The upper-middle-range Island Vista Resort is a 12-story property with a quiet beachfront location north of Myrtle Beach. While its location is away from the main action, there are a handful of casual dining options within a 10-minute walk. The 171 rooms and suites are spacious and come with kitchenettes, private balconies, and free Wi-Fi. The hotel's main restaurant, Cypress Room, is open for breakfasts and dinners, though neither are included in room rates. There's also a more casual poolside Tiki Bar, open for lunches, dinners, and cocktails. The three pools (indoor and outdoor), lazy river, kids' pools, and hot tubs keep guests busy throughout the day. Additional features include a fitness center, massage services, and a ballroom. Travelers looking for a more central location can also consider Landmark Resort, which offers more water and dining facilities.

Captain's Quarters Resort is like many of the mid-range family-friendly hotels along Ocean Boulevard -- rooms are a bit worn, but the beachfront location is a highlight. Another top draw here are the numerous pools, including both indoor and outdoor options, two lazy rivers, hot tubs, and a kids' pool with a pirate ship. There's also a large entertainment center with a 20-lane bowling alley and arcade games. Dining options include casual fare and drinks as well as a seasonal beach shack. As mentioned, guest rooms are dated and worn, plus past guests have complained of cleanliness issues, but rooms come with flat-screen TVs, microwaves, mini-fridges, and coffeemakers. Suites add kitchenettes with stoves/ovens. For something more modern and with nicer decor, check out the Island Vista Resort, but note that rates are a bit more expensive.

For a family getaway in Myrtle Beach, the mid-range Sea Crest Oceanfront Resort offers a long list of amenities for families. There's a water park, eight pool features, and an outdoor beach bar that serves food and drinks. The gym is dated and a full breakfast buffet isn’t offered, but there is a coffee shop providing Starbucks coffee and some light breakfast options. Of the 248 rooms, many are Efficiencies with kitchens, making it easy for travelers to prepare their own meals, though perhaps the same can be said of Standard Rooms which have mini-fridges and microwaves. Take note that the decor is dated in the rooms and cleanliness complaints have occurred. Dunes Village Resort is a good alternative that offers restaurants and a breakfast buffet.

Sandcastle Oceanfront Resort at the Pavilion is a great pick for travelers who prize beach and boardwalk access over modern accommodations. The 241 guest rooms are arising from a 2017 makeover, but they still have a budget design and reports of cleanliness issues. The one area they do well is in-room amenities like microwaves, mini-fridges, and coffeemakers. Without a restaurant, gym, or a consistently-opened bar, the most popular aspect of the hotel are the five pools, lazy river, and hot tubs on-site. Travelers might want to consider Breakers Resort which offers free breakfast, water parks, a gym, and rooms with kitchenettes.

This 256-room hotel is located in a quiet area in south Myrtle Beach, across the street from the airport. Its spacious one- and two-room "villas" with full kitchens are among the best accommodations in the area, with cute, beach-y decor -- white woods, and a color palette of blues, greens, and yellows. The property offers lots of family-friendly perks, including a game room, daily activities for the kids, several pools, and a beach club right on the sand with a lounge, two more pools, and showers. But the main building is not directly on the beach (it's across the street), and some buildings get noise from the airport and the helicopter pad.

The Westgate is an affordable family-friendly hotel right on the water. While the rooms are a bit on the tacky side -- with clashing patterns and colors throughout -- they are clean and have spacious balconies with great ocean views. There's plenty to keep families with young children entertained, such as multiple pools, a lazy river, a children's activity center, and a large game room. It's also adjacent to the Family Kingdom Amusement Park.

It’s refreshing to find a hotel in Myrtle Beach with lovely (as opposed to dated) interiors like you'll find at Marriott Myrtle Beach Resort & Spa at Grande Dunes. The hotel on a quiet stretch of beach about a 15-minute drive from Myrtle Beach Boardwalk and Promenade. This upscale property offers a wide-range of amenities for its diverse clientele. Kids like luxe amenities like a stylish video game lounge, indoor and outdoor pools, and a seasonal waterslide. With four restaurants and bars serving American cuisine, guests have a lot of dining options from which to choose. The 408 rooms are modern and come with mini-fridges and coffeemakers, though many lack full ocean views. Guests should note there's a pricey resort fee and that there are still fees for breakfast, the business center, and reserving a pool chair in the summer. North Beach Plantation is an appropriate alternative property with upscale amenities and condos with kitchens.

The Waves Hotel at Myrtle Beach is a family-run value hotel in a location that's quieter than the main strip. The hotel comes at a budget price, but there aren’t a lot of amenities, just an outdoor pool with ocean views and a lawn for sunbathing. Some of the hotel’s 23 rooms are in serious need of an update, but others have been refreshed more recently. Rooms with ocean-facing balconies and kitchenettes are available. Guests -- especially those traveling with pets -- may want to compare prices with the Mermaid Inn, a pet-friendly beachfront hotel with an outdoor pool deck set with colorful lounge chairs.

Location is a highlight at this mid-range condo property, which sits right on the beach and is within an eight-minute walk of the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk and Promenade. The resort offers both indoor and outdoor pools (including a lazy river and a kids' pool) as well as a moderately sized fitness room and extras like free DVD rentals, a business center, and guest laundry facilities. There's also a Dunkin' Donuts on-site and a seasonal snack bar by the pool. The 150 studios and one-, two-, and three-bedroom suites all have balconies and full kitchens, but they're individually owned, so decor varies. Some feel tired and are in need of updates, plus some guests complain of cleanliness issues. Families looking for more activity might consider the sister resort, the Bay Watch Resort & Conference Center, which features three restaurants and 18 water amenities.
