy.

We have been vacationing at Seawatch for 8 years, and we have loved every minute of it. We usually rent a two bedroom from the owner, so we know exactly which condo we are getting, since we prefer a corner condo. All the pools are kept clean, the restaurant is great, and this is in a super nice area of the beach. We love Seawatch, and many of our friends feel the same way. We go every year.

We stayed in the North Tower in room 1106. It could have used a deep cleaning in this one bedroom unit. The place is in need of a do-over. We have stayed at Sea Watch many years but it seems that every year no changes have been made to upgrade the resort. It is sad to see such a great place to visit at the beach go down in value. The best thing about our stay here was our friendly housekeeper who went out of her way to make sure that what we needed she took care of with a smile on her face. I do hope they spend some money and keep this resort a positive place to enjoy a family vacation.

Apparently all the good reviews were back in 2007 and 2008, well don't go there now!! The service is crappy, the pools and deckside are DIRTY and SALTY, SANDY, not cleaned well at all.....The ABSOLUTE WORST SECURITY.........Very disappointing vacation and won't stay there again........

We were under the impression that there would be a hide away bed, other than that the room was nice. Great view. While on vacation for a week at the SeaWatch Resort, our vehicle was robbed. We were parked on the top floor of the garage where our vehicles could be seen from our room. The suspect stole a portable DVD player which was not even attached to the seats, but hidden underneath. They took a GPS system. The kicker is that they even took both bench seats out of the van. My family had to drive back to Virginia laying down in the back of the van. Luckily they didn't take our children's car seats so we were able to use the other vehicle to get them home safetly. The management of the hotel never checked on us once to make sure we didn't need anything. Their security really needs beefing up. They had no cameras except for one at the front lobby. I never saw security patroling at all in the parking area until after we got robbed. The police that came to the scene didn't even take finger prints on our vehicle. No one cared at all. I will never stay here again. Oh, and the pool was NASTY!!!!!

This is a great location, super water amenities, nice beach. IMPORTANT to understand: SeaWatch resort is a combination of a Hotel, Wyndham Timeshare units, and privately owned units. I suspect the bad reviews are about private units whose furnishings & maintenance can vary widely. For many years, we've stayed here every summer in the Timeshare units - they are consistently excellent, with a nice activities program. North tower = mostly hotel, a few timeshare; Villas=all timeshare; South tower = 2 floors timeshare, mostly private.

We stayed in a 3 bedroom oceanfront in the South Tower. It was mediocre at best. The condo needed a really deep cleaning and many small repairs. I wouldn't sit on the sofa without putting a beach towel down. It just felt dirty. I cleaned the shower before using it! My brother stayed in a 3 bedroom unit in the North Tower the same week. His unit was very nicely decorated, very clean, and they're staying there again in 2010. I'm also staying again in 2010, but have changed units and owners. I rented through a personal owner on VRBO.com. The beach is beautiful, wonderful location, and pools are great. Definitely a family resort. If you're looking to party - forget it. Unless you're into Dora the Explorer or Elmo, you'll be sorely disappointed. So - just be very careful from whom you rent and you'll enjoy your stay. Also, don't think you need to pay for a direct oceanfront condo to have a great oceanfront room. You can save a lot of money and still have wonderful views by staying just one unit back from oceanfront.
