Bay View Resort in Myrtle Beach, SC

We loved this hotel because we had a room with a view of the ocean in a nice quiet corner of the hotel. It is a small room so best for 2 people. It was perfect for us. We had an area where we could fix our breakfast. There were only 2 things that would've made it more enjoyable. One was a light when you walk in which would be at the small kitchen area, and a table to eat at(although the room was so small not sure where that would be). Otherwise it was very clean. The staff was very pleasant, and it was in a convenient location--right on the beach, and within walking distance of shops & restaurants.

We had a great family vacation at the Bay View for spring break. The price fit into our budget well and the condo was a great layout. Being on the 16 floor had an awesome view. My only complaint would be the room had a little wear and tear and the cleaning service was not consistent & could have been a little better. For the price I paid I was very happy and the one room condo was very roomy. My kids loved the pool and lazy river and being to walk to the boardwalk was great! Would definitely consider the Bay View when we come back to Myrtle Beach.

We stayed here from November 2017 thru the end of March 2018. We have stayed in South Myrtle Beach for the past 6 years prior to this winter. Bay View is, by far, the absolute best resort to stay on the Grand Strand. The condos are nice and roomy and fully equipped for a family vacation or an extended stay. The service of employees is impeccable. (We had one night desk clerk that isn't too friendly or helpful.) Eric, Nye, Allison and the other front desk employees are extremely respectful, knowledgeable, mannerly, very helpful and all around fantastic. Housekeeping, maintenance and security are all very nice and will go out of their way and go that extra mile to accommodate and please the guests. Both the inside and outside are very clean and well kept. This is absolutely the SAFEST resort on the strand. This is a fabulous resort for a family. The view of the boardwalk, sun deck and ocean are beautiful. Bay View has an enclosed pool, lazy river, Jacuzzi, kids pool with a water umbrella and a kids rainwater deck. There are giant checkers, giant chess and shuffle board as well as a nice workout facility. If you are a people watcher, there is a big veranda facing the street with tables and chairs. I highly recommend Bay View for a great vacation or extended stay. You will not be disappointed. We will stay here from now on every winter.

We checked in but did not go directly to our room because we had reservations to dine. We arrived at pur room about 1030-11 pm. I immediately called to the front desk because of the stench in the room. It smelled of old wet dog in every room and especially near the beds. Also the remote did not work. The clerk informed me there was nothing she could do because maintenance was unavailable during the weekends. Um busiest time and no availability? When I asked about the smell she said she would send someone up. No one came. We wanted to stay elsewhere but it being spring break, that eas not happening. We ended up going to Walmart and purchasing candles and linen spray. It was horrible. I asked for a partial refund or even to be reimbursed for the candles and was told we cant do that. No customer service.

I was here with my daughter's softball team and this hotel was unable to provide the four rooms for our girls on the same floor as we were promised by this hotel and the "Ripkin Experience". This was totally unacceptable since this was 20 minors that needed to be together so the chaperones could check on them. We had to ask other people to keep an eye on them that were not the designated chaperones since the elevators were so slow and not dependable. I was very unhappy with the cleanliness of the room. The floors were so dirty my navy blue socks were black on the bottom from walk in the room. No one ever took out the trash. I had to take it out to the hall trash can. There was cereal all over the sleeper sofa when we unfolded it. The pools and one hot tub are too small and too few for the number of guests staying there! The four children with me could not use these facilities for more than 5 minutes because they were too crowded and the other children using the facilities were unsupervised. My smallest child was dunked in the lazy river twice by other children trying to run past her and shoving over her. Every evening there were people doing inappropriate things in the hot tub and pools and no one checking on the facilities. I feel I paid way too much for the facilities I had access to. The wait for the elevators was extremely long! The elevators seem to be programmed wrong. I would be waiting on them and they would travel down and up and down again with out coming up to pick us up. There is extreme water hammer when the shower is running. I would not feel comfortable recommending this hotel to my friends, family or colleagues, ever.
