The three-pearl Oceans One Resort has more of a condo community atmosphere than that of a resort, as its lobby is located across the street and there are no dining options on-site. Five fun water features are about the only amenities that resemble that of other Myrtle Beach beachfront properties. What stands out most are the contemporary and stylish design of the 130 condos which are outfitted with balconies and kitchens. If you can look past the limited housekeeping, small gym, and book a room from the hotel's room inventory and not from individual owners (these condos vary in terms of cleanliness), it could make for a good stay. A daily resort fee takes care of parking and Wi-Fi. As an alternative, Compass Cove Oceanfront Resort has two slides, a few restaurants, and a kids' club, often at a lower price.

There’s a lot of promise at the two-and-a-half-pearl Carolinian Beach Resort. In 2017, it updated 100 rooms to a contemporary style not often seen among the Myrtle Beach beachfront properties and are planning to do the same with the Suites (which have kitchens) in 2018. A free hot breakfast is a nice perk, but there’s no restaurant or bar on-site. Families and couples have a lot of water amenities to choose from, from the beach to lazy rivers, hot tubs, and indoor and outdoor pools. One major annoyance is resort fees, weekend surcharges, and marketing fees added to rates. Couples enjoy Carolinian Beach Resort’s relaxed and not overly family-focused vibe, but might consider North Beach Plantation which has an upscale design, spa, and swim-up bar.

Spanning several street blocks in South Myrtle Beach, the Sea Mist Oceanfront Resort is a huge mid-range option with loads of family-friendly features, a massive amount of rooms, and unfortunately: some problems. Occupying 20 buildings that could use a refresh, all 781 spacious rooms come with kitchenettes, flat-screen TVs, and coffeemakers (but no coffee). Some rooms are located oceanfront while others are about a five-minute walk away. The lively resort features 16 pools or hot tubs, a massive water park, and a kids' wading pool. There are five restaurants and bars, though some are seasonal. Major downsides include fees for the water park, lack of pool towels, and housekeeping issues. Travelers looking for a little more quiet during their vacation should consider Hampton Inn Broadway at the Beach, which has a quieter vibe.

Guests don’t seem to mind that the mid-range Hampton Inn Myrtle Beach - Broadway at the Beach is a 30-minute walk from the Myrtle Beach beachfront.

Sand Dunes Resort & Spa is a 417-room budget hotel on Myrtle Beach with a few resort-style amenities, like multiple pools, a lazy river, a kid’s splash and play area, and a spa. The dated rooms and public areas hold this property back from achieving its full potential. However, rates are reasonable and families in particular often appreciate freebies such as bike rentals and Wi-Fi.

Part of the Kingston Resorts complex and occupying a lovely beachfront location in North Myrtle Beach, this upper-middle-range hotel offers a solid set of features and spacious two-room suites. There are both indoor and outdoor pools here, plus guests have access to a water park. Wellness options include an attractive spa and an impressive fitness center -- but it's not on-site and requires a short walk. There's also extensive meeting/event space here. The 255 suites are spacious and have separate living areas and balconies, but decor is bland a chainlike. Expect to pay a daily resort fee that covers Wi-Fi and self parking. Families who prefer to be closer to the hubbub of downtown Myrtle Beach might want to consider Captain’s Quarters Resort instead, which has a bowling alley, arcade, and water park.

Hilton Garden Inn Myrtle Beach/Coastal Grand Mall provides the safe, clean, and typical mid-range stay that Hilton members expect of the brand. While indoor and outdoor pools, a hot tub, and a restaurant serving a paid breakfast and dinner are convenient, some might not appreciate a 10-minute drive to the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk and Promenade. A free airport shuttle and a location across from the Coastal Grand Mall may make up for the beach inconvenience, as could the 112 contemporary rooms with modern amenities like microwaves, mini-fridges, and Keurig coffeemakers. Travelers who trust chain brand names might consider Best Western Plus Grand Strand Inn & Suites, which has similar amenities and lower rates, plus free breakfast and a beachfront location.
