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.
