WorldMark Marina Dunes

Nice modern accommodations, easy beach access. The neighbors upstairs were a bit loud, but overall a great stay for the weekend.

We often stay at various World Mark resorts… this has been the best thus far! Amazing views, hotel itself is in great condition, beautiful layout and location! Rooms are spacious and interior décor is updated and modern (not run down and outdated like some of the other World Mark resorts). Now I know why it’s so difficult to book this place!

Beautiful area, quiet & secluded. Unit was well appointed & spotless. Very comfortable stay, will return as soon as there is an opening!

Amazing Little Bit of Heaven for our family. With a Gorgeous Beach minutes of walking away. Wow what a nice two room unit. We have this Worldmark Thursday to Thursday. And… some pictures follows:
Phil’s Fish Market n Eatery at Moss Landings. Not to be missed!!! Old Fisherman Grotto at Montery Old Wharf. Not to be missed!!! Don’t believe me? Just Unilocal it!!! Hmmmm. Not to be missed. Can we Unilocal Unilocal?
Ditto to Vida A’s Unilocal on Worldmark Marina 8 months before me. Yes my Fire Place gives me that Warm Fuzzy Charm.
Really, REALLY miss my old Motel 6 days.
My last WorldMark stays were…
WM Tahoe South Shore 3 bedroom Twice, WM San Francisco, two bedroom Twice. WM Windsor (Gosh this was a huge and grand sleep over). With WM Bass Lake Yosemite next. Hmmmm. Any Unilocal’R like me stayed at Motel 6 Pismo Beach.
Well believe. No Fire Place at that M6… if I recall.
Oh. Should you want to know. WM Marina two bedrooms units appx 850 sq feet. Or TEN times more than my stay at Motel 6 Pismo.
Douglas, Belen, and the other staff that attended to us are Wonderful, Wonderful people. Kudo’s to 4 WM’s staffs we met, needed so far. Today is Sunday.
South. Carmel by the Sea is like 16 miles away. Big Sur 40 miles. North. Moss Landings 6 miles. Very convient a super Walmart in Marina is 5 minutes away. Neariest Costco is in Sand city or Seaside city. 8 miles from WM.
WM Marina to Montery Aquarium 11 miles.

My mom is a longtime owner and we frequent the Marina location often since it is down the road from her home. They recently remodeled and the rooms look great. There is a wading pool that my 13 month old loved playing in plus a larger pool and hot tub. Sadly the spa was full of kids so we didn’t get to try it. Walking distance from the Marina State Beach and Kula Ranch.

The only reason they have 2 stars is because the beds were comfy and the. location was great BUT we had a situation at this location and it has not been resolved nor have the Marina Dunes staff tried make us feel better about what happened… still waiting for someone to call us. not pleased with their customer service thus far .my parents have been timeshare owners with them for over 8 years and this is the first time we had a problem. I wish they were more in a hurry to resolve it

This place is absolutely amazing. The resort is beautiful. Michael at the front desk was able to check us in early and he was so kind, friendly and helpful. Our unit is perfect. It is very tastefully decorated & has great TVs and a stereo. We have a great view of the ocean. It is so nice to sit out on the balcony and listen to the waves. I really appreciated the courtesy call from the front desk to see if we needed anything and to know they were available 24hrs a day. EVERY person that we encountered that works for the resort has been so friendly and helpful. Seriously, everyone. My 2 kids (ages 10 & 12) were able to use the heated swimming pool this evening and they were very pleased by the size of the pool as well as how warm it was. The daughter even got to play at the playground today. The very short walk to the beach was breathtaking this evening. A bonfire was set by staff at 6:30pm. Very nice touch. The resort is very close to many restaurants. We drove to Seaside for a late lunch and dinner. We will definitely visit this gem again. We will be sad to leave on Monday but glad to be celebrated our 23^rd wedding anniversary at such a lovely place. Thanks Worldmark Marina Dunes!

Beautiful view, great accommodations & awesome staff! Two bedroom & two bath was well stocked & nicely designed. Easy access to the beach. I would definitely stay again.

We stayed here in July when the weather was fairly chilly and windy. Has the weather been nicer it would have been great. Our room was about a 3 – 5 min walk to the beach. Where we watched the sunset and there is a bone fire pit, which they light and you can bring snacks, etc. it’s nice if you want to socialize with others that are staying there as well.
Cons: Unfortunately when we arrived they were doing maintenance. We were told we would not have hot water for a couple two a few hours. A bit disappointing. Especially when you have sensitive skin and the sand and salt water mixture will cause a rash (if not properly washed off shortly after).
This is a great place for families or groups to enjoy time with one another. At the beach, BBQing, cooking in the kitchen, etc.

I only wish we could get more time here. As it was I booked 13 months out and only grabbed one night on the tail-​end of our trip to Angels Camp. We went to Monterey, which is about 30 mins away, and saw the aquarium, the pier and all the shops. We arrived at night so we didn’t know what we were in for here because it is very dark in this area at night. The room was very small, more like a large hotel room instead of the typical suite you get with Worldmark. Even in a two bedroom for one night, five people had to really squeeze in. But when we eokr up the next day and saw the beach it was amazing. You don’t get a beach view because there is another resort in front of ours, but it is only a short walk. The beach is so big and beautiful, we found tons of pretty shells on the sand and checked out lots of live sand dollars in the surf, very cool. I would love to go back but we would either need two units or my husband and I would need to leave the kids at home. A week in this small of a space would make me crazy. No AC in the units but we went in Aug and it wasn’t at all needed, the weather was cool but sunny and perfect.
