Pier South Resort, Autograph Collection

Reoccurring place I take my family. Beautiful clean kid friendly and staff is always so hospitable

Great staff! Amazing rooms

Hot tub was down the entire stay

We loved the small, resort style, getaway to the resort. The staff and on-site restaurant was perfect for a relaxing getaway. The ocean views were amazing and small resort style was perfect. The spa was not in service but the Pool was just right for sun bathing and cooling off. Right on the beach, you would pay over double for the views and proximity. It’s a real bargain for a couples getaway. Plenty on great food onsite and within walking distance. DoorDash is available from a bunch of mainstream and local restaurants. Great coffee shops within a 2 minute walk. A convenience store nearby. The pier a nice walk. This is really a hidden gem and budget friendly. But feels like you are getting a steal of a deal. If we would have stayed longer we would have scheduled the onsite spa massage and used the gym, but this was all about relaxing and enjoying the quiet.

The location of the hotel was excellent. The hotel is located perfectly on the beach. There were a lot of restaurants within walking distance. And there is a restaurant on site that was delicious with courteous staff. The brunch was good as well. I enjoyed the complimentary wine and beer on the rooftop right before sunset. My room had a pier view & we were still able to see the beach. Absolutely loved our stay!!!!

I did not like the lack of a parking lot. There was only valet parking for $30 overnight. Fortunately, we were able to find street parking.

Belle hôtel propre bien situé.

Aucun stationnement pour les motos, ils nous ont même pas donné accès au stationnement souterrain. Je n’y retournerai pas s’il n’y a pas de stationnement pour les motos.

Thank you hammie and iseah The room was awesome Too bad for the broken hot tub Hooray for the nicely heated pool Thank you :)

We absolutely loved our stay at this hotel. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome and well cared for throughout our visit. The property itself is beautiful—perfectly situated right on the beach with stunning views and easy access to the water. We spent time at the pool, which was clean, relaxing, and a great place to unwind. We also dined at the hotel restaurant, and both the food and service were excellent. One night we ordered room service, and the meal arrived hot and fresh in about 20 minutes, which was impressive. The surrounding town is lovely as well, with plenty to explore and enjoy just a short walk or drive away. I would stay here again in a heartbeat whenever I’m in the area. Highly recommend.

I rarely write negative reviews, but this stay warrants an honest warning to other travelers. I booked Pier South Resort because it is marketed as a beachfront Marriott Autograph Collection resort. I specifically wanted a relaxing night on the beach and used 58,000 Bonvoy points expecting a premium experience. What I found instead was one of the most disappointing Marriott stays I’ve had. The first thing I noticed upon arrival was a strong sewage odor throughout the area. By morning, it became clear why: the beach was posted as closed and unsafe due to contamination. Calling a property a “beach resort” without clearly emphasizing that the beach is unusable is deeply misleading. The property itself felt neglected and under-maintained. The room was acceptable at first glance, but the overall hotel atmosphere suggested deferred upkeep rather than resort standards. The hot tub was closed, the pool area felt lifeless, and many spaces felt tired rather than welcoming. More concerning was the sense of insecurity. Elevators were unrestricted, my room had multiple exterior access points, the balcony door was unlocked on arrival, and there appeared to be non-guests lingering or camping around the property and beach area. As a solo traveler, I did not feel safe. What was supposed to be a premium coastal getaway turned into extra transportation costs so I could leave the area and spend time elsewhere. The "resort's" response was a modest partial-points gesture that did not reflect the seriousness of the experience. This property is not consistent with what travelers expect from Marriott or the Autograph Collection. Until conditions materially improve and marketing becomes more transparent, I would strongly recommend using your points or money elsewhere.
