The Marriott Myrtle Beach Resort & Spa at Grande Dunes is a full-service beachfront resort at 8400 Costa Verde Drive in the Grande Dunes master-planned community of northern Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The 390 rooms and suites in the resort's towers face the Atlantic Ocean, with private balconies maximizing the sea views. The property's three-acre oceanfront pool complex is among the largest on the Grand Strand, featuring a lazy river, waterfall cascade, dedicated children's splash zone, and a heated pool for year-round use. The Sea View Grille serves American cuisine with panoramic ocean views; the adjacent Reflections Bar specializes in craft cocktails and aperitivo-hour snacks. The Hibiscus Spa offers a full menu of treatments including couples' packages and hydrotherapy circuits. Grande Dunes' two championship golf courses—the Resort Course and the Members Club—are accessible to resort guests by arrangement with the golf concierge. A fitness center and beach sports equipment rentals round out the amenities. The Grande Dunes location at the northern end of the Grand Strand occupies a quieter stretch of coastline compared to the central Myrtle Beach entertainment district, while retaining easy access to Broadway at the Beach, Barefoot Landing, and the area's extensive restaurant and entertainment offerings approximately 10 to 15 minutes south by car.
