Quick Verdict: Marriott Myrtle Beach Resort & Spa at Grande Dunes vs Bali Bay Resort

When Marriott Myrtle Beach Resort & Spa at Grande Dunes wins: choose the Marriott if you want a full-service resort with multiple restaurants and bars, an on-site Hibiscus Spa, supervised kids' programming and more pools and water features for families.

When Bali Bay Resort wins: pick Bali Bay if you prioritize a roomy oceanfront condo layout (2– and 3-bedroom suites with furnished balconies and full kitchens), a straightforward beachfront location close to the Boardwalk and attractions, and lower-key property services.

Bottom line: Marriott is the better choice for full-service family stays, events or spa-focused breaks; Bali Bay is the practical pick for travelers who want spacious condo-style rooms on the beach and don’t need a staffed front desk or resort-level amenities.

Location: Grande Dunes resort vs beachfront Boardwalk access

Marriott Myrtle Beach Resort & Spa at Grande Dunes – Location

Marriott at Grande Dunes sits inside the Grande Dunes community, a short walk to its stretch of beach and near golf and event venues.

  • Address: 8400 Costa Verde Drive in the Grande Dunes area.
  • About a 7-minute walk to the nearest public Myrtle Beach shoreline; near Dunes Golf & Beach Club and Grande Dunes Marketplace.
  • Good for guests who want resort seclusion with access to mainland attractions by car.

Choose Marriott if you want a resort that’s on the ocean but set inside a larger golf and event community.

Bali Bay Resort – Location

Bali Bay Resort sits directly on South Ocean Boulevard with easy walking access to Family Kingdom Amusement Park and the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk.

  • Address: 701 South Ocean Boulevard — beachfront and within walking distance of Boardwalk attractions.
  • Close to Family Kingdom Amusement Park (≈0.3 km / 0.4 mi) and the Boardwalk (≈0.6 km / 0.9 mi).
  • Good for guests prioritizing immediate beach access and proximity to downtown Myrtle Beach attractions.

Choose Bali Bay when you want to be on the beach and within easy walking distance of the Boardwalk and oceanfront attractions.

Rooms: resort rooms & suites vs condo-style suites

Marriott Myrtle Beach Resort & Spa at Grande Dunes – Rooms

Marriott offers standard guest rooms and a small number of suites in a hotel layout with resort services.

  • 405 guest rooms, including 8 suites, with oceanfront, partial ocean view, and resort-view options.
  • Multiple room types include balcony and mobility-accessible options.
  • Housekeeping, 24-hour front desk and concierge services are available.

Marriott is suited to travelers who want hotel services, daily housekeeping options and a variety of room types.

Bali Bay Resort – Rooms

Bali Bay emphasizes larger, individually decorated condo-style suites with full kitchens and furnished balconies.

  • 21 guestrooms described as individually decorated; listed suite types include 2- and 3-bedroom oceanfront/partial-ocean-view layouts.
  • Rooms include kitchens with full-sized refrigerators/freezers and ovens — helpful for self-catering.
  • Housekeeping is provided on a limited basis and there is no staffed front desk.

Bali Bay is best when you need multi-bedroom suites with kitchens and direct ocean views for longer or family stays.

Dining & drinks: on-site restaurants vs self-catering

Marriott Myrtle Beach Resort & Spa at Grande Dunes – Dining & drinks

Marriott provides several on-site dining venues and a lobby coffee shop for a full-service stay.

  • Ocean's on 82nd (breakfast and dinner) and Ocean Blu Restaurant & Lounge (light fare and cocktails).
  • Seasonal poolside dining at The Cove and a lobby Rooted Grounds Coffee Company.
  • Breakfast buffet is available for a fee; various casual and poolside options simplify family dining.

Marriott works well if you prefer multiple on-property dining choices and restaurant service.

Bali Bay Resort – Dining & drinks

Bali Bay’s suites have full kitchens for self-catering; the supplier listing does not highlight on-site signature restaurants.

  • Kitchens with full-sized refrigerators/freezers and ovens are included in suites.
  • No signature on-site restaurants or bars are listed in the supplier details.
  • Nearby downtown and Boardwalk restaurants are within walking distance.

Bali Bay fits travelers who plan to cook in-suite or explore local Boardwalk dining rather than rely on hotel restaurants.

Pools & beach: waterslide and multiple pools vs a simpler pool + beachfront

Marriott Myrtle Beach Resort & Spa at Grande Dunes – Pools & beach

Marriott provides several pool experiences—indoor and outdoor pools plus a seasonal waterslide and hot tub.

  • Complimentary access to indoor and outdoor pools and a hot tub/whirlpool.
  • Seasonal waterslide and family-friendly pool areas; pool hours typically from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM.
  • Pool access and loungers are part of the resort offerings (resort fee applies in some cases).

Marriott is the pick for families who want multiple pool options and a waterslide on-site.

Bali Bay Resort – Pools & beach

Bali Bay lists one outdoor pool and immediate beach access as its primary water amenities.

  • Number of outdoor pools: 1, with pool access hours noted (pool open 9:00 AM–9:00 PM).
  • Direct beach access — the property sits on the beach and is very close to Boardwalk attractions.
  • Pool and beach are the main leisure features; no waterslide or indoor pool is listed.

Bali Bay is a straightforward beachfront option with a single outdoor pool and easy beach access.

Wellness & nightlife: spa, fitness and event spaces vs simpler offerings

Marriott Myrtle Beach Resort & Spa at Grande Dunes – Wellness & nightlife

Marriott supports wellness and events with a full Hibiscus Spa, a 24-hour fitness center and large meeting/wedding spaces.

  • Hibiscus Spa open daily 8:00 AM–4:00 PM with a Tween Spa menu and signature massages.
  • 24-hour fitness center plus sauna and steam room; spa guests get pool/fitness access the day of treatment.
  • Extensive event and wedding facilities (roughly 45,000 sq ft of meeting space across many rooms).

Marriott works for guests who want on-site spa treatments, fitness options and large event capabilities.

Bali Bay Resort – Wellness & nightlife

Bali Bay’s supplier listing focuses on room amenities and location; no on-site spa or large event spaces are listed.

  • No spa or large meeting/event venues are published in the supplier listing.
  • On-site amenities include laundry facilities, elevator and basic guest services rather than a full wellness program.
  • Nightlife and larger entertainment options are within walking distance on the Boardwalk.

Bali Bay suits guests who plan to use nearby Myrtle Beach nightlife and attractions rather than hotel wellness or event facilities.
