Fodor's Expert Review Myrtle Beach Marriott Resort and Spa at Grande Dunes

Entering this chic high-rise resort, with its airy wicker furniture, giant palms, and mahogany details, will take you away from the hubbub of Myrtle Beach and straight to a tropical locale. Green-and-gold guest rooms have plush carpet that makes them quiet and serene, perfect for watching the waves break on the beach. The spa, which has a full range of treatments, is top-notch, and the health club has well-maintained, state-of-the-art machines.
