Good Return Trip Was here successfully four years ago and decided to try it again. For the second time in a row, we did not have a beach view. They put us in a building that was quite a walk from the beach and the pool. We were in the Pines building which is very close to the kids pool area and the Woodsey Parking. Nice enough building, fourth floor, balcony, two-bedroom unit with kitchen, living room and dining area. Second bedroom had two queen beds which can come in handy. Everything worked properly in the unit and we were very happy with the beds and the air conditioning. Our five nights and four days there were good. We went to the beach for the first two days. It was cloudy every morning and we didn't realize that we would get burnt on the beach, even though it was hazy all day. The second day was similar but we put up an umbrella. We had our own chairs that we carried to the beach. The beach at Myrtle is big and long and is kept very clean by the town. The third and fourth day I wen't down early to get chairs at the pool (the small pool) and we had coverings over our heads, so we were fine. The resort has a large pool and a small pool with the building in a U-shape around the pools. There are two hot tubs as well and the beach is directly behind the small pool. We ate breakfast in the room three times and went out to the buffet one morning which is located in the Marriott Hotel next door. The buffet is about 24.00pp but it was a good change of pace. We visited the pool bar each day for lunch and drinks and the service and food were excellent. There was hardly any notice of the Covid-19 virus as most people were not wearing masks. However, the staff in the hotel, timeshare and all restaurants had masks on. I did come across a problem with the restaurants for dinner. Many of the restaurants were close on Sunday and Monday, our first two nights. 80% of the restaurants in Myrtle Beach do not take reservations. So you basically have to show up and take your chances that the wait won't be outrageous. Tough to make plans that way. We went to the Carolina Seafood and Steak restaurant on the first night and we had a twenty minute wait, which was fine. The food was so-so, at best. The fish was VERY salty and the rest of the food was just ok. Not worth the money (200.00 for four people). One night we went to Broadway on the Beach and to The Tap Room (restaurant). This place not only didn't take reservations, but they didn't take your name either. They just kept telling people to come back in a half-hour or an hour and they SHOULD have more tables at that time. Insane. We decided to just hang around and after 15 minutes, we were seated. Loads of people had left after hearing about the wait. I don't understand how the place doesn't lose business doing the seating that way. Then, it turns out, the menu was drastically reduced from some of the favorites that we saw on the website. Shouldn't they update the website with the new menu??? Just bad business practices. We then went to one of our favorite BBQ places (separate review). They took off the menu Pulled Pork, Pulled Chicken, Corn on the Cob, Mac n'Cheese, Corn Bread. They can't even call themselves a BBQ place anymore. That was the Carolina RoadHouse. After waiting a half hour to go in, it was totally disappointing. I had bbq chicken breasts that looked like they came off a cornish hen. The two Italian restaurants we went to took reservations. Luigi's and Ciao were both excellent and we would return to those. Things are going downhill, it seems, in the area but the Resort is great.
