Wild Dunes Resort

Better options in Wild Dunes We have been coming to Wild Dunes for years and it is one of or favorite places to relax. We decided that since we were only going to be there a couple of nights, this time we would try the hotel. Boardwalk inn is a very average hotel, certainly not a 4 star property although priced that way. 75.00 a day resort fee and then an additional 35.00 for valet parking. They tell you that you can self park but there is only a small lot that rarely has any availability. Rooms are a little dated and bland. Bathrooms have almost no provision for hanging towels or wet bathing suits. Beds very uncomfortable and the pillows are beyond terrible. Balcony was tiny and only had stool style chairs, so no possibility of relaxing. Hotel sits way off the ocean, so no ocean view at all. Pool was absolutely filthy both days we were there, so no swimming. We did walk across the street and use the lap pool one morning which was nice. On a positive note, rooms have a small fridge and a Keurig pod machine. Bottom line Wild Dunes is phenomenal but highly recommended one of the many condo options as opposed to the hotel. Save the money and eat somewhere nice…

IOP Resort Amazing!! Restaurant at the Boardwalk Hotel and the Sweetwater Spa were superb. I will be going back.

Disappointing Stayed at Boardwalk Onn. Bathroom shower was old and falling apart. It was very expensive and disappointed to have junky shower. Also, $100/day resort fee plus tax and beach chairs were NOT included.

The valet staff were exceptional as the first point of contact at the resort. They were extremely helpful, ensuring guests were comfortable while waiting or being transported. They even offered water to help guests stay cool. Overall, it was a warm and welcoming experience that set a great tone for the visit.

One of my biggest pet-peeves is a hotel that is not clean and Wild Dunes Resort went above and beyond my standards... and I have high standards! Very clean hotel and I didn't find any weird hairs in the bed sheets; I'm a stickler on that. Loved the bath essentials brand they provided, all the beautiful views of the resort, and the superb service. The only negative I had was you had to pay for valet parking everyday ($35/day). This detail is kept pretty hidden on the site and I didn't realize it was a thing until they sent us an email about it a few days before our visit. They have a small lot you can self park at, but it's usually full.

Friday stay Stay was nice. Only issue was my room was not made up on the first day until 4pm. By that time, I was in the room and relaxing before dinner and did not want to be disturbed. The housekeeper did give me more towels and water, which was nice.
