Kingston Plantation Condos

Depending on the building they put you in depends on the amenities you receive. For 6 people, we received two towels for a 4 night stay. Also, because they put us into the South Hampton tower and not the Embassy Suites, our breakfast was $25/pp, but if we were in the Embassy it would have been included. We didn't know what hotel we were going to be put into so I couldn't help but feel a little put off by that. It's one property, but you don't all get treated the same.

Close to everything and friendly staff! Nice pools on premises and beaches were well maintained. Only issues were that room service did not show up once to clean our room for a 6 day stay (I had to call to request towels and toilet paper which they did provide but they didn’t remove old towels). There was also a $40 per day resort fee and $20 per day parking fee that was charged to my credit card 2 days after leaving (totaling $360 additional payment) after the room was paid in full via Expedia. Be aware of these charges before you book here as they were not exactly forthcoming with that upon check in.

I will start by saying that Kingston Plantation is beautiful, and having beach access steps from the condo was wonderful. I however have several complaints about the specific condo we stayed in. First of all, I wanted to stay at Kingston because friends had stayed there and talked about how much their kids liked the pools, especially the water park pool. The booking showed we would have access to the 9 pools. We found out differently once we arrived. Since we booked through a 3rd party, Expedia, we did not have access to that pool, or many of the others on the property. Additionally, our specific condo was dated. I don't mind the dated decor, but would hope that things are functional and safe, which was not the case. The lock on the sliding door to the balcony was broken, which is very scary when you have small children and the balcony is not very safe for young kids. Additionally, some of the bed frames were note secured properly, sinks leaked, and drawers and handles on the furniture were broken. Finally, the condo was not cleaned very well, and I had to do quite a bit of cleaning myself to feel comfortable.

Resort-like with multiple amenities within walking distance.

Enjoyed everything except having to go the main check in hotel to get ice.

Pools are nice, adult and kid friendly. Safe property.

Beautiful place, easy access to the beach , nice swimming pool with a nice vibe! All good we enjoyed our trip.

Pool area was superb. Lots of umbrellas and seating available. Nice play area for kids. Easy access to bar and food. Great location in North Myrtle Beach. We were on the 21st floor of Brighton, and the elevators were great.

Waterslide was always closed. Not enough on site restaurants. Prices extrememy high. Pool very cold. Indoor pool far away.

Brighton building not having an ice machine anywhere is horrible.

There was sand in the bed. There was hair wrapped around the bathroom sink drain. There was dry wall dust on the floor. The couches were stained and heavily faded from the sun.

The room needs a thorough cleaning. It was disgusting. The carpet had major stains all over it. The toilets were unclean. The bed sheets were dirty. The pillows on the bed were dirty. The dryer was not working and the key card stopped working and so we had to wait 30 minutes before maintenance could open the door. This was a large room but for what we pay for and for what we got, it was not worth it.

Rooms were disgusting and outdated. Everything was dirty and dusty. We Left a day early to not have to sleep there another night

The only thing that was good was the pool area with the kids zone. Besides that the whole experience was terrible. We rented one of the 3 bedroom villas. The condo was infested with cockroaches. I contacted the front desk 5 times with no answer. So I cleaned it up by myself told them the next morning and not much was done for my horrible experience. Not only was there 20-25 roaches but the overall cleanliness was horrible hair all over the bathrooms floors had dirt and food all over. Just over all disgusting. We had two young kids with us. And they told us there was no other rooms available for the amount people we had with us. Definitely will not be renting one of those condo/villas again. Very disappointed.

The property was not what they are advertising on the web page. The pictures are very deceiving. The carpet was nasty, they are showing hard wood floors, mold was on the ceiling, dirty spots on the old drapes to the window, there were an old musky odor in the room, thick dust on the little table the coffee machine was sitting on. I could go on and on. I will never stay at this place again.

Check in was easy, however 1st room was dirty (food particles on floor, stains on floor, bedding and furniture. Found cockroaches under refrigerator and on kitchen floor! Called agreed to room change.. room #2 less dirty but again visited by cockroaches. Room 3 still not the cleaned but no cockroaches this consumed our whole first day! Pool visit was an experience couple drunk fighting and poured their drink into the pool hitting my granddaughter security came spoke with the fighting couple but allowed them to stay at the pool where they continued their cursing and carrying on, not to mention the plastic spoons, napkins, plastic cups and fruit slices littering the bottom of the pool. We finally left feeling dirty and frustrated so our stay was less than stellar. I expected more from the Hilton brand!

Our room ceiling and tv had tons of dirt. Very dirty and dusty.

Dirty

Condo we were given was dated and not in the best shape. There is no staff in the building. No housekeeping. Staying her allows you to use the pool facilities at the neighboring Hilton which are beautiful. We loved the pool and the restaurant on their property. For the price I expected the condo to look like the pictures provided. The bathroom cabinet was hanging slanted due to age. The shower was not clean. Property did have a great view. For the price you are better off staying at the Hilton.

This was our third stay at this property. It is a beautiful resort and we love it! Unfortunately housekeeping fell short this stay. We checked in about 10pm, got to our condo and found there were no bath towels, soap, coffee, dish towels or detergent and even worse 1/2 a roll of toilet paper for 2 bathrooms and 4 people. I went to the desk the next morning, told them what we needed and was assured these items would be brought to the condo. Long story short, after 2 more phone calls we received a bag of towels and 2 rolls of toilet paper which had literally been thrown into the condo thru the door when we weren’t there. We were paying over $250 per night, we expect better service than this. Unfortunately, little experiences like this can leave a big impression.

The room that we checked into was outdated! I mean GOLDEN GIRLS 80s outdated! The sheets on the bed felt like we were sleeping on sandpaper. The internet stop working so we couldn’t watch tv, and the balcony door would not lock. TERRIBLE TERRIBLE!

Carpet and overall look of the property..looks like college dorm rooms

The 2 bed, ocean view condo in the SouthHampton bldg was spacious, clean, great view, easy walk to the beach. Bed was a little firm for my liking & the trucks backing into the loading dock area beeped very loudly very early in the morning. We still loved the place.

The mattress needs to replace and carpet needs to be cleaned soft spots in floor but overall it’s a nice place to stay

Great view and clean room.

My family has stayed at numerous hotels/resorts at Myrtle Beach but Kingston is the best which is why we continue to book with them. There are many parts to Kingston plantation; hotels, suites, and condos. We’ve stayed in all and none disappoints. My family’s favorite are the spacious 3 bedroom oceanfront suites/condos that makes the trip feel like home. The rooms are clean and the resort quiet. All the amenities are right there, no need to go out the resort if you don’t want to. It’s pricey but worth it!

I was booked for the Brighton Towers. The first room i was assigned to 402G was very dated and had a horrible musty smell. It also overlooked a parking garage. Not the view advertised on booking sites. When i went back to the front desk to request a new room, staff member did not want to accommodate me. I got off the line to look for another hotel, When i got back online I got another front desk staff member who accommodated my request for a new room immediately. The new room was updated and much nicer with a better view, however very dusty. I let the front desk know. As far as the resort, the pools and grounds are very nice and its very family friendly. If you are looking for a quiet resort, this is not it. There were kids running everywhere. I thought they would be by the splash pad and slides, but they were in the larger pool with water guns, balls and jumping in and out, so keep that in mind. The breakfast at Embassy Suites is not worth $24.99, that was disappointing. We did enjoy the food at Black drum. Overall its a nice place but the start of the trip with check in and that old musty room 402G in The Brighton tower left a bad taste. Also the fact that the staff member told me there was no availability on the opposite side facing the water park, which was a lie was disturbing. We lost a hour of our trip, trying to find a new hotel last minute, Only to be accommodated immediately with another staff memeber. I don't think i would go back.

Property is old and outdated. Carpet is damped and smell. Couch is also old and dirty. Everything is so outdated.

Clean rooms. Went in October and it was very quiet. Saw very few people inside the hotel. Beach view was good. Downfall was eveey morning a truck came to the neighboring hotel and backed up beeping. Also there was not one single ice machine in the building.

I stayed at the Brighton. Overall the property is very pretty and clean. The first night the bed was super uncomfortable woke up in or of pain. I walked over to the Embassy twice for either housekeeping to add another comforter for comfort or can I switch to another room. I was assured someone would come up the first time (housekeeping never showed) I wasted my whole Monday in the hotel room waiting for housekeeping or for a room change ( I was to be called when my room on the 16 th floor was cleaned) I was never called. I gave up around sunset when I realized my comfortability as an older woman with pre existing conditions wasn’t going to get address. I checked out two days later in so more back pain then when I got there. So much for a relaxing vacation. I thought about trying the hot tub in the pool area and that was so dirty I just laid in the sun on the beach. Other than this. This resort is very pretty

I love Kingston Plantations. Have been staying here for years. The check-in sucked this time around. The line was extremely long and there was only 1 person at the counter checking in. I heard people ahead of me complaining as well. After waiting about 10 minutes, other people finally came up front to help. Waited in line maybe 25-30 minutes before I was checked in. That is not a good look. On a Saturday around check-in time (4pm), there should be enough staff ready to help to keep people from having to wait so long. Other than that, my stay was wonderful. The villa was spacious, more than enough room for the 4 of us. And I love being able to use the shuttle to get where we need to go. The shuttle took us to the Hilton, back and forth to the pool. I would still stay again and recommend to others!

Close to everything and friendly staff! Nice pools on premises and beaches were well maintained. Only issues were that room service did not show up once to clean our room for a 6 day stay (I had to call to request towels and toilet paper which they did provide but they didn’t remove old towels).

We enjoyed the property and ammonites but we had to switch rooms three times. The first room was dirty and still had trash in the condo. Second room's AC did not work and it was 75. The third room was great but it was horrible packing up our stuff twice to move. I would go back but I would only stay in the Brighton Tower, the other towers (Hamptons) are ran down and dirty.

I’ve been going to Kingston Resorts for over twenty years, and while it’s been a long-time favorite, this recent visit was disappointing in many ways. The positives: The front desk agents were fantastic—friendly, welcoming, and helpful. They really made a great first impression. The challenges: Reaching anyone by phone was nearly impossible. I tried the operator, front desk, concierge, and even the Black Drum restaurant with no luck. If we needed anything, we had to walk to the lobby ourselves. The room cleanliness was just so-so. There was visible dust everywhere—on surfaces, décor, and fixtures—which made the space feel neglected. We paid for an Oceanview room, but the view wasn’t great. Thankfully, the balcony had nice furniture, and that made up for it a bit. The biggest letdown—pool and water park: This has always been the highlight of our trips, but not this year. The pool water was murky with debris and things floating around in it. I know they clean it in the mornings, but there was no maintenance throughout the day. It felt dirty and uncared for. The pool attendants were rude and unhelpful—unlike the fantastic staff from years past, who were warm, attentive, and welcoming. Adding to the frustration: you’re no longer allowed to bring in any outside food or drinks—not even water or snacks for the kids. Meanwhile, food and drinks at the resort are outrageously expensive. To top it off, the trash cans by the pool were constantly overflowing.

Wrong key cards given at check in then ignored repeated phone calls. Had to walk back over to Embassy S to get cards fixed. Made me very upset and late for my appointment!

First property ( one bedroom villa) had roaches: privately owned property. But hotel was very accommodating and moved us to a two bedroom with great views. And gave us free voucher's to Hilton full breakfast bar that’s not included if you stay at private properties.

Overall good stay. They did not have the room ready at check-in so they issued a $75 food voucher for the restaurant. Don’t forget to let housecleaning know you want them to clean, they don’t do it automatically.

This was our third stay at this property. It is a beautiful resort and we love it! Unfortunately housekeeping fell short this stay. We checked in about 10pm, got to our condo and found there were no bath towels, soap, coffee, dish towels or detergent and even worse 1/2 a roll of toilet paper for 2 bathrooms and 4 people.

We were paying over $250 per night, we expect better service than this. Unfortunately, little experiences like this can leave a big impression.

I arrived around 12:30, I wasn’t expecting to check in, but went to the front desk to get the parking pass, but they said I could check in early for $75. I didn’t want to spend more money, so she said to come back at 3….I arrived at 3:40 and they said the room wasn’t ready. I stood in line until 4 to check in & still said I couldn’t check in, when clearly my reservation stats check in is at 4. When I stated that is the time I paid for and I would like a discount, miraculously, they found a room. I just think it was ironic that for $75 or requesting a discount they immediately found a room available. Also, I was hit up for a timeshare. That night, someone entered our room at 5am turned on the light & after I jumped out of bed screaming, turned off the light and left. I am not sure if they came in from the front door or the adjoining room. There is no additional lock from the room…I am not sure how they pushed the door open, but it was super scary. I blocked the door with the table after that incident. Our friends purchased the umbrella and chairs from the beach and they placed the umbrella so low that it was hard to get under, not to mention, everyone was on top of each other!

Very conveniently located.

Great location. Easy access to beach, shopping, restaurants.

Very close to the beach.

Big rooms and good access to pool and beach.

It was not a condo, it was a room.did not even have a cup for coffee. No sofa to sit down. I paid extra for a condo which was not even close to a condo. Misrepresentation by Kingston Plantation. Not a spoon. Nothing! Will never stay there.They should be fined for misrepresentation on the internet. Disappointed, ☹️

Beautiful place, easy access to the beach , nice swimming pool with a nice vibe! All good we enjoyed our trip.

We love the beautiful landscape and ease to the pool and beaches.

Property is so close to the beach and brewery!!

Upon arrival the gated entrance provided assurance I was in the right place. The property was well maintained from the villa sections, to the high rises and pool areas. The environment and atmosphere at the main pool was great with the DJ and music playing. The bar with waitress service was on point. Finding a chair can be difficult and people do put stuff down and never seem to come back but easy to figure out and work around. Our 2BR condo provided great space for my family. Ocean view was more than enough with balconies that spanned the full length of the condo. Beds were comfy with extra pillows and even extras in the closet for the pullout in the living room.

Easy to navigate to, on site amenities, and close to shopping and dining. Unit needed painting and there was no glass top on one of the coffee tables. Loved the ocean front and easy beach access. Front desk was very friendly and responsive.

Everything we needed was right on the property. Dining, the beach, bike or golf cart rentals, indoor and outdoor pools. Although we didn't need to leave the property, we were close enough to all the fun Myrtle Beach has to offer.

Depending on the building they put you in depends on the amenities you receive. For 6 people, we received two towels for a 4 night stay. Also, because they put us into the South Hampton tower and not the Embassy Suites, our breakfast was $25/pp, but if we were in the Embassy it would have been included. We didn't know what hotel we were going to be put into so I couldn't help but feel a little put off by that. It's one property, but you don't all get treated the same.

Awesome experience ! The breakfast package is worth it !

Me aThe only negative thing I have to say is the wait for food was extremely too long especially with kids. There needs to be more food options. The breakfast buffet is $25 a person regardless if you’re an adult or kid. That’s $75 a day for breakfast.
