What's included and what costs extra at Marriott Myrtle Beach Resort & Spa at Grande Dunes
Room rates at Marriott Myrtle Beach Resort & Spa at Grande Dunes include standard in-room amenities (Wi‑Fi for many bookings), complimentary access to the indoor and outdoor pools, pool loungers and umbrellas, and access to the fitness center; many convenience items (breakfast, spa treatments, premium fitness classes, parking, and some resort-fee bundled services) are charged separately. A nightly resort fee is reported by booking sources to bundle some services (details and amounts vary by source), so expect additional per-night charges on top of the base room rate.
