The kids and I loved our stay here! We didnt have to walk far to get to the beach. The pool and lazy river were nice in the evening, It was an overall quiet place to stay. I loved the on site security as well. It made me feel safer traveling as a single Mom with two young children.

The food at buckets bar and grill was delicious. Parking was easy. The beach was gorgeous and our teens lived all the different pools. The room was well appointed and extremely comfortable. Everything you need to cook meals in the kitchen. Tons of towels!

I loved the apartment, had a beautiful view of the ocean and the town. Comfy, two bathrooms and one bedroom, huge balcony, good kitchen, two TVs. Oceanfront on some of the nicest parts of Myrtle Beach. Clean, and great price.

The main drag is only a few minutes by car, this is the quieter (and I would say nicer) part of town, less touristy, beach is beautiful and clean and the price was great. Parking garage is pretty good. Only drawback is having to check in a few blocks away certain times because there is not front desk staff 24-7. However I had a great experience and would definitely return.

The room was OK, but needed dusting, one of the chair, legs on the dining table was broken, the blinds will not work in the bedroom, so we had to manually close them and open them, one of the handles on the drawer in the kitchen was broken, and the sliding door to the patio was extremely hard to open and close. These things were reported to the hotel upon discharge and some before we were leaving, but nothing was done before we left.

1st unit had soiled sheets, terrible TV access, non-functioning sliding door to balcony, essentially couldn’t sit & take advantage of ocean view. We were moved to another unit, which took an entire day, that had a non-functioning thermostats so we were freezing all night as we weren’t able to control it. A small refund of 1/4 my total dollars layout was given (not yet credited) so awaiting that.

The first room we where given was dirty. The bathroom looked filthy the kitchen refrigerator looked like it came out of an abandoned home. It was very uncomfortable. The second location that we switched to looked a little cleaner but it wasnt! You could barely get the air conditioner to come on, one of the beds where broken and you have to sit on it very slowly the sheets for the pull out couch caused my child to break out in a rash and his face and eye was swollen, the kitchen stove was broken.and looked unsafe.i feel like i was completely over charged for my accommodations fiven. I will never come back to forest dumes! EVER!

Location is great and it's in a very nice and quiet part of the beach. Very close to the beach and having 3 pools and 2 hot tubs is a plus! There is also a restaurant on the ground level so if you don't feel like going anywhere, thisnis a great option and drinks are good. The room has a nice set up with a full kitchen. The balcony is my most favorite part.

We stayed in room 301, I asked for accommodations for 3 adults. We got a king bed and pull out couch. This room should not be listed for the pull out couch, it was completely metal springs with the floor being more comfortable thank the mattress. I ended up having to go to target at spend $45 on an air mattress that we then left in the foot rest of the living room so hopefully the next person doesn’t have to pay to sleep on metal springs. That room should just be listed as a king bed not one that accommodates 4 adults. Will not stay at Forest Dunes again.

Price was reasonable. Very short walk to the beach. Just across the street. New small appliances in the kitchen. Lots of dishes, pots and pans, and flatware. Two coffee pots - one regular and one Keurig. Plenty of room in the living room/kitchen area. There was a full bath and a half bath. Obviously an attempt to freshen up the full bathroom. However, the paint job was lacking - needed another coat. Appears water had damaged the baseboards in the kitchen and bath which was poorly repaired. The condo is at the complete end of the building which meant we had to travel the entire building to get to the elevator that took us to the beach and the parking lot. The parking lot is separate from the building also on the opposite end from the elevator, which meant to get to the car we had to walk to the front of the building to catch the elevator and then walk to the back of the building where our car was parked.
The decor was really nice. Lots of beach pictures and pillows. Very cute condo. We liked Forest Dunes but would not want to stay at that end of the building again.

Well it started off great. The front desk was friendly and also came up to help with the A/C. The parking garage said vehicles under 6' 8\" should park on the 2nd floor. I pulled my truck up to the measuring bar and it was super close so I didn't want to risk it. I parked on the first floor. at 11:30 PM, we hear a loud knock as if the cops are outside. The security guards informed us if we didnt move our vehicle, it would be towed, at 1130 PM! So here we are, on an anniversary vacation, with no kids, and we are getting woken up at 1130 PM. I went down and moved my truck, and had about 2 inches of clearance, so it was close!. Also, it is worth mentioning, there were other open spots so it wasn't like I was taking a spot from someone. We then called the front desk and asked if there was a policy on what time they could wake there guests, because it seemed too late to us. She informed us that it was a courtesy call, rather than just towing it. We told them we understand the couteus call and it is appreciated, but if the tow truck isn't sitting out there waiting, could it not wait until the morning? To which she replied, \"Well I will tell the security guards not to give you a courtesy call next time, and it will just be towed\". Then hung up the phone. So they have weird policies where they can knock on your door at any time of the night because of \"courtesy\", which is a cover for them measuring and towing vehicles in the middle of the night while people are there on vacation.

The rooms are not updated at all. There’s tons of rust on refrigerators. Toilets constantly run , The staff is unfriendly & unhelpful. I may have met 1 friendly staff member at the desk during my 8 day stay . The swimming pools were too cold to swim in & we asked daily multiple times for a heater to be put on to warm the pool at least slightly . For 1600 for a week , the pool should be 24hrs especially because security stays there all night . I definitely would not stay again just due to multiple issues that were not addressed.

Run Away

We left our stay at forest dunes a day early because we just could not take the grossness any longer. This property is awful. I took pictures to show the dirt, roaches, and disrepair. We will never stay here again. We couldn’t even lock the balcony door and the balcony next door was close enough for someone to climb over to ours.

Because of an error on Travelocity's website, I inadvertently picked Forest Dunes to extend my stay at Dunes Village resort in Myrtle Beach by one night. The photograph on the listings for the two different hotels is identical and wrong for either hotel. Because of the inflexibility of Travelocity and Forest Dunes and your unwillingness to switch my second night to where I originally checked in, I had to relocate to Forest Dunes for the second night. No one was willing to accept responsibility for YOUR error. I will no longer use Travelocity as a result of this experience, unless you refund one night's stay to me. Or to be more precise, I will use Travelocity to locate hotels, and then deal directly with the hotel.

We stayed in room 207, when we arrived, the room was filthy, had not been vacuumed, cheerios on the floor, counter top was so dirty, after I cleaned it off with Bleach, got all the stains up, I knew they never even cleaned the counters in the kitchen and bathroom before we got there. We had to wipe everything down. Then there was a thunderstorm our last night there, the drainage system in the air conditioning closet, started banging loudly,we taped it on our phone so management could hear what we went through for 2 hrs. Woke us up at 3am, went on until 5 am. We went to the office to see if we could get a later check out, we were told no, they had to clean the room and it was a Monday and no one was there. At 11:05 am some guy opened our door and asked if we were leaving because they had to clean the room. I told him they didnt clean it before we got there what was the rush to clean it this morning. Also the rooms they show on Expedia, are not the rooms they rent, the bed was on a hard platform and if you sat on it hard your knees would hit the wooden platform, cheap mattresses/sheets/comforter. The sliding door on the balcony was extremely difficult to open and even if you left your room and let the door slam, it would not close completely, the lock stuck. We got back and noticed our door was not closed after hearing it slam, checked it out and it actually would not lock when slammed so be careful not to leave valuables in there and not make sure if it is locked.

Nice room with lots of space. Like a small apartment. Staff was very friendly. We arrived early and staff let us do a pre-check in so that we could have a parking pass. We parked, headed to beach, and they called when room was ready. Very nice. Nice pool area with 2 pools, lazy river and spa. Kind of small, but well kept. Just a small walk across road and you are on beach. Nice beach area that was not crowded. They have a small boardwalk taking you down to beach with a shower station. Rooms were not very sound proof, some stains on carpet, but overall, very roomy, with 1.5 baths. Would stay there again with no fuss.

I like that they are condos so you have a full kitchen but it could definitely use some updates and the staff could clean a little better than what was cleaned. The bathtub had mildew and the table in the kitchen looked dirty, the carpet was definitely filthy. I just felt like I needed to clean it. If they did some updates and learned how to clean properly then it would be a good place to stay.

The area is quiet. It is not on the beach, but you walk 50 feet and your on the beach. The ocean view is good. Buildings next to the hotel are low rise. From the 11th floor we had a good view even several rooms back. The age of the hotel shows. The building is not kept up well.

The first condo assigned was not up to par. We asked for another one and it was perfect. The staff were very accommodating. We will stay there again. Loved the pool and the Lazy river pool. Loved the cleanliness of the second condo as the first one was dirty with old furniture and torn pillows. Also stains on the sheets. All the light switches were dirty. There were crumbs on the floor around the table. I could not have stayed in that one. I’m so appreciate the staff that moved me to another one. She was awesome.

Pleasant Vacation

We are always pleased with Forest Dunes, we have stayed there several times. This was our first time being a guest in the winter and we are coming back in August. Our hope is that they have corrected an issue they had with the air conditioning units last summer...August in SC with sub par AC wouldnot be fun

Great view but needs updated furniture

Can’t beat it for the price but as the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. In all it’s not a bad hotel and we would stay there again. the staff was helpful and friendly. Kitchen was fully stocked. The bed wasn’t the comfiest but it sure wasn’t the worst either. The couch was old, stiff, and dirty. Definitely needs to be replaced. Other than that it wasn’t a bad retreat. Right across the street from the beach. Indoor restaurant and bar. If you don’t need up to date furnishings then it’s a nice condo but if you need granite counter tops and oak cabinets then I suggest another hotel.

Last visited in 1995

My son and I stayed here for 1 night only - a kind of nostalgia thing, as the whole family had visited here in Dec 1995 & again a few weeks later in early 1996. The place hasn't really changed. This time, with only 2 of us, we chose a 1-bedroom condo. The bedroom had rather garish outdated bedspreads, and the bedroom was TINY. The TWO bedroom lights did not work. Having a double bathroom was great, and the kitchen/dining/living room area was spacious and well-appointed. The deck was of course fabulous!! But the furniture was cheapie, and one chair was broken. The spa is large and HOT, and the lazy river & pools are great. The location is great - at the very Northern end of Myrtle Beach, away from the crowds further down the Strand. The beach is across the street and the BEST BEACH EVER. That alone is worth the price of a room here!

This hotel is in a great location with ocean view

These units are privately owned so it is a crap shoot what you will get. Our first room was so outdated. It had 1970 like furniture. The plot catch was broken and stained and filthy. The front desk the ditch good job and upgraded our room. To a Nother unit that was somewhat outdated that much cleaner. The mattresses were still stained and gross. That is nice hotel however are spectacular. So take your chances

All the comforts of home.

Don't let the small check in desk fool you.Very nice condo for couple or small family. The hotel has a pool that goes to a depth of 8 feet deep. They have a lazy river and a hot tub. Beach access directly across the street from the beach. Chairs and umbrellas setting up on the beach by the hotel. Very nice!

Not so good.

When we entered the our room for the first time the cleaning chemical smell nearly knocked me over when I opened the door, however the room was not clean so we got a different room which was somewhat better but these places in general are poorly maintained and seems relies on price and proximity to beach.

Ok hotel beach front

Forest dunes has been around for as long as I can remember. It's been about 16 years since our last stay... and 16 years has put a lot of wear and tear on this hotel. They advertise \"100% smoke free facility\" but our room smelled of old cigarettes. We had to go out and buy candles to even handle it. The maids did the very minimum and it was just gross. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. It served its purpose, but we would probably not stay here again.

The rooms are very outdated and the kitchen appliances and silverware were dirty. The place could use a pick me up. The location was awesome, so if your not trying to be in the room much then its worth the amount to stay there.

Hotel is out dated and in poor repair. The first room we were given had a faulty door. The second room had a faulty bed and balcony door. The third room did not have anything 'faulty' but the bedding and furniture were old and uncomfortable. Two elevators for 18 floors left you waiting forever for an elevator.

Nice location and staff. Facilities disappoint.

We liked the ocean view room a lot. The staff was responsive to our need for some repairs when we arrived, such as a leaking ice maker inlet hose and a dangling smoke detector that looked like an electrical hazard. Later we had no ice from the ice maker, a constantly running toilet and a clogged bathroom sink drain. With the exception of the ice maker, all reported problems were eventually resolved. There were too many fixes need though.

Importantly, it needs to be mentioned that mid-stay while sitting by the outdoor lazy river pool, we were doused with water and/or pee which was being thrown from the upper balconies. Also, we then realized that we were surrounded by feces at the same location. Apparently, a baby diaper and contents had been flung down on pool-goers. My daughter's boogie board was contaminated with fecal matter, and whereas the staff did a thorough clean up, we will throw the boogie board away anyway. Gross!

During our second week, the hot tub and pool heaters broke, so we were not able to use the facilities as paid for, and promised. Very disappointing for $1600+.

The carpet and lounge chair upholstery really needed a thorough cleaning. The carpet was dirty, and the chair smelled bad.

There clearly were not enough forks and spoons in the kitchen.

Finally, the microwave was rusty, with rusty crust threatening to fall on food when it was used.

This was not the picture perfect place advertised on Expedia. We did like the staff though.

Nice getaway

We had a pleasant stay for my husband and I to get away for a long weekend. Probably not the best if traveling with small kids, child's pool very small and the game room didn't look like it had a lot in it. Really liked the walkway to the beach and the area was very well maintained and pretty with gazebo to sit and look at ocean. Need a bigger fitness room. Only had one treadmill, one bicycle and one elliptical and I could only get the treadmill to work. Kitchen was clean and well stocked best I could tell, I only cooked breakfast one morning. I would go back.

Better than expected

The building is right at the beach, but at the northern part of the area. So the beach is less crowded. And if you prefer a pool they have an indoor pool, outdoor pool, kiddie pool, drifting pool, and a jacuzzi. The rooms are owned by individuals so each one is furnished differently. Ours was a bit dated but the bed was excellent. The kitchen was fully equipped. Everything was clean and well taken care of. The desk attendants were very helpful in answering questions about local activities. You park in a garage on site and it is free. We will book there again if we return.
