Beautiful location on the beach.
Lots of outdoor pools and amenities for the family. Loved the resort vibe with the afternoon DJ, tiki bar, breakfast buffet & grilling options.
Great location.
Nice part of Myrtle Beach.
Definitely recommend for families.
This was the first time ever going to the beach for me. I did alot of research before I chose a place to stay and I'm so glad I chose this place. A friend went with as well and they stayed on the other end of myrtle beach at a different resort and let's just say I chose right. We stayed in the north tower with a 2 bedroom and balcony oceanfront and it was absolutely beautiful. The room was updated. The balcony was huge and everything was sooo clean! The pools and hot tubs weren't overly packed so you could actually enjoy time in them as well as the board walks to the beach were so nice. There was a Walmart less than 5 mins away so that was really convenient too! If we ever decide to stay in myrtle beach again I'll definitely be booking this resort!
1 bedroom perfect for family of 3 (including teenager). Loved the room was oceanfront - think all rooms here are. Convenient to stores and restaurants. Plenty of pools and beach space - was there over the 4th of July - with a lot of people
The cleanliness of the property was excellent. Pools and hot tubs were numerous and clean, breakfast was delicious and beaches were outstanding
Room was a bit dated but water pressure in shower was excellent and room was clean during stay. Room was more of a typical motel room but served the purpose
Excellent place to stay. Staff was great!! Very clean and great location
Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2026

Disliked: Cleanliness
The room has not been updated, cleaned or deep cleaned possibly since the 90’s. I’m not that picky of a person, but it was pretty gross. Things were broken, worn and the beds in all 3 rooms were like wobbly marshmallows on a jello shot. You will be disappointed unless you can get a guarantee or photos of your room in advance. The photos on the website did not represent the product. Other than the room, other stuff was okay - parking good, access to beach, ample pools.
The room was very nice and the staff was so helpful! Beautiful hotel with lots of things to do. We had a great weekend here. Planning our next vacation now! Recommend indeed!
An affordable option that does not skimp on quality.
Great value for the price of stay
+Ocean views + Balconies
+Right on the beach
+Kitchen with full fridge, stove, and dish washer
+6 pools/10 hot tubs/2 Lazy rivers.
+Friendly/Helpful staff
+Laundromat on site
+Plenty of parking and in the shade.
-Could've been a bit cleaner
-Had a few minor issues with the room but Maintenance handled they quickly.
-Have to go all the way to front desk for fresh towels (but can get an any time of day and they're never low on stock), no daily housekeeping but can request 24hrs in advance.
No beach seats/umbrellas offered by Hotel. There are seats you can get from the City but two seats/umbrella cost $50/ day
General note on SOUTH CAROLINA. Wherever you go the OCEAN will have JELLYFISH. Good chance you will get stung if you get in the water.
But given the proximity of pools to beach, you can relax on the beach and jump into the nearby pools to cool off instead
yes, my room overlooked the beach and the pools. I loved the hotel except that the restaurant was open just until 2 p.m. also, for the breakfast they didn't have a lot of options and you had to pay $20 for the buffet there wasn't any other alternatives to the breakfast price.
