Hello! My family and I are planning our first family vacation to Myrtle Beach this year. I have two son%26#39;s 4 and 8. I am trying to decide which hotel to choice seeing as there are SO MANY! I am down to Long Bay Resort, Compass Cove, Sea Crest, or Sea Mist. Has anyone stayed at any of these hotels? Are the family packages worth the money? I see that at Sea Mist for the family package you are staying across the street. Is there a difference? Is there a difference in the different buildings for Compass Cove? I am so confused! If anyone can help me out I would greatly appreciate it!!
Thank you!
Help With Hotel Choice!!Oh .... forgot to mention I plan on driving down from Michigan the week of August 14th and need a hotel that at least has a frig, microwave, and safe in room
Help With Hotel Choice!!The Sea mist package is a great value esp.if you are on a buget.You can upgrade you package to a oceanfront or view for extra and it may be worth it if you like to sit on your balcony at night like I do.They have many room types there so they do have ones with the items you request.If you do decide on Sea mist make sure you request one of the renovated rooms.I would call them directly.We have stayed at the sea crest also and I love it there also.they have the type of room you request.Neither one is the ritz but Sea crest is nicer but Sea crest is a better value and funner for the kiddies.
I just returned from Myrtle Beach! My family and I go about 3-5 times a year and we always stay in Kingston Plantation Embassy Suites or the Brighton Condos. They have a water park on the premises (fun for all ages) and it%26#39;s all located on the beach, with all rooms having ocean views (partial or full). The Brighton Condos are more expensive than the hotel, but is serviced by the hotel staff daily, includes a full kitchen, utensils, washer/dryer, master bedroom w/king, 2nd room w/2 doubles, 2 full baths, living room dining room, long extended balcony. They can be pricey, but search online for rates about $190 at the Brighton, and much less at Embassy Suites. Embassy Suites includes a breakfast whereas Brighton doesn%26#39;t.
Tip #1: refer to local newspapers and coupon books found at grocery stores, Wal-Mart, etc. for coupons at restaurants/activities. Also visit the site of the actual restaurant/activity for coupons.
Tip#2: Go to Wal-Mart and buy your own umbrella ($10-$20)and chairs ($7-$30). This helped our family as we spent $30 total for a good umbrella and 2 chairs, when it costs about $25 a day if you rent them from the lifeguard.
Tip#3: If you stay on the North Side, visit the Southern Market near Kroger%26#39;s Grocery Store for reasonably priced healthy/hearty food. We love this place, as there is something for all (soups, salads, sandwiches, macaroni, fries, chicken, seafood, coffee, candy, fruit, desert, bakery, ect.). Google the restaurant and check out their website for their daily menu, it%26#39;s worth it.
Good luck!
Thank you both for replying to my post. I checked out the Plantation and it is a bit pricey for me at the moment. I will look over the Sea Mist brochure again and hopefully get my husband to help me. Anyone stay at Long Bay or Compass Cove?
We have been staying at Ocean Creek for 11 years now we rent through Ocean Creek.net. There are lot of pools (1) indoor and several outdoors, they offer several types of accommodations, NO Lazy river though. I also stayed at Kingston Plantation and that was very nice also. My aunt stayed at Long Bay and she loved it. We have 4 sons and they enjoy Myrtle Beach so much. Their ages are 15,14,8and3. You will have a great time.
That should read Sea mist is a better value and the kids will love it.
The Caribbean has nice areas for kids, and is reasonably priced. The Oceanfront 2 room suites have full kitchens, a bedroom with either 2 double beds or 1 King bed, and a living room with a pull down bed and sofa bed. They have kids activities during the summer and is very close to Broadway at the Beach (great family place)
We have stayed at Compass Cove for the past three years and love it! My family stayed in the 3 bedroom condo in the Mariner building. Your kids will love all of the water attractions-lots of lazy rivers, hot tubs, pools, and kiddie pools with fountains-indoor and out! There are also grills available beside the pools which is a nice touch. We have tried many places, but we have found our favorite. The breakfast buffet is wonderful and the lounge has great sandwiches. The rooms are spacious with a very large balcony. Staff is friendly and helpful. Enjoy your vacation!
thank you to everyone for helping me out! Can%26#39;t wait to go in August!
