Marriott Myrtle Beach :: "Service is Speedy and the Lobby Smells like Shea Butter"

Usually, we're turned off by hotels with excessively long names, but we'll make an exception to say nice things about the Myrtle Beach Marriott Resort & Spa at Grande Dunes, a name so long we refuse to waste the energy typing those nine words into this post again. (Get ready for lots of hotel synonyms!)

These accommodations are not designed for you to drop your bags and go spend your money elsewhere: The property has private beach access, a golf course, (this is Myrtle Beach, after all), a spa, fitness center and several restaurants; plus, rooms are sizable, there are quite a few outdoor--and one indoor--pools; service is speedy and the lobby smells like shea butter.

And that better be good enough for you, because the hotel--which we suspect largely draws convention attendees--is pretty secluded from the rest of Myrtle Beach. This is a bit of a bummer because the food and beverages offered onsite are pretty darn expensive.

Rooms at this caravansary (clearly we're struggling with synonyms now so we're going to wrap this up) start at about $300 per night. Surprisingly, despite being on the beach, few rooms have balconies, so if you're into that kind of thing be sure to secure one up front. And that's all we have to say about--oh fine, we'll just say it: Myrtle Beach Marriott Resort & Spa at Grande Dunes. Sigh.
