Top The Carolinas Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Greensboro Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay and clean room"

Dunes Village Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room great views awesome views"

The Breakers Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Property was as advertised and was even given a complimentary upgrade at check in. Visited during the off season, but was greater by short check in lines and low numbers at the pool and beach. Will definitely be making the trip back with my family."

Sea Crest Oceanfront Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel, the room actually looks like it does in the pictures unlike some hotels"

Caribbean Resort & Villas

8/10 Good

"Our room was in a building that was obviously older than the rest of the resort (Jamaican building); that was my mistake in booking, but it had a spectacular oceanfront view. It had been renovated, but the real problem was that the AC did little to dehumidify the room and we woke up to moisture condensing on the floor. We loved everything else about the Caribbean resort, the pools and the lazy rivers and the location at the end of the "strip." We'd stay at the resort again, just in the Cayman or Dominican buildings instead."

The Omni Grove Park Inn & Spa

10/10 Excellent
