1) Marriott Resort at Grande Dunes
- The Marriott Resort quickly became my favorite hotel after it was built. The landscaping and pool views are absolutely breathtaking. Cuddle up on the oceanfront hammocks before heading up to the room for the night... They also have one of the best spas in Myrtle Beach!
- Located on the Intercoastal Waterway, the Marina Inn is one of Myrtle Beach's most luxurious/upscale full-service resorts (north end of Myrtle Beach). Watch the boats and yachts going down the waterway, or sit by one of the outside fire pits at night. This hotel is my #2 choice.
- These are condominium units located in the Royale Palms building at the Hilton at Kingston Plantation. The Hilton is on the northern end of Myrtle Beach, away from the hustle and bustle of the downtown Ocean Blvd area.
- Anderson Ocean Club one of Myrtle Beach's newest hotels. It is owned by the Oceana Resort Group (they also own Patricia Grand, Camelot by the Sea, Best Western Carolinian), etc. The Anderson Ocean Club is Oceana's luxury hotel (with full-service spa), located downtown on Ocean Blvd.
- This is also one of Myrtle Beach's newest hotels, located in the busier area of downtown Ocean Blvd. If you want to be in the center of the action, Ocean's One has a very new/modern feel at more reasonable rates. Excellent choice for an Ocean Blvd hotel.
- With granite counter-tops in the rooms, and a 30,000 sq. foot indoor waterpark, I could live at this hotel year-round! The rooms are amazing, but the amenities are really what set this hotel apart (pools, water slides, pool tables, shuffle board, ping-pong, life size checkboard, etc.).
- If you're a fan of Starwood hotels (Sheraton, Westin, W, Aloft), you should definitely check out this hotel! It's not ocean front, but if you're on a higher ocean-view floor, you'll have a clear view of the ocean. Great lobby, bar, and lounge area, and there's always something going on at the convention center. If you're lucky enough to be SPG Platinum, this hotel has an amazing Club Lounge!
