The Carolinas hotel rooms a the Marriott Hotels & Resorts

"The Marriott resort was an excellent property for the start of our vacation. There were a few issues but it was quickly addressed by the staff and manager on duty."

"We loved the evening appetizers which were more like a meal. Never had to eat out. Staff friendly and very clean and comfortable "

"Great oceanfront location for the price!!"

"Stay was great. Service was excellent. No complaints. They even called us since we left something behind and offered to hold the item for us until we return. Very kind. "

"Every thing was great"

"This was a great stay for our first time on HHI. The property felt secluded as it is part of a larger residential community. The lobby and rooms were pleasant and comfortable, the food was great everywhere we ate, and the pool area is nice. I also felt the resort was very family friendly. I would note that the adult pool was still under renovation when we were there (late June 2025) even though we were told it would be done by then. It was fine for us since we had kids with us, but the lack of two pools made the main one a bit crowded. In terms of the dining, there is a small patio restaurant adjacent to the pool areas, there's a larger restaurant next to that (where we had the breakfast buffet), and there's a shop/cafe in the lobby. All of which we enjoyed quite a bit. The beach is a pleasant walk through the back of the property, and the beach itself is very wide open and nice. Some minor downsides that aren't significant enough to change my rating: The shower pressure in our room was really weak, and for some odd reason, the shower water was either hot or warm no matter what I did (couldn't cool it down), which was strange since our sink faucet had cold water. Also, the pool water had a bit of an unpleasant taste/odor when I had occasion to notice that. Also, parking can be a bit tight if you get back to the hotel after a certain hour in the evening. But overall, a very enjoyable stay, and I would come back."

"Our room was wonderful. Small bathroom though lol. "

"Highly recommend! Also has an excellent Italian restaurant on site with a great atmosphere!"

"It was worth it we enjoyed our trip "
