RCI Owners, You Have Got to Try This One

  • July 23, 2008

We booked a two bedroom condo here in the Presidential Villas at Plantation Resort. The property is absolutely beautiful. Gated entry to the resort is very nice. Out the back door of the condo is a beautiful stream with turtles and geese. We bought a bunch of crackers and bread and fed the birds and turtles.It was very relaxing to just go out back, sit in the chairs, have a drink and watch the turtles, geese and birds. There was a small willow tree right on the creek bank. It was like a postcard. We did not have much interaction with the staff but when we did they were really nice. My husband and son enjoyed the pool, I opted to stay in. The unit was really roomy, with a wonderful kitchen. Huge bathtub in the master bedroom. I would definately stay here again.

It Was Just OK...

I have stayed at a lot of resorts and this one was nothing big to speak of. It is very old and the people next to us lived there! No security gate anyone can get on the property, the pools were just average. Game room for kids was not that "going on", we had the loft room and the loft is were the parents sleep, you would think this would have switched around, were we can have the door to shut! The surfside beach is very nice, I liked it better there the Myrtle Beach. Also the best place to find shells is Huntington State Park that is across the street from Brookgreen Gardens, which is worth going to as well. This resort should not be called Gold either. Won't stay there again.

Best Things Nearby:
Plenty of food, beach action, and shopping

Best Things About the Resort:
The resort has both an indoor and outdoor pool. The indoor pool area has a gym and Jacuzzi, and in the bathrooms are showers, a locker area, a steam room, and a sauna. They also allow trailer parking!

Resort Experience:
Although not on the ocean, it’s a great spot if you have a car. The best surfing spot I found was on Pawley's Island. It’s about 15 miles south. The locals (or vacationers) there are very friendly. Of course, Hurricane Ophelia was in town, so I am sure the wave action was better than usual. Also, a few of the surfers noted to me that there were sharks out there. If you want to jet ski, there are two ramps near there, although parking is slim pickings. Also, watch out for low tide, as it dries the waterway up. If you want something closer, check out the public boat launch at Murrells Inlet. You have to park across the street, but it’s free and has deeper water - and three ramps!

The resort itself is great, but be warned that the studio unit has no patio or balcony.

Best Things Nearby:
The best things nearby included Brookgreen Garden. The garden was very pretty, especially with the spring blossoms. We also enjoyed Ripley's Aquarium. It wasn't as large as the National Aquarium in Baltimore, but they had a touch tank with sting rays and horseshoe crabs. My 4-year-old daughter loved that. Crabby Mike's Restaurant was very good. The best part was the king crab legs.

Best Things About the Resort:
The staff was very friendly. The amenities included an outdoor/indoor pool. The outdoor one is heated, which was great for this time of year. The resort also had a lot of activities, including martial arts workshops, yoga classes, and group morning walks.

Resort Experience:
The studio unit (Hotel unit) was just the right size for our family of three, two adults and a toddler. The unit was small but very cozy and clean! It also included a washer/dryer, two-burner hot plate, dishwasher, and a microwave. This is, all you need if you don't plan on doing a lot of cooking.

We had a two-bedroom/two-bathroom condo. It was very nice. The two bedrooms had access to a porch that overlooked the golf course and a small river. The master bedroom had a jacuzzi tub and a king bed.

Although not right on the beach, it was a great place to stay (the beach was only two miles away). The two pools were very nice.
