Staying here over 20 years. This experience the worst. Popcorn ceilings falling into food and furniture - told staff - response: they need to put some money into fixing it up. Front desk: they wanted to know if they could come up and fix it. This was not an easy fix and would have displaced us. Not again! I will be Posting videos on-line to alert others about this failing property.

I dont think our room had been used or cleaned for a while when we got there. That said, the room was just okay. The property is older but very large. It is right on the beach. You will need your own chair for the beach. The pool is not heated. There are plenty of lounge chairs on the pool deck and by the lazy river. Live music every night.

Right on the beach

Great location right on the beach. Not much to do close by. Beds are a little outdated and the room could have been a little cleaner. Great price for being right in the beach. Would stay again.

I’ve stayed here several times because of the on site entertainment. This property would get 5 stars if it would ensure the condo owners maintain the rooms. I refuse to spend another dime for these old run down accommodation's that get worse each visit. After spending $459 for 2 nights in room 221 the roaches in the kitchen this trip was the deal breaker. Will not be returning.

The stay at the Sands Ocean Club Resort was alright. Although there was some issues that needs to be addressed such as the pocorn ceiling was falling down on us during our stay there. The toilet was leaking and the shower was broken. I made a complaint to the front desk and nothing was done about the situation.

Property had a lot to offer but the staff was rude, I had to give the desk my license to use a luggage cart and when I returned it she had accidentally given my ID to someone else. Elevators are very noisy , walls are thin, you hear everything in the room next door. I had to ask for clean towels even though the sign says they would be replaced. Room had a decent view , had restaurant and bar on site . Cheap enough but then you get what you pay for

Great place to stay!

Love this hotel... You're at Myrtle Beach but with none of the crowd. Never have to leave the resort if you don't want to. I do have one complaint. I checked out today everyone was nice during our stay, Chris the bellhop was great. The black woman this morning shift with the very friendly bald man was very very rude for no reason. She come very close to getting told how rude she was. If you don't like your job leave!! Other than her perfect trip as always!!!
