    I love that every room is ocean front! All that stand between you and the beach is a small grassy area and dunes. The pool is located to the side with a little kids splash area. Perfect and simple. Don't look for anything fancy. This is not a resort and the place is old. The rooms are very clean and have been updated. There's a small bar and cafe downstairs that are open during the summer. Vending machines and an ice maker that makes shave ice located on the first floor. The staff is great and it's so simple to call and make a reservation. This is my little paradise when I just want to get away on a cheap, simple trip.

    Talk about a trip down memory lane. This was our first time staying here and it reminded so much of the hotels we used to stay in when I was a child. It was clean and right on the beach. All of the staff we encountered were very friendly! Our ac unit crapped out on the first day and it was promptly repaired. The restaurant food was good but a bit pricey. The only negative was no fart fan in the bathroom, so if you are modest or shy...take imodium.

    Staff was so friendly and helpful. You can't beat the price for an oceanfront hotel. The on-site restaurant was so convenient.

    Fantastic stay at the Courtyard Myrtle Beach Oceanfront! I have stayed at many Courtyards before -…read morethey're solid for business stays but usually nothing special. This one was the exception! Right on the beach with amazing ocean front room. We could see the ocean from our bed. Very private, the balconies were shielded from the neighbors and even the pools below could only see us if we were out on the balcony. The views were quite stunning! In addition, the pools were nice plus you have multiple pools to choose from. In the evening, the 2nd floor patio with fire pit was great to hang out and relax. Parking is directly across the street in the parking garage. Very quick and easy to get to. Starbucks across the street as well. Highly recommend this hotel and would love to stay here again!

    Perfect spot for an overnight stay while in town for a sporting event (track and field)…read more We typically stay in North Myrtle so this was a change for us, staying so close to so much "action". Check in was a breeze. Staff was super friendly. This hotel is located in a great spot...within walking distance to lots of eateries and direct access to the beach. All of the rooms have ocean views. Initially I thought the bed position was weird but I quickly appreciated waking up to views of the beach and ocean. Everything was clean and well appointed in our king room. My only complaint is that the towels were pretty bad and extremely thin, more so than any other hotel I've visited. We went to the bar on the second floor to people watch. It's a cute spot and has access to outdoor seating with a view and fire pits. Our drinks were just "ok"...I've never had ice in a French 75 and my husband's old fashioned was made with crushed ice and not a ball or large cube which was odd. There is ample parking in the deck across the street. Overall, a nice stay!

    Club Wyndham Ocean Boulevard, N Myrtle Beach, SC. Mid-Sept, 2026. This resort is described as a…read morepremier (3-star) oceanfront timeshare resort featuring 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom suites in four towers with full kitchens, lots of pantry space, balconies, and within-unit washers and dryers. Resort amenities are abundant and include direct beach access, indoor and outdoor pools, hot tubs, (small) lazy rivers, a fitness center, an arcade, and a fire pit. We made a relatively late reservation here for five nights when we learned that international guests would be visiting. There would be seven guests (all adults) for two nights, and only four of us for the other three nights. We used extra timeshare points (making it more expensive) in order to get a unit on an upper floor, hoping that the upper floor would give us the best ocean view. Unit. (3/5). Our unit in Tower 2 was spacious (especially when there were only 4 of us), and had everything that we needed and was clean. We especially appreciated the fully-stocked full kitchen with generous pantry space, having a washer and dryer in the unit, and the jacuzzi in the main bedroom (which we under-utilized!). The beds were comfortable, and had high quality linens. However, we were somewhat disappointed with the unit as our ocean view was limited (although you could see the ocean, beach, and one of the pools from our balcony). And, as the resort was built in 2002, and last renovated in 2011, it's now beginning to show its age -- with sofas and chairs that were no longer firm, some chips on furniture, and the musty smell that comes with high humidity. Amenities and Activities. (3.5/4). Tower 2 was convenient, and had many amenities that we utilized. It was home to the Lobby and Registration, had direct beach access, a lazy river, access to indoor and outdoor pools, game room/arcade, activities center, gift shop, and fire pit. As with our room, some of the amenities need upgrades. For instance, the hot tub was lukewarm at best, and the markings on the shuffleboard had eroded off. The resort also had a full calendar of "Resort Experiences", which included arts and crafts, shows, fitness classes, and more. HOWEVER, we were three days in before we even learned that there were resort activities, as we weren't given a schedule at check-in. For instance, we would've gone to the Sunday evening "Karaoke Welcome Party" at the fire pit, but we weren't aware. We DID enjoy the "Hula Fire Show" a few nights later. A few other random points. (1) Parking could be challenging if it's important to you to have parking close to your unit. If not, there's plentiful parking (and a free shuttle, which we didn't utilize) behind Tower 4. We were able to get parking in Tower 2 most evenings, except one evening when we got back late. (2) we were surprised that the concierge did have discount tickets to the shows in Myrtle Beach that we wanted to attend. (3) we would stay here again, but probably wouldn't pay extra again for a higher floor.

    Towers on the Grove North Myrtle Beach…read more3 bedroom/ 3 bath Room 330 Positives: 1) Nice flat beach area. 2) Good location. 3) Good outside area (hot tub, pool and lazy river) except could not get to the beach from there due to exits being blocked. 4) Rooms were clean. Negatives: 1) Not enough handicapped parking, 10 spaces total. That equals ONE space for every two floors of the hotel. 2) Could not get to and from pool to beach area. Gate were locked and blocked by large trash cans! 3) Safe took up entire closet in the master. Absolutely no where to put luggage. Nowhere to lay anything, TV filled the chest top. 4) Areas were tight, swivel chair in Livingroom could not swivel to face the ocean. Dining table held 6 chairs, one stuck out in the floor. 5) Only bathtubs, no shower in the unit. 6) Check-in was the worst!!! Having to go way down the road to the Prince Resort. 7) Was rushed when we arrived, given less than 5 minutes to unpack car... we're not allowed to keep car there to take luggage to room even though signs there allowed 15 or 20 minutes.

    This was a nice buffet had a little bit of everything the only problem was the quiche was very wet…read more Lot bacon on hand a lot of sausage plenty of eggs toast even had a little grilled cheese with ham in it. You can also buy a bloody Mary behind the counter in a plastic cup. All the orange juice and water and other juices you can drink in a nice view overlooking the pool. Plenty of space and of course as always we ended up closing the place.

    After reading some of the reviews, we honestly didn't have super high hopes for this hotel. But for…read morethe price and the fact that it's oceanfront, we thought, "Why not give it a try?"After all, we went for the beach and the views, and we spend very little time in the room other than enjoying our balcony--which has been one of our favorite parts! We did enjoy the pool area but do recommend getting there early if you want a chair, we had beach chairs so for us it wasn't a deal breaker. Yes, the hotel is dated, but we understand that it's in a hurricane zone, so we're pretty understanding of that. Our room was clean and decent, and honestly, our only real complaint about the room was that the sink and tub didn't drain very well. We didn't use the stove but it was very outdated but atleast it was there If we wanted to use it. The elevator floor was wet & sandy but here again it is a beach front hotel; you're going to have it! The breakfast bar was just okay, and while the eating area is on the smaller side, they have to-go containers available and a nice-sized outdoor patio. The parking isn't directly on the property, but there's a parking lot right across the street, so it really wasn't a big inconvenience for us. Overall, for the price, location, oceanfront views, beach and pool access, we really can't complain! Would we stay here again? Absolutely! Sometimes you just have to experience a place for yourself instead of letting the reviews make the decision for you!

    For starters, this hotel does NOT have proper security footage in place. None of the floors have…read morecameras per the staff. Ridiculous right. You better pray that the staff doesn't enter your room while you are down at the beach enjoying family/ friend time with your loved ones. The perp evidently knows no cameras means endless opportunities to strike. Unsuspectingly, we returned back to my friend's hotel room only to find that my purse had been stolen--I left it inside the room because why not?! Of course we called the police once we realized the hotel wouldn't be much of service to assist us. You've all been warned. I would never stay at a hotel with no security cameras; we didn't realize they didn't have them in place until we asked them to check the cameras to help recover my missing purse (sigh). I hope I get some justice from this very unfortunate ordeal. Oh and the room wasn't cleaned properly. My friend grabbed a towel after check in and anxiously cleaned the filth from baseboards.

Trash barrel was overflowing when we got there. The gym needed a great deal of work. Machines in disrepair and floor was not vacuumed or swept for days. The staff was very friendly and warm.

    I really wanted to like this place, but it ended up being one of the strangest hotel/resort…read moreexperiences I've had. The check-in process started things off on the wrong foot. Even though I completed all of the online pre-registration beforehand, I had to repeat the entire process at the front desk because they couldn't find any record of it. The line was long, instructions were minimal, and parking was confusing. Both towers park in the Indigo garage, and you have to use the third-floor walkway to get to the other tower--information that wasn't clearly explained. The room itself was the biggest disappointment. The layout is incredibly long and narrow and honestly just... odd. The master bedroom shares a wall with the public hallway, and because we were close to the elevator, we heard people talking at all hours. It felt more like sleeping in a hallway than a bedroom. The furnishings are badly overdue for an update. The furniture feels worn out, the closet door came off its track when opened, the master sink barely drained, the safe battery was dead (maintenance had to replace it), and the sheets felt like sandpaper. There were no USB charging ports or convenient outlets like you find in just about every hotel these days. The "kitchen" is really just a mini fridge (without a freezer), microwave, sink, toaster, coffee maker, and blender. Then the layout gets even stranger. The living room has a sofa bed, but there were no pillows and only one set of sheets stored in the master closet. Meanwhile, the second bathroom connected to the living room is enormous--with dual vanities, a huge shower, and a Jacuzzi tub--while the master bathroom is the size of a basic Holiday Inn bathroom. The whole setup feels backwards. The ocean and pool view was beautiful, but the room itself felt like a design that never figured out what it wanted to be. One of my biggest frustrations was the housekeeping policy. We were charged a daily housekeeping fee (nearly $30 per day), yet the paperwork says they don't actually provide housekeeping. The first two days no one even came until I called. When they finally did, they simply emptied the trash and left a couple of clean towels on the counter. Charging a daily housekeeping fee without providing daily housekeeping feels misleading. To top it off, the only proactive phone call we received during our stay wasn't to see if everything was okay--it was someone trying to sell us a "timeshare". There are also no ice machines in the tower and no front desk staff nearby if you need assistance, so every issue requires contacting the separate check-in building. For the price we paid (roughly $500+ per night after resort fees, housekeeping fees, marketing fees, and taxes), I expected a much more polished experience. Instead, it felt dated, confusing, and overpriced. The ocean view was lovely, but unfortunately that wasn't enough to make up for everything else. I wouldn't stay here again or recommend it.
