Best Marriott Hotels in South Carolina

According to recent guests, this Marriott is one of the premier hotels to book for a Hilton Head vacation. For one thing, there's delicious local cuisine served steaming in one of the resort's best restaurants, Blue. For another, the hotel has a whopping 513 rooms and suites, many of which have balconies that look out on the Atlantic Ocean. But before you reserve your room, know that that the Hilton Head Marriott Resort & Spa is usually crawling with kids – which could be good or bad for you, depending on whether you're planning on bringing your own. This property sits on a sandy strip on Hilton Head's east-central coast and if you're a Marriott Rewards member you can accrue or cash in points by choosing to stay here.

The sprawling Myrtle Beach Marriott Resort & Spa at Grande Dunes sits about 6 miles northeast along the coast from downtown Myrtle Beach. The resort is fresh off a $14 million renovation, completed in 2017, which brought renovated guest rooms, meeting space and other amenities. Guests have access to numerous pools (indoor and outdoor, heated and unheated) and the beach –basically everything you and your brood could need for a relaxing week by the sea. When you're not lounging in the sun, rooms offer a comfortable respite, with pillow-top mattresses, marble bathrooms and Bath & Body Works toiletries. The hotel receives accolades for service and cleanliness as well. Recent guests recommended requesting an oceanfront room to fully take advantage of the hotel's prime location. The only downside here, according to some recent guests, was that the service was inconsistent. Thanks to the property's Marriott ties, Marriott Rewards members can earn or redeem points here.

Those who would rather linger on the property grounds can claim a chair at the outdoor pool or indulge in a relaxing treatment at MG's Grand Day Spa. Afterward, you can fill up on contemporary Southern fare at Artisan Restaurant & Bar, which recent patrons applaud for its tasty entrees and excellent service. When you're ready to hit the hay, you'll find spacious accommodations appointed with bright orange accents, minifridges, coffee makers and cozy feather pillows. If you participate in the Marriott Rewards program, you can earn or redeem points here.
