Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Disliked: Staff & service
Very disappointing for the price. First off, the front desk insisted there was only valet parking for $35 a day when there was self-parking available for free. When I reserved the room, it was supposed to have an ocean view which it did not. When I asked about it, the front desk told me to contact Expedia. Before I got on the phone with Expedia I asked the front desk if there were any ocean view rooms available and was told there were not. Very frustrating. Breakfast downstairs was an ordeal. Although there were only 2 couples sitting in the dining room, when I asked for a table for 2 the first morning I was immediately asked if I had a reservation. We did not, and proceeded to wait for 10 mins while they figured out where to seat us. The wait was not bad, it was just the silliness of asking about a reservation when there were NUMEROUS tables available. We ordered from the menu and the food was DELICIOUS. Strongly recommend avoiding the very overpriced basic buffet and ordering off the menu. The room was clean and the mattress was very comfortable. Beach access was easy to navigate and the pool area was very nice. The resort itself was very nice and met a traveling family’s needs but the service was subpar. When the staff eventually got to us for whatever we needed, they were very nice, but seemed overwhelmed and confused. If I paid non-resort prices I would give this hotel a higher rating but they really need to support their staff and guests better.

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…

The staff was the best part of this visit. Every single person was so friendly and helpful. The room was very clean. My issue is that the facility is dated for the price of room and dining. The adult pool was not clean. Scum around the trim and missing tiles were a turnoff. Again the staff deserve all the praise that would bring me back to stay.
